Frontiers Records 30th Year Celebrations

Frontiers Records, the iconic Naples-based independent record label, celebrates its 30th anniversary by looking ahead – launching new sub-labels, signing legendary artists, and preparing a landmark celebration in 2026. Founded in 1996 by Serafino Perugino in Napoli, Italy, Frontiers initially specialised in distribution of indie rock labels across the Italian market. The company, however, soon evolved into a leading global rock label, working with such important artists as Megadeth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Skunk Anansie,Van Zant, Don Felder, Def Leppard, Journey, Yes, Mr Big, Biohazard, Night Ranger, Whitesnake and ELO, while also signing and developing tomorrow’s artists. 

Today, the expanded Frontiers Label Group owns and operates the imprints Frontiers Music Srl (Mainstream and classic rock), FLG Records (Alternative music) and BLKIIBLK Records (Metal and hard rock) with global digital and physical distribution via The Orchard (Sony Music). The company is headquartered in Italy with additional executive staff in London, NY, Boston, Raleigh and Nashville. Serling Rooks Hunter McKoy Worob and Averill LLP provides legal representation in the US, with international legal under the direction of Dario De Cicco.

In an exclusive interview with Rockol MusicBiz, founder and CEO Serafino Perugino explained the spirit that shaped the label and outlines an ambitious path forward. “It’s my life. A passion born in 1996 from a vision. Thirty years later, I can say that it was a winning bet.”

“Following the release of the new Skunk Anansie album at the end of May, we’ll release a new Megadeth record between the end of this year and early 2026. Also, under BLKIIBLK, a new Biohazard album is coming. And that’s just the beginning – we’re working to build a strong, competitive catalogue alongside the main label.”

What hasn’t changed is the heart of the operation: a family-led business with global reach, built on passion and integrity.

“When you put passion first, people notice. I’m still here telling great stories -and I still want to tell many more.”

To mark the 30 years milestone, Frontiers is planning a major event in 2026 – celebrating with the people who made it all possible.

“The idea is to organise a major event here in Naples, with our full team, artists, and stakeholders. Everyone who helped us reach this milestone, built with sacrifices but also huge satisfaction. In this regard, special thanks go to The Orchard, our physical and digital distribution partner, who has always believed in us. It will be a celebration of a new, great beginning.”
