However, the bands My Dying Bride, Anathema and Paradise Lost - known as the 'Peaceville Three' - have been the label's most recognizable traits since the 1990s. Peaceville also became known for its anti-major stance.
In November 2006, Hammy announced that he and co-manager Lisa Halmshaw would be leaving the label, and that Paul Groundwell of associated label Snapper Music would be taking over control[1].
