Metropolis Records mourns the death of our founder and president, Dave Heckman (1954-2022). Dave passed unexpectedly on Friday, July 29th and is survived by his wife Gail, and their two children, Colin and Nina. Dave leaves behind an indelible mark on the world of underground music. In 1991 he and Gail opened Digital Underground, a record store near South Street in Philadelphia. The store found a niche importing hard to find Industrial and Darkwave CDs from Europe. This success inspired him to start Metropolis Records in 1993 with the first release arriving in 1994 with the obscure neoclassical German band LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH. Metropolis would go on to release albums by FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, KMFDM, SKINNY PUPPY, FRONT 242, JUNO REACTOR, SHE PAST AWAY, CLAN OF XYMOX, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, DELERIUM, BAUHAUS, MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE, amongst the nearly 1,300 releases to date.

Skinny Lister - Europe 2022

SKINNY LISTER are probably considered the rowdiest pack in British Folk Rock. At any rate, the sextet from London has been praised by critics and celebrated by fans with this designation for 12 years now. Since then, SKINNY LISTER have worn this title with dignity and defended it musically with their punky Folk Rock on every release.
