Over fifteen years ago, a story of success began in the Austrian town of Eisenerz. What started out as a one-person operation in a cramped living-room, became one of the biggest record labels of the independent scene. Fans of the heavier genres have long come to know Napalm Records for its numerous metal releases, many of which have reached cult status.

In the beginning, Napalm Records focused mainly on the black metal releases of bands like ABIGOR and SUMMONING. Although both managed to create a style all of their own, SUMMONING in particular was most successful in taking their unique atmospheric style way past the European borders to reach an unbelievable level of notoriety on an international level.

But Napalm Records didn't stop there. Never shying away from unexplored paths of innovative musical styles and genres, the label supported artists that would later become known as the legendary pioneers and originators of the Pagan/Folk Metal genres, including the revered VINTERSORG and FALKENBACH.

Over the course of the years, Napalm Records searched for new talent and expanded its roster considerably by adding doom, power, symphonic and gothic metal to their ever-growing list. Within the gothic metal genre, THE SINS OF THY BELOVED, SIRENIA, and TRISTANIA were able to create quite a stir and successfully establish themselves among the best. In recent years, LEAVES' EYES, ELIS, MIDNATTSOL, KATRA, and EDENBRIDGE have also managed to join this illustrious group. With these releases, Napalm Records was able to widen its audience and soon felt encouraged to expand the variety of bands it would support.

Yet Napalm Records' folk metal focal point never strayed and the label continued helping bands like KORPIKLAANI, GLITTERTIND, TÝR, and ALESTORM achieve international notoriety.

The medieval rockers SALTATIO MORTIS, the "rock 'n' sad" initiators LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE, and scene icons ATROCITY, GRAVE DIGGER, and LEAVES' EYES helped Napalm Records become a household name among mainstream audiences by entering the charts repeatedly. With SALTATIO MORTIS, Napalm Records achieved the highest chart entry to date. "Wer Wind Saet" entered the German Media Control charts at number 10.

More recently, Napalm Records has embraced the rock and stoner rock scene with big-name signings such as MONSTER MAGNET, KARMA TO BURN, and BRANT BJÖRK.

One of the latest bands to join the Austrian label’s roster of celebrated artists is the US formation SEVENTH VOID, which boasts of two former members of the legendary TYPE O NEGATIVE, very keen on keeping their legacy alive. More recent signings include THE SORROW, LONELY KAMEL, HUNTRESS, and the doom legend CANDLEMASS.

However, Napalm Records does not only limit its operation to the support and development of new talent or the release of its artists' recordings. The label's own mail order service has been providing satisfied customers with the fastest delivery, unbeatable prices, and a top-notch service for many years. Over 15,000 items (CDs, vinyl, merchandise, etc.) are waiting to be discovered both in the biannually published print catalog and in the well organized, easy-access online store.

The Napalm Records Handels GmbH headquarters and center of operations, including the aforementioned mail order service, are located in Eisenerz, Austria and currently employ 13 people. A second office located in Austin, Texas, employs 3 people, while a third employee works for the label from Canada. Napalm Records also enjoys a close working relationship with an extensive worldwide network of A&R consultants and local promoters.

Last but not least, Napalm Records also boasts of its own publishing house. Over the years, IRON AVANTGARDE PUBLISHING has handled the rights to innumerable works from the most diverse of authors.

From the ashes of a future apocalypse, Postmodern Heroes was founded by a former member of onetime Capitol Records artist Second Coming. "This is the dream band I have always wished for" says Travis "T-LUX" Bracht. "I really wanted a vehicle where I can infuse the sexy stylings of Bowie with the explosiveness of Ian Astbury. Sprinkled throughout an Electro / Lux und...erlay and I present to you PP...ostmodern Heroes. Stylish insanity." If you've never seen this band play live yet - you are missing one of the most explosive live acts in the Seattle region, if not the world, today. Polished, professional, visually and musically stunning is what you will encounter. Rounded out by Robot's (Omnivoid) insane in your face bass and Maxi (Second Coming) doing his part to damage your soul with guitars and sounds like only the Gladiatvm knows how. Prepare to get your eardrums and eye balls pleasurably popped! Local & National concert photographer "Iron" Mike Savoia is 150% behind PMH: "Bands like this only come by a couple times in your whole lifetime. I've been in the Seattle scene for well over 25 years and there has never been a band like Postmodern Heroes. If this band doesn't physically move you in some way... count yourself clinically DEAD!" Time to strap the boots on cause a new breed of music is ready to explode out of Seattle to the world and it's two simple words: Postmodern Heroes!

I'm an eclectic singer-songwriter and producer who thrives on breaking genre boundaries. I've had a dynamic journey, starting with my time as a touring musician with the Geffen-signed group "Depswa," followed by projects like "Thin Black Line" and "Double Barrel Boys." Along the way, I've made guest appearances and produced music for various artists, contributing to albums like "Krazy Bone-Gemini," "Moonshine Bandits-Calicountry," and "Struggle Jennings-The Widows Son." Now, I'm embarking on a solo venture, ready to release my debut solo record.
