Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Sometimes, things just speak -or scream, roar, shout, maim, wound, beat, pulverize and destroy- for themselves. Exhibit one?&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose, the 15th studio&nbsp;album from Newcastle-born Heavy&nbsp;Metal pioneers Raven, is released on Silver Lining Music. Founding Geordie brothers John Gallagher (lead vocals, bass, 12 string bass) and Mark Gallagher (guitar, backing vocals) have seemingly entered a time-machine and regenerated their youthful selves, and with the fierce drumming of Mike Heller propelling further power,&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose&nbsp;shows a band clearly bursting with fire, energy, power and pride in their standing as one of the true forefathers of the New Wave of British&nbsp;Heavy Metal.It is no understatement to say these are 10 'banger-after-banger' tracks, each with a tantalizing flurry of twisting NWOBHM riffery.&nbsp;“Turn Of The Screw” bounces on the upbeats before smashing you with a thunderous chorus,&nbsp;“The Far Side” has as classic a metal riff as you’ll hear in 2023,&nbsp;“Desperate Measures” is pure&nbsp;'81-saturated tales of hardship and&nbsp;despair, if you ever wondered what Raven at the Marquee were like on a sweaty metal night in&nbsp;’83, then&nbsp;“Edge of A Nightmare” is your portal to paradise, and&nbsp;“Go For The Gold” (the finisher!) thunders as hard as the opener&nbsp;“Medieval”. Produced expertly by the band themselves&nbsp;at Heaven And Heller Studios,&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose&nbsp;is 100% peddle to the heavy metal fun and escape back to the timeless future. Get into yer denim and leathers, break out the&nbsp;bevvies and crank this mutha to 11!!!
