U-Iliot Records (Label)

U-Iliot Records (pronounced "you-elliott records") is a record label founded by members of Canadian heavy metal band Boize in December of 1991. Initially, all five members of the band at the time of its creation were equal partners; vocalist Perry Blainey, guitarists Robert Kourie and Steve Berger, bassist and keyboardist Stephane Fania and drummer Scott MacDonald. After the break-up of Boize in the summer of 1993, founding members Stéphane Fania and Robert Kourie subsequently took over the ownership of the record label and kept it alive through their following bands Emissary (2) and Breaking Violet. In the summer of 1998, Robert Kourie forfeited his share of the company when he left Breaking Violet, resulting in the complete ownership of U-Iliot Records being inherited by Stephane Fania. Stephane still operates the record label to this day and has re-issued most of the releases digitally. Stephane Fania also operates Klink Publishing, a music publishing company which was founded by the same members of Boize in April of 1991.
