It really thrills me how many enthusiastic, super devoted people are active in the worldwide heavy music community. As if it wouldn’t be enough to play in rad bands, a lot of dudes and dudettes also release records on their own labels, being totally independent of the music industry and its shitty rules. Rick from CVLT Nations’s favourite Liverpudlian Sludge monsters IRON WITCH has recently started a label as well, titled BAITIN THE TRAP RECORDS. With a pretty wide focus BTTR is going to unleash heavy bands from all sub-genres onto the masses: Sludge, Grind, Metal, Hardcore, Punk – it’s all going to be in the mix. So better keep your eyes peeled for this and let yourself be introduced to the first two releases further down!
Here’s what Rick himself has to say about BAITIN THE TRAP RECORDS:
The reason behind starting the label was simply the thought of not being involved with music in some way or another, is depressing as fuck. Coming home from the 9-5 and having nothing to do other than wait to go back in the next day. I love hearing new bands and new records so it made sense to do it. It’s been on my mind for a few years but until now I haven’t really had the time.

The first release is already in the pipeline: Grind-Sludge-crossover newcomers CORRUPT MORAL ALTAR are the first band to put out a record on BTTR. Needle Drugs is the title of this EP, which will be released as a very limited CD (150 pcs) in January 2013. The band consists of members of bands like The Magpyes, Salem Rages, Horse Bastard and Malevolent Creation and is really exceptionally sick, convince yourself:
Furthermore a rerelease of IRON WITCH’s Single Malt EP is planned. This one is going to be out on 12″ vinyl, limited to 300 copies on whiskey coloured wax. This will be seeing the light of day around March 2013. I guess there’s no need to tell you CVLT followers any more about IRON WITCH (check out the interview here, and the reviews of Single Malt and Post Vegas Blues).
