Nuclear Blast is an
independent record label and
mail order record distributor with subsidiaries in
Germany, the
United States and
Brazil. Originally releasing
hardcore punk records, the label moved on to releasing albums by
melodic death metal,
grindcore and
black metal bands, as well as
tribute albums. Nuclear Blast is widely respected as the top label for the melodic metal scene, along with fellow non-
RIAA label
Century Media. The record label was founded in
1987 by Markus Staiger in Germany. The label's main office is still in
Donzdorf,
Göppingen.
Their releases include a series of compilation albums called "Death Is Just the Beginning". Music from the Nuclear Blast label was featured in the unsuccessful movie Alone in the Dark.
