9 years ago today I made the decision to create a record label heavily focused on musicianship and the beauty and importance of releasing these albums on vinyl.

Today we enter our 10th year as a record label. In celebration of Magnetic Eye Records we offer a 25% coupon code which is valid on all purchases via Store.MERHQ.Com until December 1, 2019.

Please spread the word and help us by commenting with your favorite artist and releases we have done to date.

2020 looks to be our best year yet, thank you for all the support and encouragement during our first 9 years together.

Thank you! Mike Vitali

Ps. Sorry I couldn’t tag more than 20 people, there are so many of you that I have tremendous respect and gratitude to; folks like Jadd of MER/ .funeral John P of Outter batter Josh of The Company KC and many more!

Just in case you didn’t get the memo and might be interested.

I’ve got a new band and we’ve snuck out a record 2 weeks ago.

Here’s a one stop to digital streaming and download links - https://orcd.co/j8mx5rv

And, here’s the direct link to our Bandcamp if you’d like to preorder the cd or vinyl - https://theblackelectric.bandcamp.com/album/black-electric

Band is called Black Electric and is for fans of hazed out blues/ rock/ grunge sort of thing along the lines of Band of Gypsys, ZZ Top, QotSA, early Nirvana.

Thanks for reading and maybe even listening and purchasing.

Mike and the guys.

Okay, all hands on deck as no one wants MER to whither and die.

Our biggest and brightest project EVER:

The Day of Doom Label Showcase and Live Album Project. 10 days remaining, we set budget very modestly, flights and lodging for our overseas bands is expensive and $00.0038 per stream only gets us so far.

Okay, not complaining, just a asking for your love, support and help! Please pledge, please spread the word.

Midway point thru our The Day of Doom Label Showcase and Live Album project on Kickstarter! 15 days left - I think you’ll want to PREORDER the Vinyl Boxset!

As you know, we are very excited to bring 9 bands together on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019 at Saint Vitus Bar to celebrate our first 9 years as a label.

This is truly a once in a lifetime event as I can not imagine Summoner, Elephant Tree, Horsehunter, and Domkraft sharing the stage with 5 more label roster artists and taking over a venue like Saint Vitus again anytime soon. Who knows though, right?!!!!!!

We have 15 more days to go and ALL $ raised during our Kickstarter will he used directly to make this event and live recording project a once in a lifetime show.

Saint Vitus Bar & MER have also made tickets available to the public. NOTE, you can only purchase tickets to the private pre-party occurring at Saint Vitus via Kickstarter.

Okay, here is the Facebook event page - https://www.facebook.com/events/2410110865940957/?ti=icl

and a link to the general admission tickets which are now available as of today -

David King and The Collaborative are the best!

And you can quote me, “There is a real sense of advocacy for musicians in what we’re doing. We’re doing it because the industry is a piece of dog s**t and we need to find our own way. We need to build it ourselves. I think there’s a larger sense that we all need to run from the existing bulls**t that is making money for a couple of rich tech guys while all the musicians are going broke and crazy.”

Magnetic Eye Records & Summoner, Elephant Tree, Domkraft & Horsehunter all hope to see you all at Saint Vitus Bar Saturday, November 2, 2019 for our label showcase.

Local doom metal label Magnetic Eye will launch an expanded release schedule with a showcase at the celebrated St Vitus metal bar in Brooklyn this November.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - VOL 4 [REDUX] Black Sabbath was single-handedly responsible for heavy metal with the release of their debut self-titled studio album on February 13, 1970. They’ve inspired and influenced more metal and doom artists and recordings than anyone besides possibly Satan himself. Magn
