08.04.23 | Where do you shop, Sput? I wanna know. | Deez
08.04.23 | New Sleepwalker on Sentient ruin brah like 10 mins ago. Bought a shirt and the wax. LFG
| Dewinged
08.04.23 | One of my favorite labels recently, but I have just got into their stuff in the last couple of years. Never heard Sleepwalker so it seems I have homework to do. | Deez
08.04.23 | Theyre wild man, The avant garde black metal is thrown out too easily but they definitely that. SR have a high rate of great stuff. Flatspot got a lot of decent HxC stuff. Consouling sounds in Belgium I love a lot of stuff and all the above are mainly fire too | Muzz79
08.04.23 | I seem to buy a lot from Napalm Records. And Non Serviam Records and I, Voidhanger | BAT
08.04.23 | unique leader & willowtip. rip hydrahead, and haven't gotten anything off robotic empire in a minute but they were solid in the late 00s. if your into myspace era death/mathcore waxvessel reissues a lot of greats but almost impossible to get your hands on, as far as bandcamp releases go theyre worth a look | calmrose
08.04.23 | cool list idea
some that come to mind are:
-Thrill Jockey
-Deathwish, Inc.
-Drag City
-Warp Records
-Kompakt
-Kranky
-Solid State Records
-The Flenser
-Relapse Records | Azazzel
08.04.23 | this label has some cool VA tribute album comps. look at the stacked roster of modern artist on this Soundgarden 'Superunknown' Redux https://reduxrecords.bandcamp.com/album/superunknown-redux
Uffomammut, Marissa Nadler, Somnuri, Witch Mountain, Dozer, Darkher
ye neat find today, Jimi Hendrix one has some stoners like Wo Fat covering Machine Gun
Found some good stuff on this underground label from Ireland
https://sarlaccproductions.bandcamp.com/
Madrid, Spain is serving up some gnarly Death and D/Doom. That KÖRGULL goes hard and new york Sorrow putting out a 30 year follow up to their D/Doom debut, singles sound great
https://xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com/ | Dewinged
08.04.23 | oh shit forgot about The Flenser, Willowtip, Non Serviam, Kranky and Thrill Jockey, tx people. Didn't include Napalm, Century Media or Relapse cause they are well known, but let's get them up there too so we got it ALL.
@Deez not so much into HxC but Consouling Sounds looks good, gonna peruse.
RIP Hydrahead indeed. | Dewinged
08.04.23 | Yeah Azazzel, that tribute is freaking awesome, got to know it through the Darkher cover which is mindblowing. Oh I know Xtreem Music, forgot about them. Gonna check the rest, cheers! | TheNotrap
08.04.23 | When it comes to promoting their artists, Season of Mist and Transcending Obscurity are among the best. Nice idea for a list ;) | Dewinged
08.04.23 | Honestly surprised no one had done it yet at least recently, but yeah gotta give the labels some love too. | SomeCallMeTim
08.04.23 | hmm, matador? | Azazzel
08.04.23 | From #1 I dig that JPN Sleepwalkers 'Skopofoboexoskelett' def check if you're into Sigh or exp metal like the new Fleshvessel
https://sentientruin.bandcamp.com/album/skopofoboexoskelett
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6QYEr6czrI
got another label for new underground Death Metal
check the Hallucinate record 'From the Bowels of the Earth' for death-doom ala Morbus Chron (guest vox appearance in fact)
https://caligarirecords.bandcamp.com/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAQEOVDAas
good pic on the Sarlaac label with Scarlet Varlet - members of Summerlands, Atlantean Kodex, Magic Circle sounds is a winning recipe
on Sarlaac I like their rerelease production on 'Will Of The Gods Is Great Power' by Scald classic epic doom viking record BathoryxCandlemass
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Scald/10645/ | RogueNine
08.04.23 | Shoutout to Small Stone Records. | Grimlin
08.05.23 | I probably buy more from Hells Headbangers than anywhere, but I try to spread the love as much as possible. Nuclear War Now is another frequented label/distro, though, their prices/shipping have gone up a bit in the past couple years. | Dewinged
08.07.23 | Updated with your suggestions, thanks everyone. Also adding every label's roster (just 3 bands tops) cause that gives a better idea whate they work with I think. | Deez
08.07.23 | 'From #1 I dig that JPN Sleepwalkers'
2nd and 3rd fking comment
NOTICE US
| Dewinged
08.07.23 | haha, I see and I hear you boys | Azazzel
08.19.23 | gotta get Pest Productions added on here. putting out those big hit Chinese metal releases like Hoplites and Vengeful Spectre.
https://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/ | VlacDrac
09.07.23 | I mostly shop online nowadays. Record shops usually charge an eye for new releases when I can get records for a decent price online, even taking into consideration the shipping rates, I still prefer to buy my records online. | VlacDrac
09.07.23 | 52 is a fucking legendary record label. Yosuke Konishi is one of the most hard working and passionate metalheads in the record label business. Not only does he care about contemporary Metal bands but also, has released some great albums by obscure and forgotten Metal acts from the past. Furthermore, he has also organized some amazing festivals. |
