Full Moon Productions is a record company started in May 1991 by Jon "Thorns" Jamshid from Lakeland, Florida. After releasing the first issue of Petrified 'zine, Thorns decided to sign several black metal bands which included Burzum, Hades (later known as Hades Almighty), Algaion, Nåstrond and Vlad Tepes. During this time he worked closely with Count Grishnackh of Burzum and Euronymous of Mayhem. Soon FMP signed Mysticum, Black Funeral, Abruptum, Swordmaster and others.
Petrified 'zine continued for several issues containing several explicit interviews with Count Grishnackh of Burzum and Bard Faust of Emperor, plus many obscure underground black metal interviews and reviews. The magazine was mentioned in Lords of Chaos as one of the most fanatical underground magazines to support black metal.
In the late 1990s Full Moon Productions put out the Tribute To Hell Satanic Rites compilation CD. This double included tracks by Mayhem, Acheron, Thy Infernal, Tartaros, Centurian, Swordmaster, Outbreak, Naglfar, Thy Primordial, Sarcamentum and others. The cover was done by Joe Petagno, who is known for the Motörhead artwork.
Full Moon Productions relocated to South Denver (Parker), Colorado in May 2006.
Full Moon Productions is still active today.
