Artificial Sun

Artificial Sun is a Russian record label launched in 2012 to release and distribute music by industrial bands and artists. Its stated geographic reach has included Russia, other Commonwealth of Independent States markets, and Europe. The label's catalog is associated with industrial music and adjacent electronic scenes, combining releases by individual artists with compilations and tribute projects. The label's documented artist roster includes Type V Blood. Its catalog also contains multi-artist projects involving established industrial acts, including a compilation featuring Die Krupps and releases connected with Otto Dix. These projects indicate that Artificial Sun has operated not only as a home for a specific artist but also as a curator and distributor for themed collections representing the broader Russian and international industrial-music community. The documented discography begins with Penta by Type V Blood in 2012. It was followed by compilation and tribute releases including The Voices Of Machine in 2012, Russian Industrial Tribute To Die Krupps in 2013, and Elektrozorn Vol. 1 in 2013. The available reference material does not provide reliable information about the label's legal ownership, management, physical headquarters, current release schedule, distribution partners, financial performance, or subsequent roster changes. Accordingly, Artificial Sun is best characterized as a Russian industrial-oriented record label with a documented early-2010s catalog and international-facing distribution ambitions.

Artificial Sun emerged in Russia in 2012 as a record label oriented toward industrial bands and artists. From the beginning, its described distribution scope extended beyond the domestic Russian market to other CIS countries and Europe. The available record does not identify a founder, corporate parent, or specific city of operation, but it presents the label as a platform for distributing music associated with the industrial scene. Its early catalog combined artist albums with compilation and tribute releases. The first documented album is Penta by Type V Blood, released in 2012. In the same year, the label issued The Voices Of Machine, a various-artists compilation. This combination of a dedicated artist release and a broader anthology suggests a dual role: supporting individual acts while presenting a wider network of industrial music. In 2013, Artificial Sun expanded its documented catalog with Russian Industrial Tribute To Die Krupps and Elektrozorn Vol. 1. The Die Krupps tribute connected the label's activity with a prominent international industrial act, while Elektrozorn Vol. 1 continued its compilation-based approach. The label's documented artist relationships include Type V Blood, and its compilation activity has also involved artists such as Die Krupps and Otto Dix. Beyond these releases, reliable reference material is limited. There is no confirmed information in the supplied sources about later albums, current executives, label ownership, financial results, distribution agreements, or whether the label remains operational in the same form. Its historical profile is therefore anchored in its launch and early-2010s industrial-music catalog.
