A389 Recordings, the locally run label that was a home for hardcore and metal acts Noisem, Full of Hell, The Black Dahlia Murder and many more, has ceased operations.

In a Facebook post last night, A389 owner Domenic Romeo announced the labelโ€™s web store was closed and that most of the albums are now out of print.

โ€œItโ€™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,โ€ the post says.

Many of the bands that were on the label are now on Relapse Records, Romeo notes. And it is also the label for Romeoโ€™s hardcore band, Integrity.

โ€œSo yeah thatโ€™s it,โ€ Romeo writes. โ€œAs for me, itโ€™s been a wild ride and Iโ€™ve been enjoying the quiet.โ€
