Alfie Falckenbach, was a Belgian music producer and entrepreneur who helped wire the European heavy metal underground into something that could actually be heard outside its own rehearsal room. In 1982 he founded Mausoleum Records, the Belgian label that became a major launchpad for hard rock and metal across Europe, and he later built the wider Music Avenue universe, including Blues Boulevard for the blues side of his musical brain. I think of him as a rare breed: the businessman who still understood the sweat, the riffs, and the messy human part of making records, which is probably why he also performed as the frontman of Blues Karloff (vocals, 2014-2016). He died on March 1, 2016 after a long illness.
