Decide what we are sounding, first
Before we write a note, we settle whose story we are sounding and what part of it. Arrangement and mixing are the work of making that audible.
Independent since VQR-000
真実は必ずしも美しくなく、
美しい言葉が真実とはかぎらない。
The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
Veriquest Records is a label that pursues truth through music. We do not chase surface trends; we make work with artists who bring a spirit of enquiry. Our core genres are heavy metal and rock, and streaming is where we fight.

Approach How we make records
One pair of hands, all the way
Composition and arrangement through to mixing and mastering are carried by one person. Nothing thins out at a hand-off.
Streaming is where we fight
Heavy metal and rock at the core, released to streaming. Every release gets a number and stays in the catalogue.

白紙の文
柚蘭
A blank letter, with nothing written on it, says the most. A song of prayer, entrusting feelings words cannot hold to sound.
