The Story So Far...

We Are Horror Records is a 3 person British Independent record label primarily focused on Horror influenced music, focusing on Horror punk, and Deathrock bands. Founded in the United Kingdom in early 2022, it is based in Wolverhampton, and around the Black Country. The label was born from a long-running Horror punk Radio show called "Horrorpunk's Not Dead!" on Moshville Radio.

Founder and horror punk aficionado Dan Phillips said, "I launched We Are Horror Records to unify all the 'Horrorpunk's Not Dead!' compilations under one banner. The enthusiastic response from bands in the scene encouraged me to expand into a bona fide label! Our first release, Vol. 1, was soon followed by Vol. 2 because, well, the dead don’t rest! Our mission has always been to highlight the best modern horror punk, deathrock, and psychobilly bands globally."

Since dropping our debut compilation in 2022, We Are Horror Records has unleashed a slew of singles, EPs, and albums. For a detailed look at our discography, head over to the releases page.

Despite a brief hiatus in mid-2023, we roared back to life in January 2024 with renewed vigor and feverish ambition! Our current approach focuses less on specific genres and more on the overall vibe. If it’s deeply rooted in horror and rocks, we’re on board!
