Willowtip Records discography

Willowtip Records is an American independent record label based in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, that specializes in extreme metal. Jason Tipton, who founded Willowtip Records in the late 1990s,[1] owns the label. Their roster features bands from several countries, including Belgium, Canada, Germany, Finland, Italy and Sweden.[2] The label's first release was a 7-inch split extended play (EP) between Creation Is Crucifixion and Fate of Icarus, in 1999. Later that year, Willowtip released the Circle of Dead Children's full-length debut, Starving the Vultures. In 2002, the label released an EP of the "hydro-grind" band Cephalic Carnage; a single 19-minute track entitled Halls of Amenti.[3] The following year, Willowtip released Ion Dissonance's debut Breathing Is Irrelevant. In an interview, Jason Tipton stated that one of the Willowtip's most significant releases, is the 2004 re-issue for Necrophagist's Onset of Putrefaction; as the band and record label experienced some difficulties to get the rights back for the album.[1]

Bands such as Misery Index, Leng Tch'e, Capharnaum, Arsis, Neuraxis, Alarum, and Rotten Sound have released records through the label. Willowtip Records has also co-released records with labels, such as Earache Records, Candlelight Records UK—both for European distribution—and Netherlands' Neurotic Records; the last one partnership, is for North American-only distribution by Willowtip as a sub-label.[4][5][6] The label's latest releases include three grindcore bands: Afgrund, Defeatist, and Magrudergrind. Since its foundation, Willowtip has released 72 albums from 52 artists.
