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."

STARTING OUT IN ’07 DR. LIVING DEAD! TURNED INTO SKULL-MASK AND BANDANA WEARING THRASH MONSTERS OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DEMOS - “THRASH AFTER DEATH” (2007), “THRASHING THE LAW” (2008) – AND THE MUCH-LAUDED ALBUMS “DR. LIVING DEAD!” (2011) AND “RADIOACTIVE INTERVENTION” (2012). THE LATTER EVEN SCORED ALBUM OF THE MONTH IN GERMANY’S METAL HAMMER AND THOUGH THRASH IS A GENRE CROWDED WITH NEW ACTS, THE DOC’S APPROACH AND ESPECIALLY VISUAL IMPACT QUICKLY MADE THEM ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED NEWER ACTS WITHIN THE GENRE.

WHILE LOOKING LIKE THE UNDEAD VERSION OF SUICIDAL TENDENCIES AND NEW SINGER DR. MANIA’S MELODIC VOCALS RESEMBLING MIKE MUIR AS WELL, THE “BIG FOUR” ARE PROBABLY TO BLAME FOR THE DOC’S MUSICAL FUNDAMENT OF DIVERSE RIFFS, SMART GUITAR LEADS AND HIGHLY DYNAMIC ARRANGEMENTS. ADD TO THAT, LYRICAL AND CONCEPTUAL REFERENCES TO 80’S HORROR/SCI-FI FLICKS, THE DOC ARE IN FACT A PERFECT VINTAGE SKATEBOARDING SOUNDTRACK AND FIND MASSIVE SUPPORT ALSO BEYOND GENRE FREAKS. ALWAYS WORKING BY THE SONIC FORMULA THAT AGGRESSION DOES NOT NEED TO RULE OUT MELODY OR SURPRISING INSTRUMENTAL TWISTS AND TURNS, EXCEPT FOR BALLADS, “CRUSH THE SUBLIME GODS”, DR. LIVING DEAD!’S DEBUT FOR CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS OFFERS A WIDE ARRAY OF MID-TEMPO STOMPERS (“ANOTHER LIFE”, “FORCE FED”), SLAYERIZED FAST TRACKS (“CIVILIZED TO DEATH”, “SCANNERS”) GROOVING, MELODIC NUMBERS (“NO WAY OUT”) AND MOUNTS IN THE 6MIN LONG CLOSING EPOS “WAKE UP…JOIN THE DEAD” THAT UNITES ALL ELEMENTS OF THEIR MULTI-FACETED SOUND.

RECORDED AT SOUNDLAB STUDIOS IN ÖREBRO, SWEDEN IN SEPTEMBER 2014 AND FEATURING FORMER VOCALIST DR. APE’S TRADEMARK ARTWORK, THE BAND IS CONFIDENTLY PROMISING ITS FINEST HOUR TO DATE: “ON THE FIRST ALBUMS WE WERE STILL SOMEWHAT SEARCHING; THE NEW ALBUM HAS A MORE REFINED SENSE OF DIRECTION AND SHOWS A DEFINITIVE STYLE FOR THE DOC. THE SONGWRITING HAS BEEN COLLABORATIVE AND OUR NEW MEMBERS MANIA AND SLAM GEL PERFECTLY WITH TOXIC’S AND RAD’S PATENTED RIFF-FESTS. THE NEW ALBUM WAS INSPIRED BY ALL OF OUR EXPERIENCES TOGETHER DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS AND IT DEFINITELY PAYS OFF.” 

RENOWNED AS AN ENERGETIC LIVE BAND, DR. LIVING DEAD! ALREADY WREAKED HAVOC UPON FESTIVALS LIKE WACKEN, HELLFEST, TUSKA, SUMMER BREEZE, BRUTAL ASSAULT, ROCK HARD ETC., SUPPORTED SUICIDAL TENDENCIES AND SLAYER IN SWEDEN, TOURED BRAZIL AND LEFT AUDIENCES SWEATY, HAPPY AND OVERWHELMED BY A SUDDEN LOVE OF SKULLS.
