A389 Records

Linas does artwork for Dom’s expanding empire. If you haven’t check out Linas Garsys art work, Go to his website www.linasgarsys.com He had a bunch of stuff he did artwork for and had extra copies so he gave them to me when I went home to DC / NOVA a few weeks ago.
Between the signing of some of the heavier doom bands and the repress of bands from the past this label has all the markings of becoming one of the best labels to ever emerge from Baltimore. Also if youre a collector Dom does short runs of vinyl and they usually sell out pretty quick.
My favorite current band on his roster is Seven Sisters of Sleep. They are now on Southern Lord.
I didn’t even know Linas did the artwork for one of the hardest working Los Angeles metal bands called Xibalba. Nate sings for them and is the savior of the current Los Angeles hardcore scene. Too bad in true Linas fashion he forgot to credit himself on the artwork. Xibalba is also now on Southern Lord records as well.
Linas also threw in a copy of a Pulling Teeth test press as well as a limited 10” which he did posters and artwork for one of the a389 records showcases.
Day of Mourning is Dom’s old band which I think became Haymaker? Oak is a doom band from Baltimore who I actually watched a few years back at a local Baltimore benefit that was set up by my friend Brittany for a passing of a friend.
