Deathwish, Inc. is an independent record label founded by Jacob Bannon of Converge and Tre McCarthy. In late 1999, McCarthy and Bannon decided to turn Deathwish into a full-fledged business. Deathwish's first release was Deeper the Wound, a split album between Converge and Japanese band Hellchild in 2001. The label established itself quickly and began working with a diverse group of bands such as Boy Sets Fire, Jesuseater (former Swiz members), and Knives Out (former I Hate You members).
