Slave Pit Inc. is the artist collective, production company and independent record label created for releasing projects by the heavy metal band Gwar and related side projects such as Mensrea and Locus Factor.
According to a 2015 TED Talk by Michael Bishop, an early member of Gwar now trained in music ethnography, the name is a commentary on the privilege of the band's white members within Richmond, Virginia's history of racial slavery.[1]
