Cyclone Empire

Cyclone Empire is a German independent record label, mailorder and music trading company based in Salach, Germany. It was founded in 1996 in Donzdorf as a trading platform for metal releases. In its early years, the company also handled exclusive distribution for other labels such as Holy Records, Diehard Music and Vic Records in cooperation with Intercord Record Service for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Later, the label focused on export wholesale, particularly to Eastern Europe, the rest of Europe, North and South America, Australia and some Asian countries. Cyclone Empire is also active as an importer of releases from major and small labels in metal, hard rock, punk, hardcore punk, metalcore and electronic music. Under the name Metal Recycler, the label operates a mailorder service for private customers. Since the mid-2000s, its own releases have mainly consisted of albums by German and Swedish metal bands on CD and vinyl. From 2010, it released ten split singles under the name Imperial Anthems, featuring partly previously unreleased songs by label and non-label bands. The label remains active in the metal music scene.
