Van Richter Records continues to pave way for industrial music since '90s
Van Richter Records is a label founded by KCR alum, Paul Van Richter back in 1993. The label has been a pioneer for introducing the darker, more confrontational edge of industrial music since it began. Emerging during a time when industrial was evolving from raw experimental noise into more structured and aggressive electronic forms, the label positioned itself at the crossroads of innovation and intensity.
With a sharp focus on acts that pushed boundaries – blending elements of electronic, gothic, and metal – Van Richter Records became a key player in bringing underground European and American industrial music to a broader audience. It stood apart by championing quality music that challenged norms and reflected the genre’s core themes.
As the music industry underwent massive changes with the rise of the internet and digital distribution, Van Richter Records adapted without losing its core identity by preserving rare releases while continuing to introduce bold new voices. Today, the label remains a vital presence in the industrial scene. Van Richter Records stands as a vital archive and living force in the ever-evolving industrial sound.
