We wanted to take a moment and wish you, our waveriders, a wonderful, happy and healthy holiday season and New Year.

2016 was a banner year for Ripple, with many “Label of the year” nods and several albums appearing on year end  “Best of” lists.  In the end, however, we couldn’t do any of this without you and your support.  Ripple is a labor of love by a few fanatic music obsessives, working long hours after the day jobs searching for the best heavy music we can find, and putting out the coolest CD and vinyl issue we can make. But none of it would mean anything without you.  Thank you so much for believing in us, trusting us with your hard-earned money, and your constant words of support.  It all means more to us than we could ever say.  So  . . . . thank you.

Below, you can see just how crazy 2016 was. Looking back at it, I’m proud beyond words of all the talented bands and musicians who are part of the Ripple family.  2017 promises to build upon our 2016 roster, with some hotly anticipated releases, some surprise projects, some still unannounced signings, some new and even cooler vinyl designs, and more Second Coming of Heavy.  We hope you’ll be along for the ride.

Once again, happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and happy new year.  We wish happiness, joy and good health for each and every one of you.

Peace – –
