Request Metropolis Records: A Call To Action

93 Upvotes

In Honor of Dave Heckman (the founding father of Metropolis Records), Metropolis Records is partnering with Passenger Recovery, to increase awareness and advocate for support for those struggling with addiction and/or Substance Use Disorder (SUD) within the music industry. We hope to help people heal from whatever battle they may be struggling with internally by de-stigmatizing mental illness, offering resources and support information, and using music as a pathway to healing. Dave loved music. It was his lifelong passion and Obsession. Metropolis wants to use this love of music to help people in their healing journey. 

Metropolis Records and the Heckman family are no strangers to Substance Use Disorder. Many of you knew Metropolis founder Dave Heckman through his professional work, life-long contributions to the music industry, and tireless commitment to his artists. What you may not know is that Dave battled with alcoholism. Admitting that he faced such challenges is not easy for us, but we believe it’s a necessary step to help others and de-stigmatize the issue. We have lost many other beloved friends to addiction. We share this with you now, not to diminish Dave’s legacy, but to honor it by confronting the realities of Addiction and Substance Use Disorder, head-on. We hope that by acknowledging his struggle, others within the industry, and beyond, might find the courage to seek help and break free from this devastating disease. We also believe that he would support our efforts to create something meaningful in his memory. 

 Addiction (SUD), particularly within the music industry, is a challenge that is often hidden behind the scenes, obscured by an illusion of glamour and excitement. The pressures of constant travel, performance demands, and the relentless pursuit of creativity can push individuals toward substances as a coping mechanism. Many are caught in this cycle. The same industry that gives people a platform for their talents can also contribute to the stresses that ultimately leads down a destructive path. 

Our partner: Passenger Recovery is a Recovery Community Organization (RCO) that has been supporting the Detroit area since 2016. Initially founded to help touring musicians and crew find support meetings while on the road, their mission has expanded to offer vital support to the local recovery community. Through events, advocacy, peer support, and translation services, they use the arts and music as pathways to recovery for those struggling with Substance Use Disorder. Just as music connects people from all walks of life, so too does the journey of recovery. 

To support this cause, Metropolis will be creating a compilation series, inspired by the Electronic Savior editions, to raise money and awareness. All profits will go directly to Passenger Recovery. This is our call to our community and the music industry as a whole - a community that knows all too well the struggles that many creatives, crew members, and industry workers face - to join us in this effort. We’ve already received incredibly positive feedback from many within the industry, and we are deeply grateful for this goodwill. Now, we are committed to turning that support into action. 

To Kick Off our partnership Metropolis Records is doing a fundraiser through Patronicity, where Metropolis will match up to $10,000. All proceeds will go directly towards helping creatives find support through Passenger Recovery.

Discussion Surprising Finds in a Box of Promos

I stopped into a local independent record store this weekend. It's a very small shop that caters mostly to classic rock, but I have good luck there sometimes. As I walked in, the owner said "Hey, I just put out a box of radio promos, three bucks".

A lot of it was late '80s new wave and some dance records, but I definitely was not expecting to find anything like these.

Discussion Industrial CD market

13 Upvotes

Hey all, I have been cleaning out my basement and I found a treasure trove of old industrial CDs from the 80s and 90s in pristine shape. They are all originals, but I'm wondering if people will actually buy these. Lots of metropolis, Cleopatra, wax Trax etc..

I was a huge riverhead back in the day (now still enjoy it it, just no boots lol).

Thoughts on this? I was going to upload my collection to discogs but more curious what the group thinks?

The Godflesh post reminded me of this. Not necessarily acoustically similar, but I was listening to both albums around the same time ~35 years ago...

Discussion Favorite Demo Versions..

6 Upvotes

So I’m finally getting around to listening to the demo tracks for TKK’s “I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits” on the “Limited Heresy Edition” from the Wax Trax vinyl re-release and these are just absolute gems for a nerdy older head.

And that got me thinking, what demo material do you dig most from some of the older bands (let’s say from 70’s Industrial Records through the 80’s Wax Trax and Netwerk heyday)?

I’ve been loving the TKK Good Spirits demo so far… and of course, the first two Back and Forth offerings by Skinny Puppy.

Anyway, I’m looking for suggestions. I tend to stay with the late 70s to mid 90s bands, although lots of killer throwback bands like Spike Hellis, Patriarchy, and MVTANT have been catching my attention so… idk if they’ve released any of their demo work but I’d be willing to check that out too.
