'SPV- 25 & Alive' Compilation Due This Month

SPV Records has set an October 30 German reelase date (November 2 in the rest of Europe) for "SPV- 25 & Alive", a special sampler for a special year.

In 1984, SPV and Steamhammer were founded. Steamhammer immediately signed two influential bands — SODOM and DESTRUCTION — and SPV finalized distribution deals with such labels as Metal Blade, Century Media, Roadrunner and Noise.

Oer the years, SPV and Steamhammer gained more and more success with signings like MOTÖRHEAD, DIO, HELLOWEEN, WHITESNAKE and ALICE COOPER and new distribution labels like InsideOut and Epitaph.

Times are hard and SPV had to suffer from an insolvency in May this year. But with a clever insolvency company, help from Sony Music and the power of the people working at the firm, SPV is getting back on its feet.
