Founded by Shane Tierney, Seventh Level Records was previously known as Judas Cradle Productions from 2001-2005. Judas Cradle Productions was the label for Leviathan, a metal / punk band that Shane Tierney was the front man for at the time. Though there was the intent to produce multiple artists under the moniker of Judas Cradle Productions, including an album to benefit the West Memphis Three with contributions from Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins, monetary and time constraints kept the fledgling label from releasing anything other than two CDs from Leviathan. When Leviathan broke up, Shane reorganized what support structure there was from Judas Cradle Productions and formed Seventh Level Records in August 2005. The label's name comes from The Divine Comedy by author Dante Alighieri, where the seventh level of hell is the residence of those who were violent towards themselves, others, or god in their mortal lives.
