"Metal Blade was kicking ass and taking names in the metal scene and had no budget. I respect the hustle. I feel like there’s a lot of quiet subtext present on how much of an influence Latin Americans had on various forms of metal coming out of Cali in the 80s/90s Tom Araya & Slayer being one of the best selling, most discussed & most innovative. Brian Slagel is humble and realistic about the reach of small labels." — Mar 16, 2026 08:14AM

In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? -
With silence and tears”
