About Seven Deadly Sins Records
The Real Story Behind the Label
No bullshit. No empty promises. Just the honest truth about what we are, what we do, and what we can actually deliver for metal bands who want to say they're signed to a label.
🤖 Full Transparency
This entire website was generated by Claude AI (Anthropic) in December 2024.
We believe in complete honesty. The website design, content, and structure were created using AI assistance to establish a professional online presence for our label. The content about Rages of Sin and our services accurately reflects reality.
🎯 What Seven Deadly Sins Records Actually Is
7DS Records started out of necessity, not grand ambition. When Rages of Sin began self-releasing their music on streaming platforms, they needed something to put in the "record label" field on Spotify and other services. Rather than leave it blank or make something up, Seven Deadly Sins Records was born.
Here's the thing about record labels: you don't need to register anywhere to be one. You don't need an office, employees, or million-dollar budgets. If you release music and call yourself a record label, you legally are one. That's exactly what we did, and that's exactly what we are – a real record label with realistic expectations.
🤘 The Metal Attitude is Real
The attitude on this site isn't parody or pretense – it's genuine passion for extreme metal. We may be small, but our commitment to the music and culture is absolutely serious. Metal deserves respect, even from a one-band label that started by accident.
📈 Room to Grow
Today we're basically a distribution service with attitude. Tomorrow? Who knows. If bands want to work with us and we can provide value, we're open to growing. But we'll never promise more than we can deliver.
⚡ What We Actually Offer
Realistic services for realistic expectations. We're not going to transform your career overnight, but we can help you get your music out there with the credibility of being "label-signed."
-
🎵 Music Distribution
We can get your music onto all major streaming platforms: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and more. This is our core service and what we actually know how to do well. You record it, we make sure it reaches listeners worldwide through digital distribution networks. -
🏷️ Label Credit
Your music gets released under the Seven Deadly Sins Records name. You can legitimately say you're signed to a label, because you are. It's not Universal Music Group, but it's real, and it's something to put on your press materials and streaming service credits. -
🌐 Basic Online Presence
Your music and band info gets featured on our website and social media (when we get that set up). It's not a massive promotional campaign, but it's professional presentation and additional online visibility for your band and releases. -
❌ What We DON'T Do (Yet)
We don't have recording studios, tour booking services, major label connections, marketing budgets, radio promotion, or industry insider access. We don't have A&R staff, talent scouts, or development programs. We're honest about our limitations because respect starts with truth. -
🤝 Partnership Potential
If your band brings something to the table – promotional skills, industry connections, additional resources – we're open to discussing more collaborative arrangements. We're not just a service; we're open to actual partnerships with the right artists. -
💰 Fair Financial Terms
We're not looking to get rich off your music. Distribution costs are covered, fair revenue splits are negotiated per release, and there are no hidden fees or surprise charges. We make money when your music makes money, not before.
🎯 Our Philosophy: Metal with Integrity
🔥 Authenticity Over Hype
We'd rather be honest about our limitations than lie about our capabilities. The metal scene has enough bullshit artists and fake promises. We prefer authentic relationships with realistic expectations over overpromising and underdelivering.
🤘 Small But Serious
Being small doesn't mean being unprofessional or uncommitted. We take our artists seriously, handle business professionally, and treat every release with respect. Size isn't everything – attitude and integrity are.
📈 Growth Through Value
We'll only expand our services when we can actually deliver quality results. No fake marketing departments or pretend industry connections. If we grow, it'll be because we're genuinely providing more value to artists.
🌍 Global Reach, Humble Roots
Through digital distribution, we can get your music to listeners worldwide. That's genuinely global reach, even from our humble Dutch base. The internet makes everyone equal when it comes to music distribution.
🎸 How It All Started: The Rages of Sin Origin
The Accidental Label
Rages of Sin needed a label name for Spotify. That's literally how this started. When you upload music to streaming services, there's a required field for "record label." You can't leave it blank, and "Self-Released" looks unprofessional. So Seven Deadly Sins Records was created to fill that field.
What began as a necessary fiction became a real thing. The band started getting asked about their "label," other musicians inquired about signing, and before we knew it, we were actually operating as a record label. Not by design, but by evolution.
🎵 Real Band, Real Music
Rages of Sin is absolutely real – a Dutch melodic death metal band from The Hague that's been making music since 2009. Their albums "Divergence" and "Saligia 2.1" are actual releases available on all streaming platforms. The music and the passion are completely authentic.
📜 Legal Reality
In most countries, including the Netherlands, there's no formal registration required to operate as a record label. If you release music and call yourself a label, you are one. 7DS Records is legally legitimate, even if we started small and stay realistic about our scope.

✅ Perfect If You Want
• Label credibility for your streaming releases and press materials

The Bottom Line
We're a real record label with realistic services.
If that fits what you need, we'd love to talk. If you're looking for major label treatment or unrealistic promises, we're definitely not the right fit – and we respect you enough to tell you that upfront.

"Real metal doesn't need fake promises – it speaks for itself."
