History
Spinefarm Records began as a mailorder distribution company, founded by Riku Pääkkönen. The company evolved into a record label for Finnish acts such as Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Sonata Arctica.[2] Since 2002, Spinefarm has been part of Universal Music Group, but operates as an independent business unit.[4]
Pääkkönen sold the original Ranka publishing catalog to Warner/Chappell Music in 2008, including several songs by Spinefarm acts like Children Of Bodom, Finntroll, and Nightwish.[5]
Former Roadrunner Records President Jonas Nachsin was appointed Spinefarm's General Manager - Worldwide in 2013.[6] Spinefarm/UMG acquired the English label Candlelight Records in late 2015.[7] In 2017, Spinefarm Music Group announced the launch of the country, blues, and southern rock-oriented Snakefarm Records.
