Our Story

About Rock On Record

We don't just cover rock & metal — we document it for the record.

The Origin Story

How Rock On Record came to be

"We saw shows. We captured moments. We realized nobody was documenting these stories the way they deserved to be told."

Rock On Record was born out of a simple belief: the stories happening right now in rock and metal music are just as important as the legends that came before them.

Based in Sacramento, California, we started with a camera at local shows and festivals. Our first interview — Norman L. Skinner III of Forbidden — set the tone for everything that followed: raw, real, and respectful of the artists and the art.

Since then, we've captured history at Aftershock, Inkcarceration, Welcome to Rockville, Cruel World, ShipRocked, Summer of Loud, Sonic Temple, and beyond. From mosh pits to backstage moments, from legendary acts to rising stars — if it's making rock history, we're recording it.
