Pluto Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Pluto Records is an independent record label started in 1999. It is owned and operated by Brian Cobbel and based near Dallas, TX. It is primarily known for punk, metal, and hardcore releases, although not exclusively. The label has been home to such bands as As I Lay Dying [1], HORSE the band, Luti-Kriss (Norma Jean), Society's Finest, and many more.

As I Lay Dying released their debut album, Beneath the Encasing of Ashes on Pluto Records in 2001 and also a split album with the band American Tragedy in 2002. They are now on Metal Blade Records where they have released two additional albums, 2003's Frail Words Collapse, and 2005's Shadows Are Security.

HORSE the band, who coined the term nintendocore describing their electro-metal sound, released their debut album, R. Borlax on Pluto Records in 2003. They are now on Combat Records and have released their second album, The Mechanical Hand, in 2005.

Norma Jean was on the label under their original moniker Luti-Kriss. Luti-Kriss released their first recording on Pluto Records in 1999. The band moved on to Solidstate Records where they released one album before changing their name to Norma Jean because of confusion with the rapper Ludacris.

Currently, the label's roster includes Please Mr. Gravedigger, The Jonbenet, Imperial, and Divide The Day, among many others.
