Altered State Records

"With our powers combined, we are behind the scenes, putting forth the effort to retain our independence from the outer influence of big business and corporate scumbags."

Who are we?

Altered State Records is an independent record label that prides itself in being what we can be in this, current moment of uncertain, unstable and unexplainable situation of life.

What do we do?

We are a label that promotes experimental sound waves with various formations of past, present and future musical foundations, that provides inspiration and support to those who are willing to put themselves on the line to expand and affect change.

Why do we do it?

To abandon the superficial elements of commercial music business. To re-establish the simplicity of music, to have fun, because there is so much more out there than imaginable, and to be able to promote music and reach out to things with an explorative consciousness just fills us with an unbelievable joy.

Our Beliefs.

We believe that music is about the music, not about all the other concerns that are currently eating away at, what is not so important. We believe in freedom and expression, that there are no limits to the creative realm.

Our Goal?

To keep things simple and honest, to bring real music back into the mainstream, by taking over the airwaves with music that is made for music's sake not for mass profit . We want to help those who are zombitized with some corporation's idea of what popular music is and bring them back around to music that is other than "pretty people singing to prearranged-musical-like sequences".

O.K. What we really do, is this...

We take new and exciting things to smaller areas where we make music and have fun doing it. We set out to make friends and be friends to all those we meet.
