About Me |
|
Shrapnel Records was founded in 1980 by Mike Varney at the age of 22. It was the first record company in the USA strictly dedicated to Heavy Metal. As other labels followed suit, Shrapnel set itself apart from the pack by focusing on bands featuring guitarists of extraordinary ability and was at the forefront of the neo-classical electric guitar and shred guitar movements. Shrapnel Records was the first label to bring renowned guitarists to world attention such as Yngwie Malmsteen (Steeler), Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Greg Howe, Richie Kotzen and many others. Today Shrapnel continues to record guitarists of extraordinary ability and has also returned a bit to its metal roots in releasing some classic metal and hard rock,as well as progressive metal records. The turn of the new millennium has brought a resurgent interest in virtuoso guitar work and this groundswell continues to build you can continue to look to Shrapnel to be at the forefront of a whole new generation of guitar excellence. The Shrapnel Label Group has two additional imprints, Jazz and fusion guitar oriented Tone Center, and a rockin' blues and blues guitar label, Blues Bureau International. Releases from these labels will be featured on this page along with Shrapnel Releases. . Note: Mike Varney does check this page when his schedule allows, but messages sent to him here will not be forwarded unless he knows you. Equipment manufacturers interested in endorsements can contact Shrapnel through this page. Radio stations interested in demos can reach Shrapnel here as well. Please DO NOT send inquires here about getting signed. Michael Landau... Got Tone? Please take a moment to visit our friends at Wayne Guitars |
