Best Record Label for Metal

[cookiecutter]

What do you guys think is the best record label for metal?

My money's on Relapse because they have so many good bands such as Suffocation, Dying Fetus, and Nile. Second would probably by Nuclear Blast, and third would be Metal Blade.

Barbarian Wrath, Witches Brew, Iron Pegasus, Battle Cry, Cyclone Empire is coming along nicely, Sentinel Steel, Iron Glory, I Hate, Rise Above, etc.

No. Releasing Agalloch doesn't make you an awesome label. You need more than one band.

 

[Mort Divine]

They much more than Agalloch.

Age of Silence
Epoch of Unlight
Frantic Bleep
Lilitu
Novembers Doom
Scholomance
Sculptured
Sigh
Subterranean Masquerade
uneXpect
Virgin Black
Voivod
Winds (Nor)

Most of that is crap.

 

[Mort Divine]

Not my fault I like artsy shit.

 

[skeptik]

Who's to blame then?

 

[Mort Divine]

You.

Willowtip and Supernal Records are also two very good labels.

 

[skeptik]

If I create you, then I can destroy you.

 

[Mort Divine]

Have fun destroying me.

First band that came to my mind for mentioning Metal Blade, was Omen, although Metal Blade's triumphs were many many more.

I like Roadrunner back in the days of lotz of death metal bands. Some of the bands they've held onto (such as Deicide and Slipknot) are realy good. Roadrunner are definitly not the best though. I don't know many of the record labels personally, I just know the bands.
