Frontiers Label Group has officially launched metal, hard rock and extreme music label, BlkIIBlk Records.
The BlkIIBlk roster includes Biohazard and Megadeth, who release their self-titled final album on January 23.
Mike Gitter will lead the label at the Naples-based company as well as assume responsibilities as global head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group.
During his previous A&R posts at Century Media, Roadrunner, Razor & Tie and Atlantic, Gitter signed and worked with artists including Lorna Shore, Killswitch Engage, Bad Religion, Orbit Culture, Starset and Ice-T’s Body Count.
Mike Gitter said: “I’m proud to announce my joining the Frontiers Label Group team and helming BlkIIBlk. Frontiers is a company of passion. The mission statement is simple: to establish BlkIIBlk as a force on the heavy and extreme music spectrum that spans the gamut from the mainstays and driving forces of the genre to the most modern of metal to the grimiest of the underground. The common denominator is pushing boundaries with records and bands that are nothing short of vital, no matter what stage in their career.”
With Gitter’s joining, BlkIIBlk has announced the signing of Forbidden, Cro-Mags, Unto Others and Nunslaughter.
“This is just the beginning,” added Gitter. “Expect surprises at every turn but the common denominator will remain pretty consistent. Expect everything to go for the throat.”
After 30 years in this business, my passion for building great artists and making great records has never been stronger. BlkIIBlk is the next chapter of that story

2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Frontiers Label Group, founded in Naples, Italy by Serafino Perugino. It has evolved from an independent European operation into a global label group across rock, alternative and metal.
The company’s roster is spread over three label identities: Frontiers Music Srl (Rock), FLG (alternative) and BlkIIBlk (metal).
Frontiers Label Group has offices in Italy for administration and financial services as well as New York, Boston and Los Angeles. It has partnered with The Orchard as its worldwide distributor.
“As Frontiers Label Group enters its 30th year, we do so with a renewed and bolder spirit,” said Serafino Perugino. “BlkIIBlk is not just a label, it is a meaningful statement of intent. We aim to push boundaries, support artists with something meaningful to say, and shape a future for metal that is as powerful as its legacy. With Mike Gitter’s experience, credibility, and passion, we are launching a true home for global metal. After 30 years in this business, my passion for building great artists and making great records has never been stronger. BlkIIBlk is the next chapter of that story.”
