Bio

For over 25 years Metal Blade Records has been setting the trend in heavy metal music without compromising it’s underground beginnings. Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records have without a doubt had a major role in developing the American metal scene since day one and remains one of the most essential sources of metal music today. Since it’s beginnings in 1982, Metal Blade Records has unleashed some of the most influential and significant metal acts like Slayer, Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, GWAR, Six Feet Under, Amon Amarth and King Diamond while developing new acts like As I Lay Dying, The Red Chord, Unearth, The Black Dahlia Murder, Goatwhore, Into The Moat, Cellador, Job for a Cowboy, Evergreen Terrace, 3 and Brain Drill just to name a few. There are few who can argue that Metal Blade is one of the leading independent metal labels around! Constantly growing and expanding, recently opening up Metal Blade Records Japan and the already significant Metal Blade Records Germany, and adding some of the best bands out there to it’s roster, it is obvious that Metal Blade Records is here to stay!
