The noise began in 1982… Founded upon owner Brian Slagel’s enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success.
Aware that it is only through the support of fans who share this passion that the label has been able to flourish, Slagel is equally grateful for the devotion of metalheads everywhere. “At the end of the day I just want to thank everybody out there who has supported the label and all the bands over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn’t do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you.

Next year, we proudly celebrate our 45th year of spreading heavy metal into the universe and we couldn't be more excited to kick that celebration off with you guys come January 2027.
To mark this brutal milestone, Slagel announces a brand-new podcast series: Metal Blade Records' 45th Anniversary Podcast!
Slagel: “I’m super excited to host this new podcast celebrating 45 years of Metal Blade Records! Following my podcast 100 songs that define heavy metal, the concept is basically the same! Going to be fun to talk to everyone each episode!”
We'll release one new episode per week throughout the entire year, available on all major podcast platforms. Each episode will feature an in-depth conversation with past and present Metal Blade Records artists and others involved in the making of some of the label's most celebrated releases — a deep dive into the stories, struggles, and creative visions behind 25 landmark albums that helped shape the course of heavy music.
Any guesses on which albums will be featured?! Let us know down in the comments!
