Open Grave Records is officially
distributed by :
The story of Open Grave Records
begins in mid-2006 when metal enthusiasts James and
Meghan Mattern took an Entrepreneurial venture into
the music business together. They built the entire
label essentially from the ground up, and what was
once a small, independent web-based record label has
today grown to a catalog of over 30 releases that
can be found in major and independent retailers
across North America, Great Britain, and Australia
via BCD and Plastic Head Distribution, and through
an agreement reached with The Orchard, our titles
are now available for legal download at sites
including I-Tunes, E-Music, Rhapsody, Napster, and
others. In addition, several thousand more titles
are available through the associated online web
store.
In evolving as a label, Open Grave Records is
currently celebrating our 2 year anniversary, and
our mission as a label has not changed from the day
we signed our first band two years ago. We will
provide our artists with an outlet for their music
and help them reach higher levels within the
recording industry by supporting their career
decisions, implementing publicity campaigns in
radio, magazines, and television, and not cutting
into the artist's merchandising. Our goal is to gain
the trust of both the artists signed to us, and our
fans. We will always release a quality product, and
we would like to see everyone that picks up an OGR
release to be happy with their purchase and support
our continued efforts at growth and expansion.
In early 2007, an additional outlet
for underground black metal bands was founded as a
subdivision of OGR called Sullen Records, in order
to provide for the underground black metal artists
that would otherwise not have that many options for
getting their material exposed and supported.
