Thinking Metal is an independent record label based in the North East of England. The label was formed in 1995 and currently represents T-Bass, SkinMechanix and Ion.
Our main activity is managing works by our signed artists. However, we are constantly on the look out for new artists to join our family. If you feel you have what we're after then drop us a line.
We're about honesty, integrity and the desire to boogie the night away to the best possible music on the planet.
We're passionate about music. We're passionate about artists and getting a fair deal for all.
Come and join the party.
Ion are primarily focussed on soundtrack work and synchronisation licensing. Their music has featured on a wide range of projects - from small, minority interest podcasts, to medium budget relaxation vidoes and even a couple of (modest) Hollywood movies.
SkinMechanix are heavyweight, industrial art-house shockers. They're our prodigal son. They do their own thing.
They're a bit scary, frankly.
We're huge film fans. We've been making our own promotional movies for twenty years, learning the skills, slowly improving our technique and building up a healthy array of production tools. Last year, we began experimenting with animation and a few off-the-wall production techniques, which makes us unique in this region.
We've produced promo videos for a range of clients large and small, most recently for The Hoppings, which is Europe's largest travelling fun fair.
We're also huge technology geeks. We design, prototype and manufacture our own instruments - mostly sequencers & synthesisers - as well as experimenting with alternative techniques for creating and manipulating sound and vide.
Take a LookAll of our titles are available for immediate download over on our Bandcamp page. If you really want to help support independent artists then Bandcamp are the Mutt's Nuts as far as we're concerned.
However, we do still stock CDs from our back catalogue.
