History edit

Spinefarm Records was originally founded in 1990 by Riku Pääkkönen as a mail-order distribution company for rock and heavy metal albums and singles, but later became a record label for Finnish acts such as Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Sonata Arctica.[2]

In 1999, a sub-label titled Spikefarm Records was started by Sami Tenetz from Thy Serpent.[4] Since 2002, Spinefarm has been part of Universal Music Group, but operates as an independent business unit.[5]

In autumn 2007, Spinefarm launched in the UK, starting with re-issuing deluxe versions of the first five Nightwish albums, including the Over the Hills and Far Away EP.

At the start of 2016, it was announced that Spinefarm Records had acquired Candlelight Records.

On 18 August 2017, Spinefarm Records announced the global launch of sub-label Snakefarm Records.[6] Snakefarm has since signed Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and more.[7] The label's focus genres are roots rock, blues rock, and country.

Today, Spinefarm Records has offices in New York, London, and Helsinki.

Bands edit

Spinefarm Music Group consists of three sub-labels: Spinefarm Records (mainstream heavy metal and hard rock), Candlelight Records (extreme metal, black metal, and death metal), and Snakefarm Records (country, blues, and southern rock).
