Rottweiler Records is a Christian metal record label based out of Dallas, Texas, United States. The label features bands such as Lust Control,[2] Soul Embraced,[3] The Jericho Harlot, and Pantokrator.[4] The label started early on as a label that served punk rock, but has become a label that serves metal and punk. It is a Christian label, and therefore many of its artists are as well.[1] The label was created by Shawn Browning in Fort Wayne, Indiana, also known as Wretched of Grave Robber.[5][6] Many bands on the label have placed high on CMW's charts and have had many positive reviews.[7] The label participates in several compilations, including Kill the Ill a benefit comp for Rottweiler's owner Shawn Browning,[8] and Metal Pulse: A Tribute to Dale Huffman.[9]
The label partnered with a sister label, known as Nosral Recordings, with Frost Like Ashes guitarist Mike Larson heading it up. Nosral Recordings served as an extreme metal label primarily.[10]
On March 17, 2022, it was announced that Rottweiler Records and the subsidiary Hagah Recordings would be acquired by Mythic Panda Productions, an organization that works with Broken Flesh, A Hill to Die Upon, and Hrada, which features Peter Espevoll of Extol. The change in ownership also saw the label move from Fort Wayne to Dallas.[5][11]
