Charly Rinne – Producer, photographer, editor, label founder

I always liked the way he helped build the German metal scene from behind the curtain, where the real machinery usually rattles loudest. Read more...

Charly Rinne was one of the sharp-eyed fixers who helped German metal stop sounding local and start looking dangerous. I remember him as the fellow who moved with equal ease between newsroom ink, label hustle and the camera lens: first chief editor of the German Metal Hammer from 1984 to 1986, then founder of No Remorse Records in 1988, a label launched to back Blind Guardian. He worked with Blind Guardian from 1988 to 1990, with Grinder from 1988 to 1990, with Danton in 1988, and with Pyracanda, Sacrosanct, Wardance and Lawdy in 1990. In 1986 he was already leaving visual fingerprints through photography for Faithful Breath, Iron Angel, Voivod and Slayer.

The label quickly gained recognition for its willingness to explore diverse sub-genres within the heavy metal spectrum. From traditional heavy metal to thrash, power metal, and beyond, No Remorse Records became a melting pot for musicians eager to push boundaries and challenge the status quo.
