A389 is throwing their sixth anniversary bash on January 8^th and 9^th with a lineup that includes the most infamous of those bands known as Holy Terror and a Norse metal deity (by way of Canada).  The main show on Saturday January 9^th at The Sonar will feature sets by legendary artists who have had releases on the label Integrity, Ringworm, Gehenna, Starkweather, Pulling Teeth and newly signed Seraphim.  A389 is run by Dom Romeo of the band Pulling Teeth and is the ultimate home for vinyl collectors who like deluxe limited pressings that look like works of art as well as real hardcore and different strains thereof.  The label has helped to spread the gospel of Holy Terror, which is a strain of metal-tinged hardcore, raw, bleak and uncompromising which came to prominence in the 90’s.  Though not a conscious movement or uniform sound it’s undeniable ground zero sprang out of Cleveland with Integrity and Ringworm.
