Nik Velleca is the founder of Wax Vessel, a record label dedicated to high-quality, small-run, one-time-only vinyl presses crafted for collectors. Focused on metal, hardcore, and grindcore from the early 2000s, Wax Vessel has given a second life to many releases of the era—including two of my own bands, Robinson and From A Second Story Window. We break down his vision for the label and what makes Wax Vessel releases so coveted (and sometimes controversial).
