Hard Impact Music Management was started in two thousand nine in Chicago, Illinois by two seasoned veterans of the music industry and it
specializes in hard & heavy music. Maurizio Iacono, started as the bass player of veteran and world known extreme metal act Kataklysm, has toured the world since the age of 19 and has successfully self managed Kataklysm for most of its career. Maurizio quickly le

arned what it takes to make a career work in the music business; in addition, Maurizio worked for several record labels such as Cargo records and Hypnotic entertainment where he learned the insides of the industry adding to his vision and work ethic. Maurizio brings a wide knowledge of the touring artist from the ground up but also of strategics that can help bands grow and avoid the dangerous pitfalls that exist in today's music business; being a musician himself, he assures that nothing is more important but to be advised by someone who has been there and is a soldier of the field. Maurizio's partner and good friend Steph Mellul formed Brave Concerts International in Montreal, Quebec Canada in the 90's. Within only a few years, Steph's hard and dedicated work ethic gained him much praise and respect. Brave concerts is until this day the leading booking company for metal music in Quebec, Canada. Having relocated to USA , Steph runs the office out of Los Angeles, California and Maurizio remains in Chicago, Illinois, the two bring experience and inside information from the booking process, to the touring strategics, to album negotiations and marketing. The name says it all : HARD IMPACT, because that is what the mission is, to deliver the impact and make a difference, to give deserving bands a real chance to shine with their art. "Without music, life would be a mistake."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Unleash The Archers Reveals Reimagined Version of "Apex" Track, Entitled "Acoustipex" + Playthrough Video! Make sure to watch it til the End! 🤘
Pre-Order here: https://lnk.to/ApexAnniversary

Cut from Apex 5th Anniversary Earbook and Acoustipex EP,
out November 18, 2022 via Na**lm Records

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS frontwoman Brittney Slayes says:
"We are so excited to share 'Acoustipex' with you all; it's a moody acoustic take on the title track from Apex and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it! It's got a bit of a country vibe, but we added some symphonic elements as well to stay true to the synth theme of the record.

The music video was a challenge because we all live in different cities now, but we had a great time coming up with a concept we think you might appreciate. For those of you that have seen our acoustic version of 'Apex' on YouTube from CTV, you will understand where our inspiration came from lol ;) Make sure to get your pre-orders for the EP in now before they're all gone, and let us know what you think!"

Our Story

Hard Impact Artist Management was started in two thousand eight in Chicago, Illinois by two seasoned veterans of the music industry and it specializes in hard & heavy music. Maurizio Iacono, started as the bass player of veteran and world known extreme metal act Kataklysm, has toured the world since the age of 19 and has successfully self managed Kataklysm for most of its career. Maurizio quickly learned what it takes to make a career work in the music business; in addition, Maurizio worked for several record labels such as Cargo records and Hypnotic entertainment where he learned the insides of the industry adding to his vision and work ethic. Maurizio brings a wide knowledge of the touring artist from the ground up but also of strategics that can help bands grow and avoid the dangerous pitfalls that exist in today's music business; being a musician himself, he assures that nothing is more important but to be advised by someone who has been there and is a soldier of the field.
