About
Our Association
Sleeping Church Records is a metal music label dedicated to distribution and production. It was founded in 2017 as a non-profit association (Law of 1901) by three active members of the doom metal scene (Presumption and Father Merrin).
The label mainly explores doom and sludge metal sounds, but also ventures into death metal and certain shades of black metal. True to its open-minded spirit, the Sleeping Church also embraces occasional detours into grindcore and related genres closely connected to its musical universe.
