I would add these labels too:
ReplyDeletehttp://initrecords.bandcamp.com/ - Init Records
http://throatruinerrecords.bandcamp.com/ - Throat Ruiner Records
Throatruiner is added. Is there a few albums you can recommend from Init?
DeleteWolvhammer would be a good one to start with - that's how I found Init anyways - On the catalogue would be their first full length.
DeleteHydrahead made it on to Bandcamp!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, I will check them out.
DeleteHey, just wanted to let you know -- I recently learned that the Russian doom metal label group Solitude Productions (which also includes Bad Mood Man Music and Slow Burn Records) are in the process of making their entire back-catalogue available on Bandcamp. They said they recognize that most people want to be able to hear something before they will buy it, so the ability to download the music might encourage more people to buy albums. Also it keeps people from having to patronize those sketchy pirate download sites. Check it out here: http://solitudeproductions.bandcamp.com
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks. I will check them out. So many labels, so little time :)
Deleteanother label worth checking out perhaps.
ReplyDeletepest productions / http://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/
They're on the list, thanks for reminding me.
DeleteHere's a few more to checkout:
ReplyDeleteGood To Die Records (http://goodtodierecords.bandcamp.com/)
To Live A Lie Records (http://tolivealie.bandcamp.com/)
Vitriol Records (http://vitriolrecords.bandcamp.com/)
Baconsmash Records (http://baconsmash.bandcamp.com/)
Keep up the good work! :)
Damn, does it never end? :)
DeleteThanks for the Bandcamp links and the nice words.
I probably wont add any of these, they don't really qualify as metal labels in my opinion.
DeleteSo, I added Vitriol Records after all. Graf Orlock are great.
DeleteFunny you should say that, Graf Orlock's how I found the label - their Los Angeles EP is one of my favourite releases of the year. Good To Die Records has the latest Rabbits release (their previous being on Relapse), and Brass Tactics by Dog Shredder (which is completely off the wall). To Live A Lie Records has several Magrudergrind releases, which is how I came across them. Are they all metal? Hmmm, maybe not. There are so many sub-genres nowadays, I don't know what people are calling metal anymore. All I know is: if my wife hates it, it's metal enough for me :)
DeleteRemoved Vitriol again. I like the Graf Orlock album, but it isn't really a metal label.
DeleteRemoved Heavy Artillery Records as they were acquired by Earache (news from Blabbermouth) who subsequently killed the Heavy Artillery Bandcamp.
ReplyDelete51 labels listed.
It's sad but for some reason Gliead Media releases are now streaming only :(
ReplyDeleteRemoved Gilead Media because all of their releases are now streaming-only. 50 labels listed.
