Ben Sebastian has championed hundreds of artists within the metal underground, driven by a mission to inspire raw individuality and transcendence through unique talents. An ex-addict and former prisoner, and a practicing Buddhist, Ben's philosophy centres on building an ethical, supportive space where members find purpose and alleviate suffering. Witnessing the exploitative nature of the music industry and the meagre returns from streaming platforms fuelled his determination to create an alternative for artists to thrive without crippling costs or compromised integrity.

This vision materialized as Face Ripper Records, a community built on freedom and mutual support. It’s a haven where artists join by choice, without contracts or financial obligations, and are free to leave at any time. Face Ripper Records offer a platform and network grounded in creativity and integrity, seeking to dismantle industry barriers. It’s a space where musicians reclaim their power, and allow their raw, unchained, and fiercely independent music to resonate louder than systemic exploitation.
