Deathwish, Inc. is an independent record label founded by Jacob Bannon and Tre McCarthy.〔"Label Profile: Deathwish Inc.". ''Alternative Press'' 299 (June 2013), p. 37.〕 In late 1999, McCarthy and Bannon decided to turn Deathwish into a full-fledged business. Deathwish's first release was ''Deeper the Wound'', a split album between Converge and Japanese band Hellchild in 2001. The label established itself quickly and began working with a diverse group of bands such as Boy Sets Fire, Jesuseater (former Swiz members), and Knives Out (former I Hate You members). Along with traditional web and print advertising, Deathwish sponsors mixed martial arts athletes to bring visibility to their brand. Deathwish sponsors a number of well-known fighters, including: Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, Dan "The Upgrade" Lauzon, Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon, Toby "Tigerheart" Grear, and members of Team Sityodtong in Boston. ==Related labels== In 1999, Linas Garsys and Tru Pray founded the hardcore punk independent record label Malfunction Records. Deathwish merged with Malfunction in August 2007, and originally announced that the two labels would still exist as separate entities with Malfunction acting as an imprint label and Deathwish's staff operating both businesses. However, one of Malfunction's last releases was Bitter Ends' 2008 self-titled EP. Deathwish still distributes some of Malfunction's back catalog. In 2012, Jeremy Bolm of Touché Amoré formed his own imprint label under Deathwish dubbed Secret Voice. In 2014, Jami Morgan of Code Orange along with Pat Kindlon of Self Defense Family formed their own imprint under Deathwish titled Harm Reduction Records.〔http://www.punknews.org/article/55003/media-new-label-harm-reduction-records〕 The label in the past has operated an imprint label Icarus Records, for more experimental and ambient sounding bands, though it has been dormant for many years and only released albums from two artists. In 2009, Deathwish expanded into independent music distribution offering exclusive and featured distribution of other record labels. Currently, Deathwish distributes many labels including: Closed Casket Activities, ConCult (Converge self-released titles), Discos Huelga, Grave Mistake Records, Nonbeliever, React! Records, Painkiller Records, Perfect Victim Records, Six Feet Under Records, State of Mind Recordings, and Vitriol Records. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deathwish Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
