JUST IN CASE YOU WONDER WHO THE FUCK WE ARE...
The "Molten Metal Productions" project starts in the early eighties around the fanzine
"Molten
Metal" (7 issues in 2 and a half years) and the "Molten Metal Radio Show", on air for 2 years in the
same period. "Molten Metal Productions" was the branch that did a small mail order to try to
distribute material of almost obscure bands, the first that comes to mind is NY's own Black Virgin,
for which we did also the fan club for a while (Bloodbrothers).
The magazine focused on Thrash Metal, HC, Crossover, Doom. We've been the first in Italy to
review the debut album by the mighty Saint Vitus, and we're proud of it, probably because
we've
been one of the few metal magazines in Europe to be on the SST mailing list at the
time...
Along with the international underground scene, we’ve always featured a lot of Italian bands on the
magazine, not just the “big†names like Strana Officina, Vanadium, Vanexa, Death SS, Steel
Crown, but also a lot of others like, to name a few, Shining Blade, Airspeed,
Raff, Sinners, Sabotage, Rollerblade. And because we were a Metal-HC fanzine hailing from
Florence, we’ve
often featured bands from the mighty Granducato HardCore scene, and a lot of Italian HC bands in
general, Raw Power, Indigesti, Negazione, et al. This was, and still is
today, our attitude towards
the music scene.
The whole experience ended up in the late eighties, when the staff moved to London, tired of Italy's
music scene (not talking about the bands... we're talking about the media and the record
industry).
In the mid nineties we're back in Italy after various experiences in England, and
"Molten Metal Productions" became a real label, as a branch of the Abraxas Records Group. A list of the albums
we've released at the time includes Tossic's Stato Brado, the debut albums of Abnegate and
Nosferatu, few European releases of Brazilian bands like Genocidio,
Pentacrostic, Golem,
Nauseous Surgery, FDS, and the great Sweden’s own Hypocrite debut album featuring LG
(Entombed) as guest vocals on two tracks.
As Thrash Metal answer to the “I’m now going mainstream†Sub Pop singles club, we started the
“Molten Metal Death Clubâ€, a 7" singles club with releases, amongst others, by Electrocution and
Hypocrite.
We called it a day again when we get involved in a new metal label, still part of the Abraxas
Records Group, called Earmark. On this label we've released, in joint venture with the Sanctuary
Records Group, vinyl reissues of original albums by Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep,
Motorhead, Girlschool, Angel Witch, Diamond Head, Raven, Venom, Girl,
Samson, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, MC5, GBH, Discharge,
Kreator, Celtic Frost, Voivod, to name a few.
But at the end of 2007 we felt it was time to re-launch the Molten Metal Productions project
again.
We relocate the label to London, open up a label management office that takes care of production,
distribution, publishing; we signed a deal with Larione 10, one of the best recording studios
around,
now part of the M.M.P. project, and... THE CANNONS OF DESTRUCTIONS HAVE BEGUN!!! On
the back you’ll find our tentative release schedule for the months to come, and these are just the
things we've signed so far. More cool new bands and a massive amount of great vinyl reissues are
on their way... stay tuned and BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR STREET TEAM TODAY!!!
