Deadline Recordings was founded by Richard Ramirez in 1992. Originally Ramirez released three Black Leather Jesus cassettes under the label title "Dead Audio Media". That later changed in 1992 with release of the first three Black Leather Jesus releases reissued on vinyl (Ltd. edition) and the debut of Bill Skins Fifth "Self-titled" releases. Deadline Recordings was started due to the fact that most labels were not willing to release any of Ramirez's work since he didn't have the notoriety at the time. Ramirez used his own label as a vehicle to release not only his work, but other artists that had suffered the same fate with labels.

In 1997, Deadline Recordings took a break then finally returned officially in 2000. The label now not only caters to harsh noise, but to what it originally had started out releasing: dark ambient and experimental music. New Releases, including more manufactured CDs/Vinyl, are forthcoming with Deadline Recordings. Dead Audio Tapes and H Series are sub-label/series of Deadline. H Series features artists that are HNW only. HNW (Harsh Noise Wall).
