The label

The idea of this crazy, ambitious but realistic project began in June 2011 as I returned from HELLFEST: to create a label to promote local metal beyond regional boundaries while providing logistical support, artistic eye and passion for local bands.

Finisterian Dead End label is primarily a global concept, a simple but effective guideline where exchange, transparency and the will to excel help, to break the stereotypes of music distribution and will be in no doubt a new player with which one will now have to count.

Its aim: to advise, guide bands on pressing, promotion, funding for their projects, have an outside artistic eye on them, manage a distribution album, and by all means find solutions for each profile.

Utopia is certainly never far away, but no major project without passion! The leitmotiv of Finisterian Dead End: always let the artist free of their movements because they will never be a product!

Our commitment: stay close to the artists, always be at the center of what is and will always remain their project and to never forget that the primary purpose of this is to bring to life this art that binds us, brings us joy and helps us to advance…

The label celebrates his fifth birthday in 2016 and the progress already amazing:
