Big Deal Records Wins Grammy For "Best Metal Performance"

Los Angeles, CA - Los Angeles-based independent record label, Big Deal Records, is batting a thousand having won a Grammy Award last night at the 47th

Annual Grammy Awards for its first ever CD release, Metallic Attack: The Ultimate Metallica Tribute. The Grammy Award was presented in the category of "Best Metal Performance" for Motorhead's version of the Metallica classic "Whiplash."

The tribute to the legendary San Francisco heavy metal band, for which the Motorhead track was specifically recorded, also features artists including Flotsam & Jetsam, Death Angel, Dark Angel and members of Anthrax, Helmet, Judas Priest, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies among others. Metallic Attack was produced by Bruce Bouillet and Bob Kulick and released on August 3, 2004.

The long, raucous career of British rockers Motörhead just about defines the genre of "metal." In fact, Motorhead's early influence on Metallica is enormous, thus making their Grammy victory covering a song from a band they so greatly inspired additionally fitting and well-deserved.

Big Deal Records is a brand new rock label housed under The Music Force Media Group umbrella that also includes the New York City eclectic label, HYENA Records, and the seminal smooth jazz label, Sindrome Records. Big Deal Records

next release will be the new album from the Los Angeles-based rocker and Emmy Award-winning actor, Scott Grimes, entitled Livin' On The Run. Big Deal Records will follow that release in Summer 2005 with the debut album from indie rock duo, The Human Value.
