2022 - 05 - 20 /// Trophy Hunt out, Gil Cerrone premiere

May 20, 2022 by David Norman

Mages? You like mages? We’ve released quite a few since 2020. Cara Neir’s ‘Phantasmal’ is next!

Trophy Hunt released yesterday on Zegema Beach and Middle Man, despite the Tomb Tree logo being on the j-card, this is most definitely a Zegema Beach Records release.

TROPHY HUNT - The Branches On Either Side (cassette)

Sold out

TROPHY HUNT - The Branches On Either Side (cassette)

from CA$9.00

TROPHY HUNT ‘The Branches On Either Side‘ tape (ZB275)

For fans of: Cloud Rat, Oathbreaker, and Mahria

New York’s TROPHY HUNT plays incredibly progressive and diverse grindcore, and has really upped not only their game with their second full length, but the genres standard. Feelin’ like some Cloud Rat? Gotcha covered. What’s that? You want some Placebo in there? Cool, we can do that. Honestly there’s so much work and thought put into these 10 tracks that repeat listens are not only highly recommended, but also extremely likely as the entire thing is an incredible journey. Co-released with Middle Man Records and the band, we’ve only got 1/3 of this pressing!

Cassettes /154 Variant breakdown:
Neon Pink Noise swirl /83
Sunchoke Purple /51
Next Level Double swirl w/matching swirl case /10
Mystery swirl /5
Test dip w/matching swirl case /5

All tapes come with two-sided j-card with additional panel w/lyrics. 10 songs.

2022 - 05 - 15 /// What a weekend, still reeling

May 18, 2022 by David Norman

Sorry for the lack of updates we are shipping out these Hayworth and Loftus orders from the weekend. We’ll have a new release on Thursday (the Trophy Hunt cassette full length) but until then there’s lots for you to check out!

First, take a minute-and-a-half to scope this ridiculous old-timey video for ZBR Fest Midwest updates including some late additions, a cancellation, and sick Massa Nera news!

Hayworth was written about on Brooklyn Vegan, copies remain. Click the Halfsies Slasher pic for the link.

(((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain)))) interviewed Loftus! Holy shit, long time coming. We still got some copies left! Click this text for the interview or the picture to buy those sweet, sweet, vinyl.

Trophy Hunt releases tomorrow! Here are the variants as well as a link to the final song premiere for “Gate” via Brooklyn Vegan. Click on this text for the premiere.

Brooklyn Vegan also gave the Azzacov ‘Fragmente’ full length cassette that we released alongside Middle Man and Coxinha Records. Jam it below and/or check the review by clicking on this text.

I (CanaDave) went to and thoroughly enjoyed the first screamo show I’ve seen in about 2.5 years. Not only that, but I filmed Jeromes Dream, Senza, and Hawak play a buncha songs for the first time since the pandemic started. Full review and blog post is available at (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) and is linked via this text.

Click on this poster for the review/videos/links/etc.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GOSPEL = New Gospel is proggy as fuck and super dense. If you can handle experimentation in screamo this will likely blow your mind.

2022 - 05 - 13 /// It is time!!!

May 13, 2022 by David Norman

Hayworth digitals for ‘License To Bill’ are now out! Tapes are also linked in our bandcamp!

Loftus just released on vinyl. Links to both stores are on the bandcamp page embedded below.

The Orphaned ‘Hate Has Consequences’ tapes are fully complete and there’s a new/sick/rare variant! Check that shit out it’s so good!

Anna Sage was recently reviewed by French Metal and got 19/20! Woot woot. Their previous EP is also reviewed and we have that in stock as well! And more good news, the records and jackets arrived in France so we should have ours early June, methinks. Click on this text to read the review <3

2022 - 05 - 12 /// Loftus mages...tomorrow

May 12, 2022 by David Norman

This is your final Loftus reminder! And hot damn this one should stick in your head after seeing these pics of the ‘Hugs and Drugs’ Wax Mage variant /25!!! What is it? For those who know their mages it’s a labelburst/party monster/chroma! Good lord they look absolutely spectacular. We also did a small run of black /102 to finalize this amazing run of a record more than due for a vinyl release. Links for the 12”s are located on the bandcamp page which is now active, but the official vinyl release is Friday May 13th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Hayworth is also tomorrow. Holy shit I’m excited. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DEAR DIARY- THIS IS FROM MY TEENAGE ANGST TO MY ADULT SELF = This unreal Chilean band released a new EP back in February and I totally missed it. Rectified! Incredible lo-fi emo-violence.
