Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has teamed up with Frozen and Hatchet director Adam Green to create Ariescope Records, a new label that will focus on both hard rock and metal bands as well as the scores and soundtracks for Green’s own film and television projects. The releases will be manufactured, marketed, and distributed by EMP.

The first planned release will be a live version of Ghosts of Salem, which comes from Green’s own band Haddonfield. It will come out digitally on September 15th and on limited edition LP on Friday, October 13th.

“I’m honored to partner with EMP for this new musical division of ArieScope Pictures,” says Green. “As a lifelong metal and hard rock fan, I’ve always found ways to bring the music and the artists I love into my various film and television projects but I’ve missed performing music myself in a huge way over these last several years. Starting an ArieScope imprint label, bringing Haddonfield back to the forefront, and getting to work with people I admire like David Ellefson and Thom Hazaert is just incredible.”

EMP Operations Manager Thom Hazaert says, “We are huge fans of Adam and his work, and it’s truly an honor to be the musical Robin to his Batman. He is a true music fan, and artist, and that said, music is never far from the pulse of his film projects, Holliston, Hatchet etc. We are extremely excited and look forward to bringing you the fruits of this unholy union.”
