Since 2013

Built by people
who live in the pit

We started as a retail shop moving hard rock and metal CDs, tees and memorabilia. That became a blog, then a podcast, then a label with a roster stretching from Canada and Sweden to Finland, South America and across the US.

The former RFL Records ceased operations in 2022 and restructured as RFL Entertainment in 2023. In 2025 three partners united behind one plan: a one-stop shop for artists at any level.
