Jawbreaker Records 10 Years Anniversary!
Time flies, Jawbreakers, and it is now 10 years since the release of the very first tape (Stormdeath’s Promodeath EP) on Jawbreaker Records. As we now enter the second decade of Jawbreaker’s existence, it is time to announce a change of strategy that has slowly matured over the years. The new strategy will lead to a slightly more slimmed down roster of bands, but in return we will be able to work much more closely and long-term with every artist on the label. In addition to this we will continue to do occasional handpicked standalone releases as well, but to a much lesser degree than in the past. The label’s musical focus will be even more centered around Heavy Metal and Speed Metal – in my personal opinion the purest forms of heavy music. To mark this change, we are hereby happy to present our new logotype, carefully crafted by Turborock Productions.

To give a taste of what the future has to offer, we are also proud to unveil two new releases that have just been put up for pre-order. One is the opening demo by a multitalented young starshot Speed Metal artist with a bright future ahead of him. The other new release is an exclusive version of an old and beloved 80s classic. Together, these two releases gives a good overview of the new direction we hope to take Jawbreaker in over the next 10 years and beyond.
|
MANACE is a Heavy/Speed metal entity consisting on this demo solely of one young and hungry maniac by the name of Marlon – a personal friend of mine and a dedicated maniac that I believe has a bright future ahead. The music of MANACE must be likened to the glorious master era of U.S. Metal, not as a carbon copy, but by finding paths into new territory in the same way as the legendary acts of the 80s did. The result is an intricate and flowing musical landscapes of mindbending loops and powerful hooks that should delight any fans of Savage Grace, Omen, Warlord or Chastain.
|
The other new release is nothing less than the first ever official cassette release of TRÖJAN and their 1985 masterpiece Chasing the Storm. A timeless classic of brilliant Power/Speed/Heavy Fucking Metal from the U.K.!
|
Both these tapes are now up for pre-order at jawbreaker.se – together with the first ever Jawbreaker t-shirts, of corpse bearing the new logo.

Thank you for the past decade, Jawbreakers! Your support means so much to me, and I don’t mean simply in economical terms. I have made so many friends, gotten so many smiles and handshakes all over the world, sometimes a beer or a demo tape…. This is what makes all the hard work so worth it! THANK YOU, JAWBREAKERS! As we march together into the unknown times of the future, remember this: As long as we stand united, we shall never fall! Long live the underground!!!

Tröjan – Chasing the Storm
Jawbreaker Records are very proud to announce the first ever official cassette release of TRÖJAN and their 1985 masterpiece Chasing the Storm. A timeless classic of brilliant Power/Speed/Heavy Fucking Metal from the U.K.!
|
Anyone who is reading this probably knows this album very well, but in case you don’t let us tell you that it’s a record firmly rooted in the NWOBHM but with speed/power metal vibes and super-fast solos and melodic guitar parts plus soaring, relatively high-pitched vocals. All this combined with impressive and catchy songwriting makes Chasing the Storm a timeless classic that finally gets its well-deserved cassette treatment!

Limited to 100 copies on yellow tape and 200 copies on red tape.

The 5-track demo tape Mischievous Dreams tells the story of a man trapped inside endless nightmares, being stalked by a malicious creature, while tying to escape this mischievous dream. Will he find his ways through these twisted realities? Feel the gashing wounds caused by these five blows of the Heavy Metal sword forged with teutonic precision and evil intention. “We’ll meet again in your haunted dreams…”

Limited to 50 copies on clear red tape and 150 copies on clear blue tape. Both versions come with a digital download code and a reversible cover sleeve, so you can choose between the standard and the alternative cover artwork as you please.
