Mike Gitter was recently announced as Global Head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group, with particular interest in their metal, hard rock and extreme music imprint, BLKIIBLK Records.
The long running A&R man and record executive arrives at the label having signed and worked with a venerable history of genre defining artists including Lorna Shore, Killswitch Engage, Bad Religion, Orbit Culture, Starset and the Grammy winning Ice T’s Body Count during his previous A&R posts at Century Media, Roadrunner, Razor & Tie and Atlantic.
“I’m proud to announce my joining the Frontiers Label Group team and helming BLKIIBLK,” said Gitter. “Frontiers is a company of passion. The mission 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.”
Having released tentpole signings Biohazard in 2025, with thrash titans Megadeth’s self titled final album also now out on the label, BLKIIBLK has announced the signing of re amped Bay Area thrashers Forbidden, NYC hardcore institution Cro-Mags, Portland, Oregon’s gothic metal heroes Unto Others and Cleveland, Ohio’s denizens of the unholy underground, Nunslaughter.
“This is just the beginning,” said Gitter. “Expect surprises at every turn but the common denominator will remain pretty consistent. Expect everything to go for the throat.”
