Rottweiler Records
Rottweiler Records is a Christian metal record label based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. The label features bands such as Lust Control,[2] Soul Embraced,[3] and Pantokrator.[4] The label started early on as a label that served punk rock, but has become a label that serves metal and punk. It is a Christian label, and therefore many of its artists are as well.[1] The label was created by Shawn Browning, also known as Wretched of Grave Robber.[5] Many bands on the label have placed high on CMW's charts and have had many positive reviews.[6] The label participates in several compilations, including Kill the Ill a benefit comp for Rottweiler's owner Shawn Browning,[7] and Metal Pulse: A Tribute to Dale Huffman.[8]

The label recently formed their own subsidiary, known as Nosral Recordings, with Frost Like Ashes guitarist Mike Larson heading it up. The label will serve as an extreme metal label primarily.[10] It was later announced that the label became a sister label and is no longer considered a subsidiary.
