Nick Raskulinecz, Grammy-winning producer known for albums by Foo Fighters, Deftones, and Korn, has launched Hiss Recordings, a singles-focused label. The label aims to spotlight emerging artists through individual digital releases. Doom Mutual, a Nashville-based duo consisting of Daphne Browdy and David Gestiehr, is the first artist to be released on the label. Their two-song digital single, "Static Planet" / "Crowbar", is now available. The music video for "Static Planet" is accessible online here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-7LD-eKZ-Y.
Raskulinecz confirmed the duo’s sound is distinctive and represents a creative direction that stands apart from current trends. The track explores themes of connection in a fragmented world, with a sonic texture described as massive and overwhelming, evoking the sensation of searching for signals through noise. Additionally, Voices of Extreme has released their first single, "Stoned Babies", on BraveWords Records. The full album is scheduled for release in 2026. The single has been positively reviewed by Iridium Rock and Metal Reviews, which described it as "fucking brilliant" and "beautiful."
Hiss Recordings will release one digital single at a time, with each release centered on a new artist and their debut track. The label’s debut artist, Doom Mutual, is positioned as a key discovery for listeners seeking innovative and original sounds. The initiative underscores Raskulinecz’s ongoing commitment to identifying and promoting new musical talent through targeted, focused releases. The debut single from Voices of Extreme, "Stoned Babies", is now available on BraveWords Records. Full album details will be released in 2026. The label is not yet known to have announced further artists or releases beyond this initial lineup.
