(Some of) Our Team at Hellbender Vinyl
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 Our Hometown
Welcome to America's Most Livable City! Known around the world as the Steel City, manufacturing has once again returned to the City of Pittsburgh thanks in part to Hellbender Vinyl! The hometown of Andy Warhol has always been known for art and creativity as well, and so Hellbender Vinyl combines both the imaginations and the grit of Pittsburghers!
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.
