Is the company still active at all? Diabolic ( I think is a partner) seems to be still somewhat producing and has what looks like a fairly good website. Anabolic, not so much!
Reason I ask is I was playing cards in Vegas and a crazy dude (Chris, I think was his name) said he was the owner of a large porn production company called Anabolic, I knew what it was but didn't want to carry on a conversation on porn with 2 ladies at the table (well, I think they were ladies)
Anyway, he lost about 10k and left so I never got any info from him. So is the company still active? or living off past productions?

They released Anabolic Initiations 24 in 2009 so they must still be active just not producing as much. They used to do killer gangbangs.

Chris and ANABOLIC have been at it for a VERY long time. During most of that period, the company was just as prolific as any of their competitors. This was the "go-to" label for high-quality gonzo years before anyone had coined the term.
We all want to retire in comfort sometime, so no one could blame him if he wanted to kick back, ride out the bad economy and wait for a younger, more perverted turk with business savvy and financial backing to make him an offer.

If they are, they must be in a coma. Been wondering if we'll ever see another Teenage Anal Princess or Bring Um Young, but their production schedule seems to have come to a complete stop altogether.

I reviewed a recent release of theirs and it was definitely a case of going through the motions. Their website had what seemed to be some good looking offerings, but as far as what's in the local store not too much overall. One thing I noticed about their site is as of a few weeks ago they still have a picture of Tera Patrick on their home page. She shot, what?, like two or three releases for them.

Anabolics website is a total waste of $$$, small clips and not much of them (as of about 8 months ago)I was expecting something simular to Diabolics site where you can access just about (if not all) their DVD's for HQ download. Anabolic advertises 643 vids but thats after the break up a film in 20 sections!

I remember them bringing us some great series like: Nice Rack, Bring'um Young, Dirty Sex Tour, Assman, Up Your Ass, Initiations etc. They introduced me to some great stars: the young & busty Cassandra, Ornelia, Rumica, Julia Taylor (before she went to do a lot for Private), Wanda Curtis but also Tera Patrick, Taylor St Clair, Fawna, and so on. Back in the days there movies were pretty hard (especially the euro flicks).
I agree with Zen Master 2007 that they were the 'go-to' label for some real quality gonzo. Hmmm, memories...

In the past year, all I've heard is "going down the tubes." Lots of bad business decisions and mountains of backstage personal drama. Gregg Allan was the brains, and once he split .... Ivan was the last person I knew still shooting for them, and he's over with Tom Byron now. Amazing how anyone could fuck up what was basically an excuse to print money. But, hey, that's porn for ya.

I figured that when Ivan left they were dead. If not, they might as well be since he's the best thing that had happened to them in years.

I'm assuming that Ivan is owed some $$$$. If the story is true he should be FUCKING PISSED!
