Melissa Records – Bringing US metal to the world
In our digital age and corporate-controlled society, music has less
and less to do with quality, integrity and longevity. Music in general
has become a commodity, globally traded by conglomerates that create
trends as quickly as they discard them. Heavy metal, that bastard son
of rock ‘n’ roll, proudly resists the here-today-gone-tomorrow
mentality pervading the business. And it shows: while traditional cd
sales over the last few years have been taking a steady dive in almost
every genre, traditional metal remains a stronghold – despite illegal
downloading and copying.
Most labels, however, still prefer to sign acts that fit the
flavour of the week the mainstream media feed the masses. As a result,
too many outstanding bands, especially those from the United States
continuing the tradition of US metal, again fall by the wayside. In
2006, the Dutch label Melissa Records was created with the sole purpose
of releasing the very best that the versatile US underground has to
offer.
A professional independent label run by metalheads for
metalheads, Melissa Records is always searching for talented American
metal bands. So if you think you can contribute something to the metal
scene, don't hesitate to contact us.
Bands are encouraged to send in demos - please note the style indications:
- Power metal
- Progressive metal
- Thrash / Speed
- Heavy metal
