Mother Of The Hydra (M.O.T.H.) is an ambient black metal band from Sweden, formed in 2006 by V-Kaos. The first full-length album “Contradiction” was recorded in 2010 but only released in 2011 on CD due to issues with the first label. Mother Of The Hydra is just as much about the experimental ritualistic tracks as it is about the more traditional black metal tracks. The main idea behind the band is the contradiction of us (humans) as mortal human beings of the flesh and immortal beings in spirit – and how this might just be a false image keeping us back. This is something often reflected upon in older alchemical works and thus the band takes inspiration from such sources.
