Metropolis Records is a music company that started in Philadelphia, USA, in 1993. It was founded by a person named Dave Heckman. This company became known for releasing electronic music.

Metropolis Records worked closely with similar music companies in Europe. Since 1995, it has been very important for sharing and promoting underground electronic music in the United States.

How Metropolis Records Grew

On June 9, 1999, Metropolis Records bought another American music company called Pendragon Records. This meant Metropolis Records took over all the music and albums that Pendragon Records had released before. They also took over the music from another company called 21st Circuitry, which had closed down.

This helped Metropolis Records grow even bigger. They could now share even more electronic and industrial music with fans.
