IROND Records Ltd is the leading Russian metal music records label.

IROND operates in several major fields:

• It has secured license agreements for Russia and ex-USSR countries with more than 80 foreign metal and extreme music labels to re-publish their original material. Generally, such CDs / DVDs are much more accessible for Russian listeners as they are sold at prices comparable to pirated production. Also, IROND's subsidiary Sound Age publishes some of these material in audio cassette format that still enjoys mild popularity in Russia.
• IROND works as an indie record label, subscribing artists, releasing and distributing their CDs.
• It organizes concerts, i.e. acts as a concert agency, especially for foreign artists.
• It publishes Dark City, a popular Russian magazine on metal and extreme music.
• It licenses, manufactures and sells merchandise related to bands and artists it supports.
