Death Rattle Records is a curated store, blog, and independent platform revolving around metal music and its subcultures, built for those who love heavy.

What started as a personal connection to heavy music has driven the creation of this platform, a place to find all the things you love. No sifting through the noise—just straight metal, merch, news, reviews, and much more. This is the place for the sounds, visuals, and culture that don’t always have a place.

We focus primarily on metal in all its forms—death, black, doom, thrash, heavy, etc.—while also embracing the edges where it intersects with punk and goth. These genres I am personally passionate about.

At its core, Death Rattle is about curation.

Every record, every feature, every piece of content is chosen with intention. Not just what’s popular, but what’s worth the listen.

This isn’t about mass consumption. It’s about discovery.

Alongside vinyl and merchandise, Death Rattle exists as an archive and personal blog—documenting bands, releases, live shows, and the atmosphere that surrounds them.

Built from the ground up, this is a space that will continue to grow with the scene it represents,

If you’re here, you’re part of it.

See you in the pit. — Karlee Roberts
