Indie Recordings AS

General information

Indie Recordings was founded in 2005 by Erik and Espen Røhne as a side project of Indie Distribution. In 2006 Erlend Gjerde joined Indie Recordings and Indie Distribution and together they developed the label from being a "hobby project", into one of the leading independent record labels in Scandinavia, releasing gold-record status albums with bands like Kvelertak and Satyricon. Indie Recordings have mainly focused on developing Norwegian acts like Fight The Fight, 1349, Kvelertak, Satyricon, Enslaved, God Seed, Keep Of kalessin, Wardruna, Djerv, Oslo Ess ++. But, talent knows no borders and lately the label has gone on to sign several foreign successful acts like Cult Of Luna and Adimiron and promising acts like Dutch Steak number Eight and The Erkonauts from Switzerland. Publishing has also become an important part of our business, and today we manage a vast catalogue of copyrights for our artists.

Indie Recordings` sister company is Indie Distribution. Until 2014, Indie distribution was one of the leading independent distributors in Scandinavia for physical products with exclusive distribution deals with labels like; Nuclear Blast, PIAS, Cooperative Music, Peaceville, Season of Mist, Metal Blade, Napalm, Morder Music, Target, Bloodshot, Fat Wreck, Saddle Creek, Fat Possum, Wichita, Alligator, Century Media, Rise Above and many, many more. Indie Distribution acheived more than 30 top 5 albums, and multiple #1 chartings. Indie Distribution have received gold record awards for albums by artists like; Kvelertak, Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Nightwish, Antony and the Johnsons and First Aid Kit. Since 2015 Indie Distribution has been focused on digital distribution, running the Norwegian operation for the No.1 independent distributor globally; Believe Distribution. We also run Believe`s metal-sales, coordinating sales efforts for Believes metal labels like Season Of Mist, AFM ++.

Indie Distribution also holds our management division where we represent FIGHT THE FIGHT for world wide management.

Having the opportunity to work with such fine musicians is a great inspiration to us, and has motivated us to put all our efforts into creating a label we are very proud of. Every day we stay true to the cause: Bringing out to you our favorite rock and metal music!
