History

edit

2018 - current

edit

The label was born from a long-running Horror punk Radio show called "Horrorpunk's Not Dead!".

"I have started We Are Horror Records so I can release the compilations under one umbrella. So all of the Horrorpunk’s Not Dead! compilations will be released through this label. I already have interest from bands within the scene so I will eventually branch out into being a Bonafide label! This compilation, Vol. 1, is the first release through We Are Horror, and I’m already working at putting together Vol. 2 because the dead don’t rest! I plan to showcase the best modern horror punk, deathrock, and psychobilly bands in the world! To quote 5¢ Freakshow.. “We may be freaks, but we are not alone… The Horror is Here!”[3]

The label released its first compilation Horrorpunk's Not Dead! Vol. 1 in 2022.[4] Since then the label has released multiple singles, Ep's, and albums.
