Black Market Activities is an independent record label (sub-label) which was founded, and run by & Guy Kozowyk, the singer of Boston, MA based metal band The Red Chord. Black Market Activities (or BMA, as it is often referred to) was started with the stated goal of releasing records by bands that are pushing the boundaries of extreme music while keeping a friendly artist centered attitude that steers clear of a lot of the “major label” business-like dealings that tend to hurt and exploit bands. The founder of the label being an extreme musician himself, he can more easily relate to the issues that are important to the bands on the label, and attempts to balance the business and art aspects of the music world. BMA is a tight knit group of bands and friends who share similar ideas and musical tastes.

In the years since its creation BMA has grown quickly and gained much recognition. Black Market Activities teamed up with long-running metal record label Metal Blade Records on a production and distribution deal which allows all BMA releases to reach the same major stores as Metal Blade releases. This has propelled BMA and all its bands forward quite a bit. It has also, however, lead to some confusion as to what bands are on BMA and what bands are on Metal Blade, as both record labels logos now appear on the backs of all BMA recordings. BMA is not a subsidiary of Metal Blade, it is a separate entity.
