Industry Profile:
Renegade Records Rhodes Mason
Former Nuclear Blast Records Head Opens A New Label
Interviewed by Keith McDonald
By now most of you know that Nuclear Blast America has closed it’s doors and licensed out their bands and masters to Century Media. This was a huge surprise and blow to the metal community (ed. note: This is Keith’s opinion and not necessarily that of everyone at Metal-Rules.com….time will tell if it’s good or bad). Bands like In Flames and Hammerfall that had strived at NBA were left to wonder their future. Former NBA boss Rhodes Mason has now reappeared and started his own label called Renegade Records and will be releasing a new album by the legendary Mayhem in the near future. I had the chance to speak with Rhodes who filled me in on what’s been going on.
