Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”

Criada em Ribeirão Preto, interior de SP, a banda Mano Pinga e seus Comparsas surge em 2006 como uma tentativa frustrada de criar um tributo à banda Camisa de Vênus. A primeira formação do projeto Mano Pinga e seus Comparsas era: Mano Pinga (v), Mano Pênis (bx), Zoyo (g) e Che (bt). Em pouco tempo, as letras do poeteiro, Mano Pinga, começaram a se tornar o principal foco da banda por serem bem-humoradas e por causarem um estranho sentimento de identificação com as histórias retratadas, pois, se você nunca viveu algum fato parecido, é porque não teve vida, até agora.

As músicas tratam de histórias reais, repletas de Sexo, Drogas e Rock and Roll, narradas pela visão do principal experimentador e causador dessas histórias, o Mano Pinga. Com ajuda de outros tantos colaboradores, as músicas foram se tornando cada vez mais necessárias nos desfechos boêmios que, pela falta do que fazer e com a cabeça cheia de álcool, sempre contavam com um violão e o tocador.

No final deste ano, a banda entra em estúdio pra registrar uma prévia do que viria pela frente, a primeira gravação do "Se ela desce mais uma...", feita ao vivo, sem cortes, sem correções, sem produção e definindo música por música ali naquele instante.

Esta foi a alavanca que fez a banda acreditar que valia alguma coisa e tinha algo a passar, principalmente ao ver que o público, cada vez maior, já cantava algumas músicas, procurava o disco e freqüentava aos shows, muitas vezes por curiosidade sobre o que viriam a presenciar.

Em 2007 a banda passa a tocar em vários eventos, como abertura para o Garotos Podres, Baú Rock Fest e Baú Rockaipira, e sendo convidada para um em especial, o Arena Rock 2007 de Ribeirão Preto. A partir disso, sentia-se a necessidade de regravar o primeiro disco, com mais seriedade, mais qualidade e maior comprometimento.

No final de 2007, a banda entra em estúdio mais uma vez, dessa vez pra valer, e sai de lá com o "Se ela desce mais uma..." totalmente reformulado. Houve a necessidade de trabalhar mais os arranjos e solos, fechar algumas músicas, programar vocais, assim como aumentar o repertório com novas músicas.

O "Se ela desce...", versão 2007, sai no começo de 2008 e é automaticamente enviado para todo o Brasil. Cidades de MG, BA, ES, DF, PI, PR, SP, PB, etc. passaram a escutar a banda e "espalhar a doença". Segundo notícias, até em Portugal tem pessoas se deleitando ao som da banda que, até então, não tinha pretensões tão altas assim.

Para fazer jus ao disco, surge a necessidade de mais um guitarrista, e mais que prontamente, aparece o Lemão, ou Galego, ou Arrombador, para se juntar aos antigos Comparsas. Com isso armou-se a arapuca, o processo de composições e arranjos aumentou significativamente e a banda sai pra tocar de novo.

Mano Pinga e seus Comparsas recebe novamente o convite para participar do Arena Rock 2008, para fazer abertura da banda Baranga, assim como para um maior número de eventos e shows, e a banda começa a atravessar fronteiras municipais, levando Rock, cachaça e putaria para cidades menos favorecidas de escrachos e desgracências.

Em 2009, a banda toca no maior evento underground do interior paulista, o IV Arraial do Rock em Franca. E, juntamente com outras tantas e ótimas bandas, leva Rock and Roll de verdade pra quem realmente quer ouvir.

A banda está em estúdio preparando novas músicas sempre fazendo seu papel para divulgar o Rock and Roll de verdade, sem frescura, sem censura e sem enganação.
