Legendary US metal label and very longtime HardRadio friends and supporters COMBAT RECORDS is to be relaunched this year under the new ownership. Formerly run by Megadeth's David Ellefson, the iconic record label was responsible for early releases by Megadeth, Exodus and Agnostic Front amongst many others and is considered among the most influential and important of the early US metal labels. Combat Records will now be run under the new ownership of independent movie producers Alex Stojak and Robert Dujmusic from its new office in Gottingen, Germany.
