History

edit

Reigning Phoenix Music was launched on July 18, 2023, by Gerardo Martinez, former manager of Nuclear Blast America, and German entrepreneur Sven Bogner.[1] Shortly after its formation, the label signed a one-album deal with the death metal band Deicide.[2] In October 2023, Jochen Richert, ex-managing director of AFM Records and Soulfood Distribution, joined Reigning Phoenix's management team.[3]

In January 2024, RPM announced that it would be integrating Atomic Fire Records and sub-label Fire Flash Records—along with the rosters of both labels—into their label.[4][5]
