'''Napalm Records''' ist ein österreichisches [[Musiklabel]] mit Sitz in [[Eisenerz (Steiermark)|Eisenerz]] und Niederlassungen in [[Berlin]]<ref>{{Internetquelle |autor=Louise Swift |url=http://planetmosh.com/napalm-records-announce-opening-of-new-office-in-berlin/ |titel=Napalm Records Announce Opening of New Office in Berlin |titelerg=Napalm Records – Office Opening Party In Berlin |werk=PlanetMosh |hrsg=PlanetMosh |datum=2015-09-25 |sprache=en |offline=1 |archiv-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925120550/http://planetmosh.com/napalm-records-announce-opening-of-new-office-in-berlin/ |archiv-datum=2015-09-25 |abruf=2015-10-07 |zitat=Napalm Records is pleased to announce the opening of our brand new office in Berlin!}}</ref> und [[New York City|New York]]. Es wurde 1992 von Markus Riedler gegründet. Die Bands, die das Label vertritt, gehören hauptsächlich dem [[Metal]]-Bereich an.

== Unternehmensgeschichte ==
[[Datei:Eisenerz Napalm Records 01.jpg|mini|Firmensitz von Napalm Records in Eisenerz]]

In der Anfangszeit veröffentlichte Napalm Records Bands aus dem [[Black Metal|Black-Metal]]-Umfeld wie vor allem [[Abigor (Band)|Abigor]] und [[Summoning]], aber auch [[Nåstrond]] und [[Ildjarn]]. Nach dem Album ''Satanized'' und dem Ende des bestehenden Vertrags trennte sich Abigor von Napalm Records und wechselte zu [[End All Life Productions]].

Im Lauf der Jahre erweiterte sich das Portfolio auf [[Gothic Metal|Gothic]]-, [[Folk Metal|Folk]]-, [[Viking Metal|Viking]]- und [[Symphonic Metal]]. Das Wachstum des Labels und dessen Wechsel zu solchen Bands war auch der Grund für Nåstrond, das Label zu verlassen:

{{Zitat
|Text=This was probably the reason why it was impossible to continue with Napalm Records, as our ambition was never to be part of a major commercial conduct, which prevents individual developments. I have not followed their later forms.
|Sprache=en
|Autor=Karl NE
|Quelle=''Ancient Ceremonies'' Nr. 14
|Übersetzung=Dies war wahrscheinlich der Grund, wieso es unmöglich war, bei Napalm Records weiterzumachen, da unser Ehrgeiz nie darin lag, Teil einer kommerziellen Macht zu sein, welche unabhängige Entwicklungen behindert. Ich bin ihrer späteren Gestalt nicht gefolgt.
|ref=<ref>Juno Santos: ''Nåstrond.'' In: ''Ancient Ceremonies.'' Nr. 14, S. 10.</ref>}}

Im Dezember 2020 übernahm Napalm Records das deutsche Rock- und Metallabel [[SPV (Unternehmen)|SPV]].<ref>{{Internetquelle |url=https://www.stormbringer.at/news/65865/napalm-records-uebernehmen-spv-gmbh.html |titel=Napalm Records übernehmen SPV GmbH |werk=stormbringer.at |datum=2020-12-17 |abruf=2020-12-18}}</ref>

== Kritik ==
2007 erschien ein Artikel des ''[[Rock Hard|Rock-Hard]]''-Magazins, der sich mit dem [[National Socialist Black Metal]] befasste. Da das Label in seinem Webshop neben unpolitischen Bands auch offen [[Rechtsextremismus|rechtsextreme]] führte, fragte das Magazin bei ihm nach; Markus Riedler, Inhaber von Napalm Records, bezeichnete die Fragen als „Frechheit“ und „Rufmord“; er lasse alle Produkte prüfen und habe auch einige abgelehnt; der Webshop werde von einem „echten Metal-Fachmann“ betreut. Gruppen wie [[Nokturnal Mortum]], [[Infernum]], [[Graveland]], [[Totenburg (Band)|Totenburg]] und [[Ad Hominem (Musikprojekt)|Ad Hominem]] wurden auch zum Redaktionsschluss noch über den Webshop des Labels verkauft, und der Betreuer des Mailorders, Karl Kern, scheint die Querverbindungen innerhalb des rechtsextremen Flügels zu kennen.<ref>{{Literatur |Autor=[[Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann]] |Titel=Der rechte Rand im Black Metal |Sammelwerk=Rock Hard |Nummer=241 |Datum=2007-06 |Seiten=60}}</ref> Die genannten Bands sind im Jahr 2014 nicht in dem Webshop zu finden.
