A Hamilton favourite for vinyl finds is leaving its cozy quarters on Locke Street and setting its sights on a new location.
Into the Abyss, a popular spot for records, turntables, vinyl accessories, and more, announced on social media that they will soon be vacating their current shop at 119 Locke Street South, where the business has lived since 2017.

With their current building in line to be sold and rent increased to unsustainable amounts, Into the Abyss made the difficult decision to leave their first home behind and find a new spot in the city to relocate to.
Thankfully, the record shop has a new home lined up, and they’ll be opening up shop soon along King Street East in Hamilton’s International Village after formally closing their Locke location as of August 28th, 2022.
“To all those who have supported us on Locke – our gratitude is endless – as you supported us through endless condo construction, street redesign, and a global pandemic,” reads a message from Into the Abyss on social media.
“YOU came and bought records. YOU ordered from our website when everything was closed because you wanted us to stay here. We’ve been here for 5 years because of YOU – and we hope that you will take a walk, ride a bike, hop on a bus, or drive your whip to the Village to support our little mom and pop.”
