Pivotal Rockordings is a record label that was founded in December 2004. Start-up businessman Leevan Macomeau, who a year prior had founded the Pivotal Rage Webzine, decided to form a record label with long time Pivotal Rage staff member, Alexi Front.

Following its inception, Pivotal Rockordings signed their first artist, Sonic Syndicate, [ [http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=38368 Blabbermouth.Net - Sweden'S Sonic Syndicate Sign With Pivotal Rockordings ] ] a melodic death metal band from Falkenberg, Sweden. After a summer spent promoting and performing gigs throughout Sweden, Eden Fire, Sonic Syndicate's (and Pivotal Rockordings) first full length was released on September 13, 2005. Sonic Syndicate's album would eventually land them a record deal with Nuclear Blast Records and give the label notoriety.

By spring 2006, Pivotal Rockordings capitalized on its success by quickly signing their second artist, Blinded Colony, a band from the Southeastern city of Karlshamn, Sweden.
