A389 Recordings has announced that after 14 years of being in business, they're closing their doors.
The label had released music from such bands as Ilsa, Gatecreeper, Junior Bruce, Genocide Pact, Eyehategod, Fister, Iron Reagan, Primitive Man, Integrity, Noisem, and even The Balck Dahlia Murder over the years and jokes that "most of our active bands have since released music on the best label going: Relapse Records."
Closed down the official A389 webstore today. Most of our titles are out of print / won't be repressed save for a few popular ones that will be available via distributors / stores. It's been a wild ride from operating out of the bedroom of my old house to two huge storage units to the final spot in my current basement.
Most of the stuff is gone and can be picked up via Cobraside Distribution Inc. RevHQ.com and State of Mind Records / Distro or of course from the bands themselves.
A few things will still be available on our bandcamp page and our discogs page as well as on across all digital platforms. (working on redirecting the websites)
Thank you to all our customers and bands for the insane 14+ years of love and support. Most of our active bands bands have since released music on the best label going: Relapse Records.
So yeah that's it. As for me, it's been a wild ride and I've been enjoying the quiet. Catch me playing in INTEGRITY if we're in your neck of the woods. See you around <3

A389 Recordings 2004-2018
A389 Recordings was owned by Domenic Romeo, who has been in Integrity since 2014. The label will keep their Bandcamp up and running, but the physical aspect of the label has officially shut down. So long A389 Recordings, and thanks for the music.
