Even though they're mainly considered "just another one of those cult/classic/crap old German Metal labels" by most, they had plenty of non-Metal acts in their roster as well. They also distributed a handful of private/micro-label releases, so occationally their logo turned up on albums that weren't really their own products (listed at the bottom). In other words not a label for completists.
