Nuclear Blast Tonträger Produktions- und Vertriebs GmbH

German independent music production and distributing company; name changed to Nuclear Blast GmbH in 2019. This branch of the company was not sold to Believe Digital in 2018. So Markus Staiger and a team of ten former Nuclear Blast Records staff started from the bottom and gave former Nuclear Blast artists (who were struggling with the new company structure of Believe Digital) a new home. In 2021 Markus Staiger founded the completely new label Atomic Fire Records and transferred the label roster to finally separate from Believe Digital (which are from then on the only name holder of Nuclear Blast).
