Always at the forefront with an active role in emerging stylistic nuances Century Media has truly shattered the barriers and exemplified diversity in extremes while remaining rooted in the underground but giving bands opportunities outside of the normal means with major league international touring, commercial radio play, and music placement in high-profile films, TV and commercials. Despite all of the years and breakthroughs the company maintains their organic, family feel and business is still being conducted by fans of the music for fans of the music.

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."

COPE 10TH ANNIVERSARY 
LIVE AT THE EARL 
THE ALBUM AND THE FILM OUT NOW

Midnight Convoy are a 3 piece alternative rock band from Birmingham, UK. It has been suggested that our sound is similar to other UK rock bands such as Hundred Reasons, Reuben and InMe.

The band, which formed in 2013, have currently self released 2 E.P's. The most recent EP 'Destroy The Silence' was recorded in 2014 and has been played on BBC Introducing West Midlands.

The band give a hard hitting and energetic live performance at every gig. This was recently reflected in a review from Maximum Volume Music.

Midnight Convoy @The Flapper (Birmingham) 28/10/14

"Three piece bands: how do you do it? Over the years we’ve seen enough of them to know first, that largely they are ace – Motörhead, ZZ Top and Rush, any arguments? – but also they always sound so big. Midnight Convoy are another who are somehow bigger than the sum of their parts. The trio play loud and when bass player Chris adds extra percussion, it gives things an almost tribal feel. New single “Dead Or Alive” is reminiscent of Biffy Clyro at their heaviest, as singer Dom adds slabs of angular guitar to the mix. Sounding just the right side of modern not to be achingly hip, the effect is not dissimilar at times to “Polythene” era Feeder (another three piece if memory serves) although a new song is played that takes things in a heavier direction. By the time they end with “Voices” and Jack beats the crap out of his drum kit one last time – with added bonus points for cowbell usage – it’s absolutely clear that Midnight Convoy are yet another group that is impressing in the burgeoning Midlands scene."

Since the band have started, we have been chosen to support well known bands such as I Am Giant, Rival State and Centiment (members from Inme).
