Warhead Records

Warhead Records was an independent record label based in Sydney, Australia that specialised in releasing albums by Australian heavy metal bands.

It was formed in 1992 by British migrant Brad Sims and Julie Martin (now Sims) who began by selling demo tapes of local bands at heavy metal shows at Sydney's Lewisham Hotel.

By the beginning of 1996 the label had an extensive roster of Australian bands from across the heavy metal spectrum.

Warhead was run in tandem with the Hammerhouse, a CD store in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta which sold underground heavy metal music and other merchandise from around the world.

In mid-1999, with several albums still awaiting release, Warhead Records ceased trading.
