Rottweiler Records is a Christian metal record label based out of Dallas, Texas, United States. The label features bands such as Lust Control, [2] Soul Embraced, [3] The Jericho Harlot, and Pantokrator. [4] The label started early on as a label that served punk rock, but has become a label that serves metal and punk. It is a Christian label, and therefore many of its artists are as well. [1] The label was created by Shawn Browning, also known as Wretched of Grave Robber. [5] Many bands on the label have placed high on CMW's charts and have had many positive reviews. [6] The label participates in several compilations, including Kill the Ill a benefit comp for Rottweiler's owner Shawn Browning, [7] and Metal Pulse: A Tribute to Dale Huffman. [8]
The label partnered with a sister label, known as Nosral Recordings, with Frost Like Ashes guitarist Mike Larson heading it up. Nosral Recordings served as an extreme metal label primarily. [9]
On March 17, 2022, it was announced that Rottweiler Records and the subsidiary Hagah Recordings would be acquired by Mythic Panda Productions, an organization that works with Broken Flesh, A Hill to Die Upon, and Hrada, which features Peter Espevoll of Extol. [10]
