Why Choose Hellbender Vinyl?
We're musicians ourselves, and we started Hellbender Vinyl because we got tired of giving vinyl plants thousands of dollars and then have them not communicate with us for months. When you choose to press your vinyl with Hellbender, you'll have a personal, dedicated concierge who will provide you with weekly updates throughout the entire process!
And because we're musicians ourselves, in addition to helping you with placing your order, we also won't settle for anything less than the best-sounding vinyl you've ever heard! Every record is listened to and approved by our Head of Quality Assurance and Quality Control, Orlando "Buscrates" Marshall, an internationally-celebrated producer and vinyl DJ who doesn't let any order leave our facility until it meets his S-tier standards!
With our 100% test pressing approval rate and our legendary customer service, we guarantee that you'll not only be satisfied, but thrilled with the results!
About the Hellbender
Why are we named Hellbender Vinyl? It's because the hellbender salamander is the official state amphibian of Pennsylvania! And because the hellbender is endangered, we also thought it was an appropriate name to highlight our environmentally-friendly approach to pressing vinyl records.
Not only does Hellbender Vinyl's facility feature the latest in energy conservation technology, with a modern closed-loop chiller system designed to conserve water, but a portion of the proceeds from every project pressed at Hellbender Vinyl will benefit the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and their efforts to monitor hellbender populations.
Make a difference while making records with us!
