Blacklight Media is the name of a newly launched Metal Blade Records imprint that will focus on hard rock and heavy metal releases. New York City chef/restaurateur Chris Santos (Vandal, etc.) and Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel have partnered in the venture, with the first signing being Good Tiger—a band featuring ex-members of TesseracT, The Faceless and The Safety Fire. Slagel said of the venture:
“Chris Santos has been a good friend of mine for quite some time and his taste in music, as in food, is tremendous. He has turned me onto four bands who eventually signed to Metal Blade – the whole Metal Blade family is so excited to be working with him on this new venture.”

A proper retail release of Good Tiger‘s successfully crowdfunded debut album “A Head Full Of Moonlight” will arrive in stores through the label on April 22nd. You can pre-order it now via Metalblade.com. Guitarist Derya “Dez” Nagle commented:
“It’s very exciting to be working with such a driven and forward-thinking group of people. Chris and the rest of the team behind Blacklight Media are simply amazing. To be involved with the label from the offset, and chosen as their first signing is humbling. As a band we set out to create energetic, fun and interesting music, and I think those same qualities are reflected in the team we are working with.”
