Brutal Records President Michael Howard states, “I’m very excited to announce the partnership with MRI. When I was looking at options, I contacted my old friend Alan Becker SVP RED and he suggested that we team up with Missi Callazzo from Megaforce and RED. There is nothing more metal then Megaforce, who are responsible for signing and introducing some legendary metal bands to the world. RED speaks for itself with their dedication to the metal genre. I feel this is the perfect combination and home for the label”.

“The deal with RED and Sony Music marks a step forward in the strategic assets for the Brutal Records label in the years to come, which is now fully under the Sony Music umbrella in North America. I wish to take the opportunity and thank Megaforce, MRI, RED, Sony Music and The Orchard for their belief, passion and good will toward the label.”
