History

MetalAgen Records was founded in 1989, according to information cited on Discogs and reflected in the German Wikipedia article about the label. The late 1980s were a period of significant change in the Soviet Union, and the emergence of an independent metal label at that time placed MetalAgen among the early movers in Russia's extreme music scene. The label built its identity around black, death and thrash metal, genres that were gaining traction in the underground both in Russia and internationally. Over the years, MetalAgen has released both original albums and reissues, helping to preserve and circulate key recordings from the Russian metal underground. One of the albums in its catalogue is Scald's 'Will of Gods Is a Great Power'. The label has continued to operate as a niche imprint, with its official website at metalagen.com serving as a point of contact and information.
