Screaming Ferret Wreckords, LLC. - the New England-based independent
metal label that is home to such varied acts as Nuclear Assault, Meliah
Rage, Beyond the Flesh, Divinity Destroyed, the Ben Jackson Group and
new signing, Try Redemption - has made an arrangement with WARCON
Enterprises to be distributed through their Fontana Distribution deal.
WARCON, the label that has been making waves among
punk rock and
post-hardcore circles, has received much attention with their
participation in the Taste Of Chaos tour and the recent signing of hard
rock stalwarts Helmet. This unique relationship promises to extend the
reach of Screaming Ferret Wreckords, giving a much-deserved push and
greater impact to their hard-working artists.
WARCON co-founder Bob Chiappardi states, Im excited to welcome Tim
Koukos and Screaming Ferret Wreckords to our WARCON family of
distributed labels. Screaming Ferret represents our first metal music
label signing. While
WARCON specializes in post-hardcore music, we have
the resources and knowledge to successfully promote & distribute
a wide
range of music including metal, punk, etc. We look forward to a long
and successful venture with Screaming
Ferret Wreckords.
