There has been a lot of talk about Labels these days,
some Rip offs, some turned extremely commercial, some are fags or money worshippers and few ones are still reliable and truly supporting the scene...
so what do you think of? Red stream, full moon, Barbarian wrath, Elegy, Soulseller, Total holocaust, MFH, Drakkar etc,etc,etc ... and all these names that are around these days...
Be honest, not ass licking nor cult showing hehe


Damn anyone likes EFFES BEER it is a twist heh Cheers .

I don't want to be scene with anyone.

well ill let you have it!

And dont consider this an asslicking or whatever thing... i was bored therefore the answer

RedStream, best label i have worked with, a very honest and straight to the point dude, released our debut album

Fullmoon has in my eyes one good release (mysticum) seem to have some what a ripoff stamp... but in the long run jon seems to make right for himself (!?)

Barbarian wrath, the goat guy is a serious person, say what you want about his releases but i respect him for doing his things.. very reliable

Elegy, dont know much anbout this label

Soulseller, two words. Lazy fuck. Will this repugnant record ever see the light of day?

Total holocaust, i like this label, very fast and very reliable one of the few in sweden that actually does what he says he should

Drakkar. slow bastard and the founder has a very homoerotic band...

really close opinions but I just would like to add that drakkar are not awful but they could be a lot better if they weren't a bit lazy and creating excuses everynow and then as I heard from many but never dealt withthe guy.

About Barbarian wrath, i think he is one of the best around as a label and a studio.

Celestiahahahaha...

hehe I never heard the band, are they THAT bad hehehe

And it starts again.... blah blah celestia gay blah blah celestia shit blah blah :rolleyes:

well they aren't that bad... it's just that (some) people don't like their image.... isn't it ;) ?

About CELESTIA, I found it ridiculous since the first time I heard them, and this was not a question of image.

I don't see what's wrong with Celestia, the only thing that's bad about the band is that the vocals aren't that good...

I'm guessing you haven't seen them permorming live...
Although the stage act IS disturbing, I like the music.

I don't want to be an asshole..but this tread is about labels ..right?

That IS right!

Forever Plagued Records is fine for Americans I guess, prices are fair but shipment gets expensive when you live in Europe. The guy from what I know and heard is very reliable.

www.thr.cjb.net
fast, reliable and freindly. suffers from hight postage rated in sweden, but atleast i knows that my stuff will be here, and well packed also.

besides that, he's the most active label that exist.


the only place i orders from besides www.ancientdarkness.dk

besides that, he's the most active label that exist./QUOTE]
That isn't always a good thing (see: Sombre)...
But yes, THR/Hakan is reliable and fast...

Nice publicity for your band

Red Stream: generic selection, no releases that interest me. Ordered from them once in 2000, no problems.

Full Moon: generic selection, almost no releases that interest me ( the Celestia CD was great, though ). Ordered from them twice, around 1998/1999, no problems.

Barbarian Wrath: never ordered from them, never will.

Elegy: the label that released the new Thor's Hammer album, right? Otherwise, totally unfamiliar with them.

Total Holocaust: have not ordered from them, they do have good releases ( especially the Ornaments of Sin MCD ) and a very good selection though.

MFH: totally unfamiliar with them.

Drakkar: have not ordered from them yet, a few good releases and very good selection.

Non-black metal band? Non-black metal band? What, do they not have enough buzzing minor-key guitars and blast beats and high-pitched screaming to qualify as "black metal"?

Are you trying to say that BM is only a music and that only musical caraterictics makes a band a BM band ?

French one.

Yep, it's the french Pogrom.
For a CD and tape version of the album.

Black metal isn't happy music and they make me happy thus making them a non-black metal band.

I think the thread is about Labels and the Celestia debate has been running long enough.

Listen once, if you like, then listen...

If you dislike, useless to speak about it.

Make distinction between a band / a person / A label.

Seing Celestia live was some sort of strange experiment and tend to appear as "a joke" cause of the huge difference between the speech/ the music/ the visual.

So nothing to say about it.

About labels, try them, keep in memory who's ripping you and who don't.

I'm not doing any advice or any sort of order, just try your way to judge what is a reliable label.

Ripoff labels
Into the pentagram records from sweden
Painkiller records from belgium
Plaguelord distro from brazil

Good labels
END ALL LIFE PROD
NORMA EVANGELIUM DIABOLI
NORTHERN HERITAGE
DRAKKAR PROD
SELBSTMORD SERVICES
SOMBRE REC (some of his releases)

Originally posted by Ivehets

How can a label be reliable on "some of its releases" ? Anyway, Sombre is dead so...

Myself, I fully support :

End All Life (eal@wanadoo.fr)
Norma Evangelicum Diaboli (www.noevdia.com )
Battlesk' rs (http://www.battleskrs.com/)
Left Hand Path (http://www.evilness.com/lefthandpath)
Ordealis (http://www.ordealis.com/)
Paleur Mortelle Prod (http://pmp.christcrusher.com/)
Spikekult (http://members.aol.com/spk666/) .

All of them are serious and involved persons I've dealt with.

hey, about left hand path, are they still alive? i tried to reach them (via mail) but no reply from their side....

what are you familiar with if you are not familiar with those since I am not asking JUST ABOUT THOSE but I mentioned them to name a few,

SO?

Northern Heritage-fast and reliable.

Forever Plagued rec. -very good prices and fast as fuck.

BW very fast and prices are also good,not to mention great releases of Megiddo and Countess.

AJNA -great selections and great opportunity to lay hands on Satanic Art!

Orthodox Prod. fast and great bands.

Drakkar Rec. - lots of good releases but they slow,a little.

WHR - is dead now, but it was a label that carried lots of obscure releases on american continent ,name Old Wainds ,Moonblood, Mutiilation etc.

MFH - ordered a couple times, but it's down temporarily,also they were carriers of many hard to find releases

these are labels which i fully respect and order from, very likely i put in future list of some that do not deserve a such respect/

Hmmm, have you ever had personal experience of dealing with this label, or you've just liked the label name (hope not) / bands being released on it? I don't remember that I've sent many direct orders abroad - mostly trading packages for the labels... Maybe you'll open your identity & PM me... Jut curious who you are...

Hey Greg,
I never knew the label before I saw their name here so I am asking of a site, Anyway It is my mistake that I didn't quote but copied/pasted the lines of Salot S.

Which are
Northern Heritage-fast and reliable.

Okay, I understand now. Some of my favorites

Ancient Nation (http://www.thepaganfront.com/anp/main.htm) - They have released a few great tapes (such as the Lutomysl and both Astrofaes ), have good prices and an interesting selection. The site design is also very good, with cover scans and tracklists for most of the recordings they sell.

Autistiartili (http://autistiartili.cjb.net/) - Not much as far as good releases ( and most of them are CD versions of old tapes ) but very good as a distro. Tape prices are fine, CD prices are slightly high ( though consistent ) and I recieve my orders quickly.

Blutreinheit/Eastern Hate (http://www.capricornus.info/EH/catalogue.htm) - Some good releases ( even if most are really rereleases ), low prices and I receive my orders very quickly.

Old Legend (http://www.oldlegend.com/) - Similar to the above ( decent releases, fast shipping ), though the prices are fairly high.

I have also had good results ordering from Spread Evil and Supreme Art, though their selections are not really the most interesting right now.

Forever Plagued is good.

Jersey Devil Distro has a good reputation.

Red Stream is good but most good black metal etc... goes out of stock fast.

Relapse....it's complicated relapse sometimes receives shipments of hard to find black metal yet there are people that call them up and buy it out of stock daily.

Vinland Winds very reliable.

Has anyone ever ordered from evilmusic.com? And if so, are they any good?

I will for myself recommend :

Total Holocaust Records - Excellent releases and very fast shipping.

I hope that Sites will be mentioned near the label's name
since there are some that I never checked before.
Thank you

Hopefully you are not referring to my post; if so, you can click on the name of a label to connect to the site.

Did I say I hated that label, or did I say I would never order from it? BW specializes in a style I dislike, therefore I am not interested in their releases or the other albums they have for sale.

Works now.

test :D

For the list of good and reliable labels i will throw in the fallowing:
Demonion prod.
Heidens Hart
Bang Or Be Banged prod.
Blazing prod.
