It only made sense for the iconic record label responsible for helping launch some of the world’s most mammoth metal artists and unleashing some of the heaviest riffs and blast beats in the universe, to collab with #metalcoffee disruptors Concept Cafes, who have already partnered with Metal Blade artists such as the legendary Cannibal Corpse to unleash their own beasts of brewdom.
This creatively unique concept itself follows the lineage of the blade, from its infancy in the early 80′s when heavy metal fantasy was a relatively unexplored dominion, all the way through to the present-day Jolly Roger sabers of this modern era of Metalcore & Deathcore. This first installment sips like an issue of Heavy Metal Magazine, as it draws inspiration from the early Metallica monster, a young prodigious Yngwie, D&D, Star Wars, & many others.
The coffee itself is as mythically prophetic as the immersive packaging art, that tastes just as ferociously fervent as the picture painted. You will expect nothing less from the masterful craftsmanship of the forging partner of Concepts: Coterie Coffee Co.
“When the grind of metal meets the grind of beans, you get a brew that’s as bold and unrelenting as the riffs that define us. Our collaboration with Concept Cafes isn’t just about coffee-it’s about forging a new kind of energy for the hardcore listener who needs the perfect blend of caffeine and chaos. Plus, we really, really love coffee in the office so our team couldn’t be happier to release Metal Blade’s first Official Private Label Coffee onto the metal realm with the help of our friends at Concept Cafes.” – The Metal Blade Team
“Actually, in a kinda organic roundabout way, I guess you could say we’ve evolved into kinda a coffee record company ourselves; so it would only make sense the eventuality that we’d collaborate with an actual record co., and whom not better to do so with than the almighty Metal Blade Records. Not only is it extremely important for us to humbly honor the MBR legacy, but it’s always at the forefront for us to help steward this legacy for the next generation(s) as well as bringing new fans to Metal. It’s a bold step for sure (pun intended), but we all agreed, a step in the right direction to broaden the reach of Metal, so enthusiasts can dive headfirst into the rich history and epic discography of this record label pioneer…the Blade is as sharp as ever (so don’t cut yourself…especially on that guillotine)!” – Concept Cafes
