Son of Man records is currently the only operating raw unblack label. This records has done much to promote raw unblack by signing many bands and releasing a series of cds. check them out.
Serpent Grinder :
What is your main
purpose?
SMR:
Promoting and
distributing the unblack underground.
The furthering of Christendom.
Serpent Grinder: What type of
bands do you support?
SMR:
Sincere unblack projects. Mostly
minimalists.
Serpent Grinder: Any kind of black
metal or an specific type?
SMR:
Anything unique.
Nothing symphonic.
Serpent Grinder: Who have you
signed?
SMR:
Currently:
Firethrone(2004), Rising Hour(2005), Horrific Majesty(2006),
Eulogium(2006).
In the past: Cabalistic(2005)
Serpent Grinder:
What exactly do you sell?
SMR:
Unblack
metal in minimalist friendly formats.
Serpent Grinder: Any new
deal or special coming up?
SMR:
Horrific
Majesty - 'In Shadows Eternal' EP is coming out April 20th. Slow,
emotional Unblack out of Alabama (people have compared it to Burzum and
Xasthur, though I do not support nor recommend these ungodly projects),
it will be sold through our site
www.sonofmanrecords.com for $10.
Serpent Grinder: Do your artist
share a common lyrical theme?
SMR:
I'd like to think
that our artists are talented enough to come up with something beyond
the typical "Hail Jesus... also, kill a goat!" style lyrics. I suppose
that Christianity is a 'common lyrical theme', but it manifests itself
in different ways.
Serpent Grinder: Requirements for
projects/bands interested in your label?
SMR:
We're an unblack
label, not a metalcore label. Rockstars can send their demos to Endtime,
SolidState, etc. Creativity and sincerity are what we are concerned
about.
Serpent Grinder: Any future plans?
SMR:
2006: Eulogium -
Where Solace is Mine, Horrific Majesty/TBA split, Rising Hour -
Sovereign, and we have discussed a professional repress of the
Firethrone... but that may not work out.
Serpent Grinder: Any last Comments?
SMR:
Information is
available at

opportunity for promotion through this interview. The end of Satan's
earthly kingdom is near. Hails !
