SPKR welcomes renowned
German old school death metal label Testimony Records to the family. Testimony is well known for its die-hard dedication to death metal and particularly old school bands. This course, which has been set by the label’s founder Dennis Wendig, will be continued under the guidance of new label manager Thomas Strater, who has already earned an excellent reputation in death metal circles through his long years of writing for Metal Hammer, Germany among other strong ties. He has also gained previous experience with label work at System Shock and with Morbid Records.
With its focus on physical products and an exciting death metal roster, Testimony is perfectly complementing the SPKR family of labels that already includes Prophecy Productions, Magnetic Eye Records, Dependent Records, Kyrck Productions & Armour, and the book publishing company Index Verlag. SPKR will continue to provide the complete Testimony catalogue and the label will also release new albums and sign artists.
Dennis Wendig comments: “The time has come and with a heavy heart, I have decided to sell Testimony Records”, the label’s founder and previous owner announces. “From now on, great people with extensive experience will be in charge of the label’s fortunes. I sincerely thank all the bands and customers for the last 8 years. It was a great time – and you are amazing people. Please stay healthy and the way that you are. I sincerely wish you all the very best in the name of death metal!”
Martin Koller comments: “We are thrilled to welcome Testimony Records and Thomas Strater to our label family”, the SPKR founder writes. “Our thanks go to the label’s founder Dennis Wendig for his passion and work of love so far. Testimony will continue on the set death metal course as an independent entity, while SPKR will provide its business expertise, distribution network, and professional promotion and marketing. From now on, SPKR will be more deadly than ever. Welcome Thomas, and welcome Testimony!”
Thomas Strater writes: “Beyond any doubt, death metal was, is, and will be here to stay”, the new Testimony label manager declares. “Testimony Records has been built on a strong foundation and I’m stoked to work with the label and for exactly the kind of music that I love most dearly, death metal. Of course, I’m looking forward to continue what has already been begun and also to expand the label’s deadly horizon to wherever musical brutality reigns supreme.”
