The label was founded in 2002 by Matt Hunt, who had previously operated a small label called Magdalene Records. Originally intended to reissue classic Christian metal, the label has since grown to sign new artists, release original albums by those artists,[1] and release other genres of music.[2] They have also started and acquired several smaller labels.[3]
