Artoffact Records

Artoffact Records is a Toronto-based independent record label founded in 1999, emerging from the distribution and mail-order company Storming the Base. Over more than twenty-five years, the label has developed an extensive catalogue spanning industrial, electronic, post-punk, goth, metal, noise rock, punk and experimental music, combining new releases with reissues and archival projects.

Artoffact's roster has grown into an international collection of established artists and newer acts. Its Canadian roster includes ACTORS, Front Line Assembly, cEvin Key, Rhys Fulber, Noise Unit, Cyberaktif, Ayria, Antigen Shift, LEATHERS, SPECTRES, KEN mode, Mares of Thrace, tunic and Encephalon, alongside international artists including Kælan Mikla, KAUAN, ULTRA SUNN, Fotocrime, Cloud Rat, Bootblacks, GGGOLDDD, KANGA, Test Dept and Portion Control.

The label has also made a significant contribution to the preservation and reissue of Canadian recorded music. Beginning in 2017, Artoffact released a series of previously unavailable CBC Brave New Waves sessions drawn from the CBC Archives, including recordings by Rheostatics, The Grapes of Wrath, 13 Engines, The Nils, cub, Jale and other Canadian independent artists. The recordings were restored from original CBC archival tapes and reels, bringing performances originally recorded for the influential CBC radio program into commercial release for the first time.

In 2025, Artoffact further highlighted its Canadian catalogue with The State of Canada, a 51-track compilation spanning recordings made from the 1970s to the present and drawing together industrial, goth, post-punk, metal, noise rock, punk and electronic music. The collection included music by ACTORS, Rhys Fulber, Front Line Assembly, Cyberaktif, The Tear Garden, LEATHERS, the Canadian Electronic Ensemble and others.

Artoffact remains highly active in 2026, with new releases from artists including Antigen Shift, SDH, Madeline Goldstein and Hangwire, alongside ongoing releases and international touring activity involving Front Line Assembly, ACTORS, Rhys Fulber, ULTRA SUNN, HALLOWS and others.
