Voices of Wonder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voices of Wonder aka Voice of Wonder Records was the most important rock record label in Oslo, Norway in the early 1990s. The label was fronted by a small and intimate record store on Olaf Ryes plass, which in addition to the labels own artists specialized in the English Earache Records and the American Sub Pop labels. Many Norwegians bought their first Nirvana and Godflesh albums in this store.
In the second half of the 1990s the store changed focus, from metal and grindcore to dance and electronic music. This alienated many of the old customers, and the label and store never managed to gain entry on the new scene. Thus, today the store is no more and the label just a pale shadow of its former self.
Voices of Wonder also distributed for Euronymous of Mayhem's Deathlike Silence Productions.
