Throne of Blood Records started in Dec 2006 as a joint venture between The Rapture and NYC-based DJ, James Friedman. Initially created as a venue for releasing remix singles off The Rapture's 2006 album Pieces of the People We Love, Throne of Blood has grown into a full service, digital and physical imprint distributed worldwide via Kompakt.

Early releases included The Rapture's "Get Myself Into It" and "W.A.Y.U.H," featuring remixes from Simian Mobile Disco, Claude Von Stroke, SebastiAn, Serge Santiago and Prince Language. The LP version of "Pieces of the People We Love" soon followed. A third remix 12" of "The Sound" featuring Ben Rymer and Max Pask remixes was pressed and never released when then-distributor Amato folded. 

In the summer of 2008 the label came roaring back to life with a new distribution deal and new releases in the pipeline for a roster of artists which grew to bridge the distance between Philly-bred, New York-based up and comer Dances With White Girls and prog superheroes Zombi. Enter DWWG's "New Crack Swing" EP and Zombi's "Sapphire" 12" featuring NYC disco supergroup Escort on remix duties.
