BREAK THE CHAINS is a new born label run by Mila, Agipunk boss / singer of Giuda and Astolfi, singer of Children Of Technology. Created in order to break the wall between two great kinds of music, metal and punk, BREAK THE CHAINS wants to strengthen their common feeling focusing on the union between bands that share the same idea. BREAK THE CHAINS deals with “split” vinyl releases only, gathering different acts from both sides, aiming at a final result which will be more than a simple “release” as long as it will embody the lifestyle of both metal and punk. The listener must open his mind in front of B. T. C. records!
BREAK THE CHAINS will put out nice packaged stuff in limited quantities and with “old skull” looking, in order to please the mania of the aficionados always hungry for records. Our goal is to blend two scenes that too often have been walking in the same direction but on two different roads. So prepare your turntables for the upcoming BREAK THE CHAINS attacks and let there be metal/punk!!! MILA / ASTOLFI 2010 B. T. C.

It's time to merge two great realities of the music darker and sincere in circulation of 'today' s underground, so we present a 10” split EP between WARHAMMER and COFFINS. Teutonic WARHAMMER plays in maniacal way the ultra-cult Hellhammer / Celtic Frost style since ages, as no-one could do better. Growing up from both metal & punk roots, the Warhammer deathdoom brigade “evolved” their style in a darker and more obsessed version of the swiss gods, offering here a over 7 minutes song that will not betray their tradition in playing obscure music! In the other side Japanese COFFINS are back in vinyl with their amazing stenchous ‘n’ doomish death by metal that distinguished them from a myriad of many other groups of similar genre nowadays.
