Infinite Zero was an archive reissue label started by Henry Rollins. Out-of-print albums by significant artists selected by Rollins were made available on CD. These high-quality CD reissues had bonus tracks, original artwork, and good audio.
Rick Rubins also selected some of the recordings and Infinite Zero is under his label American, which was a subsidiary of Warner.
