The noise began in 1982… Founded upon owner Brian Slagel’s enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success.
Aware that it is only through the support of fans who share this passion that the label has been able to flourish, Slagel is equally grateful for the devotion of metalheads everywhere. “At the end of the day I just want to thank everybody out there who has supported the label and all the bands over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn’t do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you.

Metal Blade x Paladar ‘Reposado Tequila’ has officially arrived!
Paladar harvests Blue Weber agave on their own farms, roasts and pine-box ferments the agave with wild and proprietary yeast and distills it in a steel pot still for a rustic and rounded taste. Paladar is an homage to the traditions and volcanic land of Mexico, with a futurist take on this ancient category.
