Unholy metal slab Batman! Relapse Records is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a ton of events, including a free digital compilation release of over 180 tracks from their roster! 180+ TRACKS!

Relapse will be publicly celebrating its silver anniversary at next year's Maryland Death Fest alongside current and former Relapse artists Amorphis (playing Tales From The Thousand Lakes in its entirety), Obituary, Neurosis, Suffocation, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Cephalic Carnage, Primitive Man, YOB, Tombs, Devourment, Origin, Skinless, Inverloch, Inter Arma, Serpentine Path, and Noisear.

Relapse Records was founded by Matthew Jacobson in 1990, and the label quickly became one of the most celebrated and influential underground labels in heavy music history. Here’s what founder Matt Jacobson had to say about the occasion:

"In 1990 I started Relapse as a teenager in my parents’ basement. It was a dream with a simple mission: to share the music that I was so passionate about with as many people as possible. Over the course of 25 years we have had the honor of working with a diverse array of amazing artists and releasing a vast catalog of incredible records that includes numerous influential and genre defining albums. We are very proud that we have been able to bring the music that we love to a global audience."
