Season Of Mist is an independent record label and distributor, with offices in Marseille, France and Philadelphia, USA. Founded in 1996 by Michael S. Berberian, the label initially focused on releasing Black Metal, Pagan Metal, and Death Metal records. Over time, Season of Mist expanded its roster to include Avant-garde Metal, Gothic Metal, and Punk bands as well. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the top labels in the extreme metal scene.

Michael S. Berberian founded Season Of Mist while completing his studies in International Economics Sciences. Since then, the label has grown steadily under his leadership and now employs 17 staff members. In addition to being a record label, Season of Mist also acts as a distributor for other metal labels such as *Metal Blade Records*, *Spinefarm Records*, and *Napalm Records* within the French territory.

With subsidiaries in France and the United States, Season Of Mist continues to be at the forefront of promoting diverse genres within extreme metal music. From its humble beginnings releasing underground black metal albums to its current status as a respected authority in the industry, Season Of Mist remains committed to supporting talented artists across various subgenres of metal.

Greek band formed in 1987 by singer and guitarist Sakis Tolis (Necromayhem), his brother Themis Tolis (Necrosauron) on drums and Jim Patsouris (Mutilator) on bass. At first, the trio played a roaring mixture of Death Metal and Grind. Only one year later the band recorded their first split 7″ EP with Grindcore act SOUND POLLUTION. In 1989 their first official demo was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. This notorious five-track under the name “Satanas Tedeum” witnessed Rotting Christ turning towards an incredibly dark and violent Black Metal sound.

In 1991 Rotting Christ had scored a local record deal and released their famous “Passage to Arcturo”. The EP featured NECROMANTIA’s Magus Wampyr Daoloth (as Morbid) on keyboards. Changing to an international label, Rotting Christ saw their debut album “Thy Mighty Contract” appearing in 1993. This classic work defined the so-called “Greek sound of Black Metal” and gained them worldwide attention.
