Spinefarm

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.

Metalcore band from Sheffield, England. Formed in 2006.
While She Sleeps is a metalcore band hailing from Sheffield, England. With their powerful and energetic sound, they have become a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Since their formation in 2006, the band has maintained a consistent lineup consisting of Sean Long on lead guitar and backing vocals, Mat Welsh on rhythm guitar, piano, and vocals, Aaran McKenzie on bass and backing vocals, Adam "Sav" Savage on drums and percussion, and Lawrence "Loz" Taylor as the lead vocalist since 2009. While She Sleeps' dedication to their craft has earned them a loyal fanbase worldwide.
Past member Jordan Widdowson contributed his talents as the lead vocalist during the early years of While She Sleeps before parting ways in 2009. Despite this change in lineup, the band continued to evolve musically while staying true to their signature metalcore style.

Some bands play it safe when it comes to taking their next steps. But then, While She Sleeps have never been “some band”. The Sheffield quintet have made a career out of confounding expectations, be it through their dizzying blend of crushing metal, guttural hardcore and arena-worthy hooks, or the way they’ve carried themselves over an explosive, 15-year career. Their last album, 2019’s So What? was a testament to the power of self-belief and determination; it earned them award nominations from the likes of Metal Hammer and a Best Album win at the Heavy Music Awards. Now, they look to build on that success with the release of fifth studio album: Sleeps Society.

Recorded with producer Carl Bown, Sleeps Society promises to be another defiant step forwards, The album also sees some unexpected guests including Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro and Deryck Whibley from Sum 41 , with a bigger platform to get their music into the world and a firestorm of a first single released, 2021 is shaping up to be the year of While She Sleeps. For a band that have spent over a decade redefining modern metal, it seems the best is yet to come.
