“Everyone at RPM is extremely excited about the prospect of continuing our quest to build the most impressive line-up in heavy music, especially this moment as we welcome many of these icons into the fold!” said Sven Bogner, founder of RPM.
Gerardo Martinez, co-founder of RPM, mentions: “It is an honor to welcome and to see familiar faces join the team! Having spent 20 years with MESHUGGAH I’m very much looking forward to another 20!”
“Our vision for RPM goes beyond just being another record label; it is a collective endeavor to unite with exceptional individuals and bands deeply aligned with our commitment to extraordinary music,” said Jochen Richert, the newly appointed managing director for RPM in Germany.
This new structure solidifies RPM as a big contender in the current heavy music scene and promises a great variety of quality music to be released in the future.
