Executive Producers:
Alfie Falckenbach
- Executive Producer
Alfie Falckenbach – Producer, label founder, entrepreneurBelgian metal mover, Mausoleum boss, and one of those label names I always notice in the sleeve credits. Read more... Alfie Falckenbach was a Belgian producer, label founder, and entrepreneur who gave European heavy metal a proper doorway instead of another damp rehearsal-room wall. I place him in the thick of the early 1980s, founding Mausoleum Records in 1982 with the label’s first run burning through 1982–1986 before its later revival from 1990–2016. Through Mausoleum he pushed bands such as Killer, Ostrogoth, Warlock, Anvil, Faithful Breath, Omen, and Nazareth into wider circulation. Later he built Music Avenue and Blues Boulevard, proving his ears were not welded shut at metal volume. He even stepped up as singer with Blues Karloff from 2014–2016. Not bad for a man usually spotted in the small print.
Stonne Holmgren
- Executive Producer
Stonne Holmgren – Mausoleum Records co-founderI file him under “quiet architects”: the kind of person who doesn’t need a guitar solo to change the scene, because co-founding Mausoleum Records meant helping give Belgian heavy metal an actual launch ramp. Read more... Stonne Holmgren, was co-founder of the Belgian record company Mausoleum Records, and that alone tells me he was more about building the machine than standing in the spotlight. In my head, he belongs to that early-1980s moment when small, stubborn labels could turn local noise into something that traveled across borders and ended up in collectors’ hands decades later. When it comes to “performed with bands,” I mostly run into his name on the label side rather than in band line-ups; if he had a performing chapter, it’s not a widely documented one compared to his Mausoleum role.
