    Spinefarm Records is an international record label responsible for notable rock and heavy metal releases from Sleep Token, Scorpions, Bullet For My Valentine, Killing Joke and Black Veil Brides, among others. Founded in Finland in 1990, Spinefarm was acquired by Universal Music Group in 2002.[1]

    History

    [edit]

    Spinefarm Records began as a mailorder distribution company, founded by Riku Pääkkönen. The company evolved into a record label for Finnish acts such as Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Sonata Arctica.[2] Since 2002, Spinefarm has been part of Universal Music Group, but operates as an independent business unit.[4]

    Pääkkönen sold the original Ranka publishing catalog to Warner/Chappell Music in 2008, including several songs by Spinefarm acts like Children Of Bodom, Finntroll, and Nightwish.[5]

    Former Roadrunner Records President Jonas Nachsin was appointed Spinefarm's General Manager - Worldwide in 2013.[6] Spinefarm/UMG acquired the English label Candlelight Records in late 2015.[7] In 2017, Spinefarm Music Group announced the launch of the country, blues, and southern rock-oriented Snakefarm Records. [8]
