Description
Europe's most groundbreaking and influential heavy metal record company of the 1980s, Noise Records, was founded in the shadow of the Berlin Wall by Karl-Ulrich Walterbach. This book tells the story of the company's key bands, including Celtic Frost, Coroner, Gamma Ray, Grave Digger, Hellhammer, Helloween, Kreator, Running Wild, Sabbat, Stratovarius, Tankard, and Voivod, who helped shape the global metal scene.
With first-hand accounts from Walterbach, his bands, employees, and fellow music industry comrades, Damn the Machine provides an unflinching look at the tumultuous history of Noise Records. The book explores the classic albums, legendary bands, and the company's struggles with court battles, contract squabbles, botched tours, and complicated relationships.
Today, Noise Records' legacy is unmatched among metal record companies, and this book offers a unique insight into the company's history and its impact on the music industry.
