Publishing company. Metal and rock Magazine with a Do It Yourself cd production and distribution. But remember we do this in our spare time, and when we want to.
Feel free to send material or links of your band for a review in our magazine. We also like to post advertisements for other companies, and other labels or (non SpeedSlaughter) bands for a small fee. About SpeedSlaughter Productions; we give bands a oppertunity to publish and distribute a -UNPUBLISHED- Do It Yourself cd through SpeedSlaughter. It is for (beginning) bands that have difficulties in
finding a record label, or are dropped by a label or simply, can`t produce a D.I.Y. cd themselves. SpeedSlaughter produces the pro cd`s and distribution goes through Zwaertgevegt label/distro. For the moment it are cd-r cd`s with a printed cd label, and a printed 2-4 page colour or black and white booklet, in a slim case. SpeedSlaughter and our befriended distro, Zwaertgevegt label/distro, sells the cd`s. We also have a bandcamp page, and your digital album will be sold there as well, that is required. SpeedSlaughter doesn`t do contracts (yet). But a confirmation that you agree to a publication is binding. Each band can get a free copy of their album. Zwaertgevegt is our official partner: https://www.facebook.com/Zwaertgevegt-134068026725427/ http://zwaertgevegt.blogspot.com/
If enough (like 100) physical albums and digital albums are sold, money may go to the band. SpeedSlaughter takes their fair share first for their services, and to cover the own costs. A song of your release will be used for SpeedSlaughter compilation albums, but no money can be claimed for that. It is to finance the label and promotional activities plus our own costs. So all you have to do, after your agreement with SpeedSlaughter, is: Send your music (mp3 or wave files only!). Be sure the music and artwork are ready and done. Once published changes can`t be made. Artwork has to be in JPEG or PDF and 12x12CM or 12x24CM format for a 1, 2, 3 or 4 page booklet. SpeedSlaughter has it`s own design for the cd label. A warning;
If the band decides to use other distro`s or other label(s) besides Zwaertgevegt & SpeedSlaughter Productions, WE are not responsible if troubles occur. Permission has to be asked to us if you want to publish through another label though. We prefer to publish music that has not been published before. If we find out that your album is published by another label before, or is availalble on any other source (Bandcamp etc.), we will not pay you for your sold albums. As agreed with some bands we do not sell their albums on our bandcamp. SpeedSlaughter will sell albums themselves in MP3 format to costumers instead, when physical albums are sold out. We do not need permission for that. The copyrights of the publications are of SpeedSlaughter Productions. Policy date: December 10, 2015.

Hi folks, some news here...
I'm trying hard to get things up and running again. In the past we reviewed any cd and interviewed any band and more, but sadly, that's gonna change due to lack of time and people stepping out etc. So we're going to promote our pro cdr releases and "in the house bands" only (for the moment). My idea and wish of starting an own distro seems to become reality, and we're not only publishing black and death metal... Thrash metal, Viking/pagan/folk metal bands, punk and doom bands are welcome as well. So hopefully soon things will be up and running again, with an own distro, together with my friend Kyle. Cheers to you all and thanks for all your endless support.
Jacques - founder and owner of SpeedSlaughter.
