Spinefarm is a Finnish record label that was founded in 1990 by Riku Pääkkönen. Originally starting as a mailorder and distribution company for rock and metal releases, Spinefarm quickly expanded to release albums from Finnish metal bands. In 2002, Spinefarm became part of Universal Music when Universal Music Oy became the majority shareholder of Spin-Farm Oy, the record company that runs Spinefarm. In 2005, Universal bought the entire company and merged it with Universal Music Oy on December 31st, 2014.

Although founder Riku Pääkkönen left the company in 2011, he continued working on [l532289], a sub-label of Spinefarm. With two regional offices outside of Finland - Spinefarm UK in London and Spinefarm US in New York - they cover other territories through Caroline/Universal Music or local distribution partners.

Known for their expertise in distribution, Spinefarm has been credited under their name for various releases. With their rich history and strong ties to the metal music scene, Spinefarm remains an influential force within the industry.

Having exceeded the wildest expectations, Sweden's most celebrated merchants of modern occult rock found themselves three albums in and on the cusp of a minor mainstream breakthrough. Opinion on their previous album, Infestissumam, was cleanly divided between those who adored its enhanced theatrical ambitions and those who missed the succinct thud of 2010's Opus Eponymous. Led by the eerily detached proclamations of third vocal incumbent Papa Emeritus III, Meliora&nbsp;strikes a shrewd balance between its two predecessors, snappier song structures moderating the intrusive impact of the band's most unhinged ideas. The malevolent swagger that drives the likes of 'Spirit' and 'From the Pinnacle to the Pit' ensures that underground metal fans will still feel the scorch of hellish flames, but these often startlingly catchy songs deserve to reach a much bigger audience. Ghost's meticulous policing of their own warped facade and cherished anonymity mean that, somewhat against the odds, their otherworldly shtick still works brilliantly.
