So yes we’ve been through periods where we don’t want to explain ourselves anymore. But after a while we take a breath and realize that all it usually takes is giving someone insight into our world. Christian heavy metal is a paradox that doesn’t seem to work for a lot of people. Many times it simply takes explaining to those people that this music is used as a powerful tool for young people that gravitate towards heavy passionate aggressive music. There’s a very small handful of people that continue to be skeptical after we talk with them; most of them seem to get it after we explain ourselves. Do you ever consider that the music or artwork might be too dark sounding or too dark looking?Clark: As sounds go I don’t think music can be inherently evil. The content and lyrics and what you propose to do with them make music evil.

Locomotive Records was founded in 1996 by music producer Goyo Esteban. Since its formation 11 years ago the company has become one of the biggest Independent labels in Europe South America and the United States. With well-known artists from many genres its main focus remains rock and metal music and as a US licensor for bigger Indie labels. As a small record label in Spain the company started with a lone office in Madrid but soon opened up another office in Cologne Germany in 2002. That office is now responsible for the international business and artistic vision for the whole company. In January 2008 Locomotive Records will open a US office in New York to increase its profile in the US market and offer a local and country-specific partner to expand its business even further. Locomotive Records is driven by a passion for music and is always anxious to pave the way for new artists and bands who also share their love for good music and have an ability to delight the audience.
