[V.V.V.V.V.]

Sevared is up there, yeah.

 

[Killbot]

Rise Above Records and Grindethic put some pretty good stuff out.

 

[AchrisK]

Should have been on there:

NOISE
Willowtip
Galy


and looking over the history of metal, I would probably pick:

Noise
Megaforce
Metal Blade
Roadrunner

Cuz THRASH!!!!

 

[Faith148]

I like Nuclear Blast.

 

[Faith148]

But lately I've been checking out some stuff at KillZone Records too.

 

[Hypnos]

Peaceville and Prophecy for me. Metal Blade has Primordial, so they are also on top. Misanthropy was a damn fine label too

 

[Satanstoenail]

Should have been on there:

NOISE

Noise released some great albums, but they treated their bands like shit. Coroner basically broke up due to Noise's mismanagement and lack of marketing skills.

Taking the history of the labels into consideration, Metal Blade easily wins.

 

[Alter]

Taking the history of the labels into consideration, Metal Blade easily wins.

Yea, but now ehh...terrible label.

 

[Vitor]

yep. they have a gothic band called Decoryah.



and roadrunner was a great label too.

 

[skeptik]

Who gives a shit about now? The albums they released in the 80s still exist.

 

[Catastrophic]

Currently it's Relapse but during those days it was Earache.

well, it's true, but you must consider that they don't have good bands today. and it counts

 

[skeptik]

Would you rather listen to 80s Metal Blade records or whatever is out now?

ok. but the bad bands there make the diference when someone will judge the label
