Label founders & A&R scouts who helped the music we love thrive
Josh Grabelle is the founder of Trustkill Records, a pivotal label in the rise of metalcore, post-hardcore, and emo during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Under his leadership, Trustkill became a driving force behind the success of bands like Poison the Well, Eighteen Visions, Bleeding Through, and Walls of Jericho. Grabelle's ear for emotionally intense and aggressive music helped define an era of heavy music that bridged the gap between underground hardcore and mainstream audiences.
