Executive Producers:
Alfie Falckenbach
- Executive Producer
Alfie Falckenbach – Producer, label founder, entrepreneurI always clock his name when I spot the Mausoleum logo in the wild: the guy didn’t just push metal forward from the office chair, he even stepped up front as the singer of Blues Karloff (vocals, 2014-2016). Read more... 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.
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.
