Origination:
It lasts pretty long to release such works filled with very own ideals.

Apart from the music itself, I always liked the beautiful and detailed front cover arts and I'm still totally fascinated by the graphical representations of many releases in Metal.

It oftentimes happened that I bought records only because of the cover, though the music did not please me that good. That's pretty crazy, but that's what an addict collector does.

That's why I think it's a shame that some genius cover artists, unlike the bands, did not get known accordingly.

One day I came up with the enthusiastic and richly inspired idea of ​​putting together compilations myself.

The overall concept of the series should be an opportunity for bands as well as for cover artists to get more attention.

That's why I always work very closely with the graphic artists who design the respective front cover according to my ideas.

After the realization of a new sampler I always send a lot of promo about it to countless media - and I never get tired of telling them that they should please write something about the cover artist involved as well!


Claim:
There have been released really not less of underground compilations these past years, and so many of them all unfortunately were done without real heartblood & therefore with a very low degree of passion – especially in this unique musical genre, called Heavy Metal!

The METAL MESSAGE ᴳᴸᴼᴮᴬᴸ compilations on the other hand are created with a real massive dose of strong enthusiasm. I did them with my deepest dedication for the arts of the chosen participants and for the contributing cover artists.

For some of you it’s just music, simply just a specific period of your life. But for a small und rare amount of the other ones of us Heavy Metal means a unique way of life - bounded to an endless loving view on honest art.

Enjoy all the harsh beating rhythms, furious guitar-attacks & beautiful tunes – & stay mainly true to yourself!
