Arising Empire and Kontor New Media Celebrate 1 Billion Streams!

Seitdem das renommierte Label Arising Empire im Juni 2020 Teil von Kontor New Media wurde, verzeichneten das Metalcore-Label und der digitale Musikvertrieb beachtliche Erfolge: Über 1 Milliarde Streams und 300.000 Abonnenten auf YouTube sprechen für sich.
Successful Collaboration between Digital Distributor Kontor New Media and Metalcore Label Arising Empire
1 Billion Streams – This is the proud tally since the renowned metalcore label Arising Empire found a new home port with Hamburg-based digital distributor Kontor New Media in June 2020. But that’s not the only milestone to celebrate: Since the takeover of the label jointly managed by Tobias Falarz, Jens Thele, and Michael Pohl, their own YouTube channel has grown to over 300,000 subscribers, young exclusive signings like the Swedish band THROWN are already recording over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify with just a few released singles, and the chart entry of the band EMIL BULLS at #3 in the German album charts is also among the recent successes of their joint work.
“Tobias Falarz, Michael Pohl, and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the unreserved trust and the great collaboration in an extremely professional team that shares our vision of a modern metal label”, emphasizes Jens Thele.
Arising Empire has established itself as a leader in its genre, particularly in the areas of artist development and digital marketing. Bands like LANDMVRKS, IMMINENCE, FUTURE PALACE, or the aforementioned THROWN have been closely supported and successfully built up from the beginning. For the year 2024, the label aims for many more milestones, thereby solidifying its position as an outstanding platform for up-and-coming talents in metal and metalcore.
