Deathgasm's Records Store Closing

Post by deathgasmrecords » Tue September 19th, 2006, 2:51 pm

DEATHGASM’S RECORD STORE CLOSING



On October 31, 2006, Deathgasm Records will be closing the Deathgasm Records retail storefront and moving operations to a private location.

The Deathgasm Records store has been Atlanta’s source for Death Metal, Black Metal, and Grindcore CDs, Shirts, Vinyl and more for nearly 3 years. The store is located near Town Center Mall in Kennesaw at 2543 Bells Ferry Rd. Suite 650, Marietta, GA 30066 (in Swayze's Venue).

Owners Evan March and Alex Cox decided to close the retail store due to a lack of in-store sales. "We generate more revenue from online sales than from walk-in customer purchases," said Cox. The store closing is the first major action by the company to reduce overhead expenses and maintain its low prices. "The price of gas, postage, and living continue to rise while our personal incomes remain unchanged. It is time to change that," said March.

Until October 31st, 2006, the store will remain open 7 days a week, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. After October 31st, customers can continue to shop the online store (www.deathgasm.com). In addition to the website, Deathgasm will also continue to sell items at heavy metal events.

Deathgasm’s record store will have an inventory liquidation sale in October.

Deathgasm Records was founded in 1997 to provide the underground metal scene with extreme metal music at affordable prices. In December 2003, Deathgasm Records opened the first and only all-metal record store in Georgia.

Sucks to hear, but it sounds like a smart business move on your parts.

I'm sure I'll be joining several people here in thanking you guys for being the best place to go buy metal cds around.

while its a smart move for them, i find it unfortunate. i always liked how alex would put some cds i was looking to buy so i could see if i like it. i just about exclusivly buy from them and i'll keep on doing so. i wish the best of luck to evan and alex.
