Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (formerly of Faith No More/Mr. Bungle and Fantômas.) The label boasts an eclectic mix of heavy and experimental music, most notably The Melvins and ISIS.
