Metal Mind Productions (MMP) is a Polish record label founded in 1987. The label focuses on rock and heavy metal. MMP is also publisher of Metal Hammer, the largest and the oldest heavy metal magazine. As a concert agency, it organises Metalmania, the largest heavy metal event in Central–Eastern Europe, and it organised over 1000 concerts, including Monsters of Rock in Poland, 1991.
Metal Mind Productions over the years became the subject of criticism from such bands as Malevolent Creation, Enter Chaos, Behemoth and Moonlight among others, for releasing unauthorized records and lack of professionalism.[1][2][3] They purchased rights for several albums from Empire Records that include titles from such bands as Totem,[4] Sammath Naur, Dissenter,[5]Deivos,[6] Archeon,[7] Spinal Cord,[8] Demise,[9] Naumachia,[10] and Pyorrhoea.[11] and re-released them in 2007 and 2008 although the musicians were not informed about the deal and were unable to contact Metal Mind.[10]
