February 6, 2009, 15 years ago
San Antonio, Texas-based metalers HOD has posted a new song ('Victims') from their full-length debut, Serpent, at this location. Serpent will be released by Ibex Moon Records on March 17.
Addressing Hod fans, fiends and friends everywhere, guitarist Lord Necron had this to say, "We are proud to unleash one of our new songs for the public to preview. Put on your spikes, chug your beer and prepare to headbang and thrash your brains out!"
Regarding the band's moniker and any surrounding confusion, Lord Necro adds:
"As far as any confusion with the band name Hod, it is not an acronym. We do not spell it H.O.D. We spell it Hod. It is the English version of the Norse god Hodur. He is the blind god of darkness and winter. He was put to death by the gods for unintentionally killing Baldur. We have now taken the myth further by suggesting Hod is now a vengeful god for the fate that bestowed on him. He sits in hell plotting and conducting his revenge....The blind god seeks vengeance. We are but his voice..."
