[2] The label grew to accommodate local bands such as Roswell, Corrin, Piebald, and Converge, and after Turner graduated from college in 1999, it became a full-time endeavor.

[citation needed] Some of the bands signed to the label include Cave In, Xasthur, Kayo Dot, Boris, and Jesu.

[6] In a 2018 interview, Turner expressed disinterest in doing Hydra Head as a full-time label again, saying that "...it would mean me stopping a lot of other things that I’m currently doing, and I don’t want to do that.

Several artists such as Cave In, Discordance Axis and Botch signed with other record labels such as Relapse, Willowtip and Sargent House, respectively, to help reissue their back catalogs.

[9][10][11] A press release on Botch's signing with Sargent House stated that Hydra Head folded in 2020.
