Frontiers Label Group Launches BLKIIBLK Records

Frontiers Label Group is proud to announce the launch of its metal, hard rock and extreme music label, BLKIIBLK Records.

Having released tentpole signings, Biohazard in 2025, with thrash titans, Megadeth, unleashing their much anticipated, self-titled final album on January 23rd, Frontiers is taking a brash next step with BLKIIBLK.

Joining the team at the Naples, Italy-based company is long-running A&R man and record executive, Mike Gitter, who will lead the label as well as assume responsibilities as Global Head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group.

Gitter arrives at the label, having signed and worked with a venerable history of genre-defining artists, including Lorna Shore, Killswitch Engage, Bad Religion, Orbit Culture, Starset, and the Grammy-winning Ice-T’s Body Count, at his previous A&R posts at Century Media, Roadrunner, Razor & Tie, and Atlantic.

Says Gitter:

“I’m proud to announce my joining the Frontiers Label Group team and helming BLKIIBLK. Frontiers is a company of passion. The mission statement is simple: to establish BLKIIBLK as a force on the heavy and extreme music spectrum that spans the gamut from the mainstays and driving forces of the genre to the most modern of metal to the grimiest of the underground. The common denominator is pushing boundaries with records and bands that are nothing short of vital, no matter what stage in their career.”

With Gitter’s joining, BLKIIBLK proudly announces the signing of re-amped Bay Area thrashers, Forbidden, NYC hardcore institution Cro-Mags, Portland, Oregon’s gothic metal heroes, Unto Others, and Cleveland, Ohio’s denizens of the unholy underground, Nunslaugther.

Gitter adds:

“This is just the beginning. Expect surprises at every turn, but the common denominator will remain pretty consistent. Expect everything to go for the throat.”

2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Frontiers Label Group, founded in Napoli, Italy, by Serafino Perugino. Born from a passion for rock music and artist development, Frontiershas evolved from a fiercely independent European operation into a global label group, shaping careers, revitalizing legends, and building new creative platforms across rock, alternative, and metal.

Today, its roster is spread over three distinct label identities: Frontiers Music Srl (Rock), FLG (Alternative), and BLKIIBLK (Metal).

Frontiers Label Group has worked closely with worldwide distributor The Orchard, an alliance that has been instrumental in the label’s growth.

Perugino comments:

“As Frontiers Label Group enters its thirtieth year, we do so with a renewed and bolder spirit. BLKIIBLK is not just a label; it is a meaningful statement of intent. We aim to push boundaries, support artists with something meaningful to say, and shape a future for metal that is as powerful as its legacy. With Mike Gitter’s experience, credibility, and passion, we are launching a true home for global metal. After thirty years in this business, my passion for building great artists and making great records has never been stronger. BLKIIBLK is the next chapter of that story.”

Now, with BLKIIBLK and Gitter’s joining, Frontiers Label Group moves to decidedly heavier ground.
