R.E.X. Records was an
independent record label founded by Doug Mann and Gavin Morkel, which operated from 1987 until running into financial difficulty in
1995. Operations were based in
Chicago until 1990 when the company moved to
Nashville. The label was artistic in nature, and though they were especially active in the
Christian metal genre some acts (such as
Circle of Dust) were also marketed to mainstream audiences. Sublabels included Storyville Records and Street Level Records, founded by
Randy Stonehill.
