Lifeforce Records is not dead yet

Hi, my name is Stefan and I'm the owner of somewhat well established metal label Lifeforce Records, who helped to put bands like Trivium, Heaven Shall Burn, Between The Buried And Me, Caliban, Deadlock and many more on the map of the heavy music landscape.

Times have never been easy for the label, it was basically started when the golden era of music business was already fading, but we managed to keep the flag high over the years anyway.

Fast forward until present, as literally a one man army it is a daily struggle to maintain the level of professionalism, which Lifeforce Records has stood for the past almost 30 years.

Unfortunately, the external circumstances do not necessarily work for a comparatively small label. The flame is still burning and dedication not lost, however, massively increased costs make it very difficult to continue to run Lifeforce Records as a first-class address for heavy music these days. I know, it is called capitalism and the big sharks eat the small fishes, but is this really what people want, DIY-labels dying out and only the big players to stay?

I definitely didn't make the decision easy to ask for help this way, but maybe there are a few people who want to see Lifeforce being around for another 3 decades.

Any help is welcome, whether you buy something from the Lifeforce Records shop (which is the best way), leave a few bucks here for your "favorite label" or by simply sharing this campaign. I can promise you one thing, I will continue to provide you with music, on the current scale or on a smaller level.

Lifeforce Records is not dead yet.
