History

Historical Context

The rise of alternative music in the 1990s, marked by Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock, reshaped the music landscape. This evolution, rooted in the post-industrial movement of the 1980s, saw genres blending traditional pop with experimental sounds. Founded in 2006, Sumerian Records reflects this diversity, while Poppy's upcoming single 'Bruised Sky' continues to push musical boundaries, highlighting ongoing innovation in the industry.
