Perverted Taste

Perverted Taste is a German independent record label founded in 1993 and based in Reichenbach im Vogtland, in the Vogtland region of Saxony. The label is best known for specialising in black metal and death metal in their various subgenres, and it has been active in the extreme metal underground for more than three decades. Its catalogue is documented on the online music database Discogs, where just over 144 releases were listed as of the end of 2019, the earliest dating from 1993. The label operates as a small, specialised imprint rather than a major corporate player. Its output consists primarily of physical releases — CDs, vinyl records and related merchandise — aimed at collectors and fans of extreme metal. The official website, pervertedtaste.de, functions as a direct sales and information channel, presenting recommendations, offers and a filterable catalogue of available titles under the name Perverted Taste Music GmbH. Because it focuses on niche metal genres, Perverted Taste is part of the European underground metal network of labels, distributors and mail-order services. It has released music by a range of black metal and death metal acts, and its long history since 1993 makes it one of the older still-recognisable German extreme metal labels. The company is privately held and does not trade on a stock exchange; no parent company or owner beyond the label itself is documented in the available sources. This dossier is based on the label's official website, its Wikidata entry and the German Wikipedia article about it. Details such as the exact founder, current management and full release list are not covered by the supplied evidence and are therefore left unspecified.

Perverted Taste was founded in 1993 as a German music label based in Reichenbach im Vogtland, a town in the Vogtland region of Saxony. From its beginnings the label concentrated on extreme metal, in particular black metal and death metal in their various stylistic forms. Its first release appeared in the same year the label was founded, 1993. Over the following decades the label built a catalogue of extreme metal titles. According to the online music database Discogs, just over 144 releases were documented under the Perverted Taste name as of the end of 2019, with the earliest dating from 1993. This places the label among the longer-running independent German metal imprints, active continuously from the early 1990s into the 2020s. The label's official website presents it as Perverted Taste Music GmbH and serves as a direct channel for its releases, offering recommendations, special offers and a filterable catalogue. The German Wikipedia article on Perverted Taste describes it as a German music label founded in 1993 and specialising above all in black metal and death metal in diverse forms, and links to the official website and to the label's Discogs profile. No information about a change of ownership, a parent company, or a stock-market listing is provided by the available sources; the label appears to operate as a privately held independent entity. Details such as the identity of its founder and its current management are likewise not covered by the supplied evidence.
