Rottweiler Records is a Christian metal record label based out of Dallas, Texas, United States. The label features bands such as Lust Control,[2] Soul Embraced,[3] The Jericho Harlot, and Pantokrator.[4] The label started early on as a label that served punk rock, but has become a label that serves metal and punk. It is a Christian label, and therefore many of its artists are as well.[1] The label was created by Shawn Browning, also known as Wretched of Grave Robber.[5] Many bands on the label have placed high on CMW's charts and have had many positive reviews.[6] The label participates in several compilations, including Kill the Ill a benefit comp for Rottweiler's owner Shawn Browning,[7] and Metal Pulse: A Tribute to Dale Huffman.[8]
