Psych.KG
Psych.KG is a German independent label based in Euskirchen .
Development of the label
Psych.KG was founded in 2003 and emerged from the parent label Multi National Disaster Records (1991-2008). Both labels initially ran in parallel and were merged in 2008 under the name Psych.KG.
From the beginning, it was important that the cover art is almost impossible to copy. Almost 90% of all publications are handcrafted. Covers made of handmade paper, leather, slate, wood and metal are still handcrafted today.
Almost all of the recordings are hand-numbered and limited.
The various sub-labels belong to the label:
- uck (2000–2001)
- Sick Art Products (2004–2009)
- Domestic Violence Recordings (active since 2008)
- Nagrania Brutalnie Domowy (2009-2014)
- E-Klageto (2013 assigned to the Psych.KG label)
- REHORN (active since 2015)
