I've noticed a lot of godly stuff from Italy came out on Minotauro Records. Can't seem to find a website where all the releases are listed, any help?

That's indeed a great label, I'm also wondering what the whole program is?

Minotauro is long defunct. It was co ownned/founed by Paul Chain as far as i know. Marquee in Italy still carry the remaining releases. I think the email is info@marquee.it there was some talk of them re-releasing some of the back catalogue. But who knows when that will happen?

Their website of their shop is : http://www.markuee.com . And thanks for clearing this fact! I thought at first that Markuee were the following of Minotauro or so.
