EARACHE RECORDS Celebrating 20th Anniversary

February 7, 2007

You may/may not be aware but 2007 marks Earache Records' 20th anniversary. 20 years of total noise and its still coming...to mark the anniversary the label has a number of interesting things coming up:

* The "Metal: A Headbanger's Companion" box set in April — six-CD set with over 100 tracks for a cheap price
* The "Earache: Extreme Metal Racing" PS2 game now released — Earache is the only label with a PS2 game dedicated to it.
* The NAPALM DEATH "Scum" DualDisc release in March — THE pivotal Earache release and the one that in many ways started the label on the path to notoriety and legendary status
* Sanctuary is issuing a special compilation "Grind Your Mind" In recognition of the genre packed with Earache artists.
* The "Choosing Death" book — still being reprinted, the definitive story of Earache and how the label invented grindcore and influenced death metal.

Commented Earache Label Manager Dan Tobin: "Certainly it's shocked me looking back at the variety of names that we have championed in the past, often taking a chance on a band years before they became fashionable or influential — but a roll call does read like a who's who of extreme and alternative music."
