Beware Of The Fakers!!!
It has come to our attention that certain people are disguising their blog site as a “Kosher Metal” blog site. For example “One Of Those Kosher Metal Blogs” - this site has NOTHING to do with us.
This is our ONLY blog site, if we get another one then we will let you know.
Just thought we’d clear that up.

Of course, we definitely encourage independent bands to submit content as well.”
Relapse Records was founded in 1990 by Matthew F. Jacobson in his parents’ basement and has continued to grow and sign influential artists from a broad range of genres. Relapse Records specializes in various types of heavy metal ranging from stoner rock and hardcore, through grindcore and death metal all the way to retro thrash, and doom metal.
Kosher Metal is an online radio station that can be heard via the web along with most mobile devices, the term “kosher” is used in its informal/slang form to mean “genuine, authentic & legitimate”. What began as a weekly radio program in June 2010 became a 24 hour operation in April of 2011 and Kosher Metal continues to evolve with growth. The station recently sponsored the national Zephyr US Tour 2011 featuring the band Ana Kefr. Kosher Metal founder and on-air personality, ManJewky, is also a graduate of the Music Business Program at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Ca.
