Analog Freaks Records!

We are Analog Freaks Records – survivors of the digital age. We love cracking of the vinyl and buzzing of the tapes. We decided to go against the stream of just downloading music from the Internet. Therefore, we joined the army of labels preserving these classic analogue formats, because we think they are essential for the d.i.y. underground. We strongly believe in d.i.y. spirit and this policy is also reflected in the package of our releases. We try to dedicate most of our time and effort until they look perfect, but still have a personal imprint to it. We are analog freaks. Take it or leave it!

Misanthropic Ignorance!

Misanthropic Ignorance was started primarily to release my own band's releases along with my friends projects. The label has been primarily used to for grindcore, goregrind, noisecore, harsh noise, dark ambient, and black metal projects. At this point the releasing has halted for the most part but will continue to release works from time to time. The store includes distro items, label releases, and personal collection items. (The label is ran by Kyle from Couple Skate)

Next release is that of a live PIZZAHIFIVE tape including a soundboard recording from their set at the Agathocles show in Cleveland 2016. This will be coreleased between MI, Feel Good Grind, and Haunted Hotel.

Backwoods Butcher Records!

Backwoods Butcher Records isn't a real record label; it's just a name made up to put over the address on my own bands' releases. After many years of putting out records on other people's labels, I figured it was time to go back to the true DIY ways and waste my own money putting out my own records again. I don't sign bands, don't have a distro, don't waste money buying ads in stupid heavy metal magazines and don't do the greasy used car salesman routine on social media. Zero aspirations to do anything other than release my own music.What's more fun than that? Check it out or fuck off. Thanks!

Spela Snabbare Records!

SSR started from being a super small distro in 2012to be a bigger growing distro plus record label autumn 2013. We felt that there was a lack of distros in Sweden that focused on grind and other fast genres. Side note: Spela Snabbare means “Play faster”. Simple as that!

Uterus Productions!

Uterus Productions was founded in September 2014 by Antonio Vitolo and Amos Lachat.
The Idea Of Founding a label came as a result, when both were active together on a contemporary project called „Advanced Xenomorp Uteral Tumour“, and released the first EP „Uteruses Will Be Obliterated“. Also the passion and vast interest in extreme Underground and experimental music pushed the idea further and motivated to make Uterus Productions bigger and a more active Label.
The Sound is not bounded by any certain genres, but of course also keeps up with our musical tastes.
Which can vary from Death Metal, Black Metal, Power Electronics, Crust, Noisecore, Gorenoise, Industrial but keeps a focus on nasty Goregrind and rotten Deatgrind.
Format’s can also diverse from a limited to 15 tapes „xerox-copied cover“ to 500 Vinyl Edition or 1000 CD’s. Sicko Merch and a big selection of Records is also available at their Distro..
You should check and keep yourself posted with this Operating Surgical Gore-Institution..

L'è Tütt Folklor Records!

L’è Tütt Folklor Records is a DIY label founded by Attila and Giulio in 2003 in the Onsernone Valley (Switzerland).
At first it was just a logo and a name on the back covers of the self produced cd-r’s and tapes of Attila’s and Giulio’s first bands. Then, with the inception of Insomnia Isterica, the label started to get more (pro)active. Building connections and trading with friends from other countries was the first stage to get to know how the DIY network operates. Afterwards, LTFR started to launch and join DIY collaborations and coproductions.
L’è Tütt Folklor Records mainly focuses on grindcore but also produces noise, experimental music, some extreme metal and hardcore and whatever Giulio and Attila want to do.
The label is deeply associated with the band Insomnia Isterica and it also produces the fanzine/videozine 1269! Ignoransa Contolata!

Rip Roaring Shit Storm Records came into being after a string of zines/e-zines and playing in bands over the years but wanting to help and contribute more to the extreme community so in 2011 we approached Japanese Grind Legends Bathtub Shitter about working together and since then we have put out 20 releases from awesome bands with lots more to come this year and hopefully for a long time to come.

Blindead Productions!

Blindead Productions is a hardcore punk label from Sweden that has been going under this name since 2002. Before that there was A.L.P. Tapes and Resist the System Records, but after a while I merged the two and also changed the name. A.L.P. Tapes released 10 tapes between 1997 and 2001 and Resist the System Records did 1 7" in 2000, the debut 7" by Swedish råpunk band Crossing Chaos. A couple of tapes/CD-Rs that in reality was A.L.P. releases were also released under the Blindead Productions flag early on.
The whole idea behind the label is the same as for many other labels - release music by good bands and good friends. Quality over quantity. It all started as many other labels have done, and especially in the late 90's, sitting at home copying tapes, cutting and pasting covers, xeroxing these at whatever free/cheap place I could find and then selling/trading/giving these to and with people all around the world. This is where my love for this music really started and I haven't been able to get away from it since then. It has me hooked for life. I'm well aware of the fact that I've released many different styles on the label but I like that, even if I can fully appreciate a label that has a certain style as well. Even if my taste have gone back and forth over the years, as it often does, there's no release I'm not happy with. And in a way things go in circles. Just look at the Sick Terror 7" from 2004 which is a exhibition in noise and chaos and then the Infekzioa 7" from ten years later - also an exhibition in noise and chaos, even if it's not the exact same style.
I'm also very happy to have had the chance to work with several bands for more than one release - that shows that I'm doing at least some things right.
As far as the future of Blindead Productions no one knows. As many labels I'm struggling with the finances and at the moment I don't have any plans. As soon as I can afford it I'll start making plans again, but with no money there are no plans. At least no official ones.

Specializing in whatever, but grindcore is at the forefront of what I have and will be releasing. I will also be publishing comix and artist prints, mostly consisting of people who have provided their work for related bands. ~ Only thing I have released so far is the xABRUPTx / TENCHU split tape and AGITATE / HAGGUS split tape but I have many releases currently in production that should be out within the next few weeks such as ABORTION / SRAM split 7" , STRATEGIC WAR HEADS - (US) WAR HEAD tape which is their debut release, FARTING CORPSE - "POPPERS THE MUSICAL" tape and a mixtape featuring a slew of grind, thrash, black and death metal bands accompanying a rad comic/zine called TOTAL SHIT by Caleb Dickinson. There are more plans/releases on the way I have posted on the label facebook page. ~ Im building a site with a store/mailorder atm and hopefully Ill have it up and running before the rest of the releases come in. You can purchase anything through my facebook page, which has an updated distro. Just message me and Ill get back to you ASAP.
