Chavis Records was founded in January of 2002 out of a passion for the melodic rock and heavy metal scene.

Founder and CEO, Bill Chavis, actually began with Metalvault.com in 1996. Developed solely to provide media and marketing coverage to a very limited genre in the music industry, it quickly grew and saw over 600,000 hits to the site in the first year. In 1998, Metalvault Radio was born and by the year 2000 obtained almost 2,000,000 hits.

The purpose of Chavis Records is to bring great music back to the forefront and keeping traditional Melodic Rock alive. Chavis Records does what they like and believe in and unearthing great music with attitude, style, and decadence. A label that believes in providing fairness, honesty, and integrity to the artist.
