Prosthetic Records Bought By MNRK Music Group

MNRK Music Group has acquired long-running metal label Prosthetic Records. What this means for the long terms is unclear, though MNRK notes they're moving the label to operate under the MNRK Heavy umbrella. Which kinda sucks considering how classic Prosthetic Records has been within the metal community, but that's business I guess.

"Prosthetic Records has been a trailblazer in the metal scene," said Scott Givens, MNRK's SVP of Rock & Metal. "This acquisition is a strategic step in MNRK's continued investment in heavy music and aligns perfectly with our vision for MNRK Heavy."

The press release further notes: "MNRK Heavy plans to amplify the legacy of Prosthetic Records through a dynamic strategy that encompasses digital platforms, physical formats, and special releases. Fans can look forward to anniversary reissues, meticulously remastered editions, and curated collections that celebrate the label’s storied history.

"As part of the integration, select artists will transition within the MNRK family, while new talent will join the expanding roster—ushering in an era of bold creativity and sonic exploration."

Prosthetic Records was founded in 1998 and has been a driving force in the metal world, with landmark releases from influential acts including Lamb of God, The Acacia Strain, Septicflesh, Venom Prison, and many more.
