A389 Records specialize in brutal hardcore with metallic touches, grind, death metal and even shoegaze with the recent release of records by bands like Anne and Nothing. The label's annual festival, now entering it's 10th year in it's native Baltimore, MD, is always a must-see for fans of nihilistic and brutal hardcore, and this year is no different. 2014's A389 Anniversary Bash (in association with InvisibleOranges) will span two days and feature some major names much like years past, including the 1993 lineup of metalcore pioneers Integrity (an exclusive one-time reunion), metalcore giants Bloodlet (also, a one-time reunion)(WOW), Canadian hardcore favorites Haymaker, reunited Powerviolence legends Infest, NYHC favorites All Out War, and many more, including staples like Full of Hell, Sex Prisoner, Noisem, Power Trip, Weekend Nachos and more. Head below for the full lineup, get your early bird passes at the label at midnight tonight (9/26) and get regular tickets tomorrow at noon.
