Gashed!

Label based in Alberta, Canada established in 1998 by Eric Deegan as a division of Mimicry Distribution Canada to promote quality electro-industrial music. From its establishment, Gashed! sought solely to give a voice and business avenue for deserving, innovative and professional artists that went overlooked and unappreciated by larger industrial labels. Over the course of four years and 14 releases the label helped launch and/or forward the careers of many quality electronic industrial artists such as Assemblage 23, Negative Format and Aghast View, often at little or no financial gain to the label. In late 2001 the owner, Eric Deegan, chose to shutdown the label to focus on advancing his government job and raising a family. All remaining artists were released of their contracts and given sole rights to their back-catalogs. The label ceased operations on November 12, 2001.
