ABOUT US:

If your heart beats to the sound of fuzzed-out riffs, thunderous grooves, and the raw soul of underground rock, then welcome home. Glory or Death Records, straight outta Oceanside, California, is here to melt faces and spin wax like it’s a sacred ritual.

Founded in 2016 by three die-hard rock disciples — Buddy Donner, Jeff Wilson, and Tyler “T-Sweat” Dingvell — Glory or Death was born with one mission: to champion the hardest-working, loudest, and most genuine bands in the underground.

We don’t just release music — we press underground gems onto wax, the real deal: limited-edition, color-blasted, analog soul slabs that are made to be played loud and loved forever. Check out our official releases with Mos Generator, Formula 400, and Sea of Snakes — bands that bring the heat with massive tone and riffs for days.

And that’s just the beginning. Our "Friends & Family" compilation series brings together killer cuts, unreleased bangers, and deep tracks from some of the finest in the scene. It's not just a collection — it’s a full-blown celebration of heavy music in its purest form.

If it’s heavy, fuzzy, and honest — we’re in.

Glory or Death isn’t just a record label. It’s a community. A movement. A loud, sweaty, riff-fueled cult built for those who still believe in rock and roll as a way of life.

Live gloriously or die trying.
