BLIND GIRLS ‘The Weight of Everything’ cassette/12"LP (ZBR284)
For fans of: Nuvolascura, Mouthing, and Frail Hands.
Gold Coast, Australia’s BLIND GIRLS have been kicking screamo in the ass for the better part of a decade at this point, so it was only natural that band progress in another new way on their most recent ‘The Weight of Everything’. With a new lineup, the band has shed the prettier and “skramzier” side and opted for a darker, more visceral approach that will leave the listener gasping for breath. Prepare for pummeling ten times over across two popping variants. We also have some sets available if you missed out on their previous/incredible endeavor ‘Residue’ that include the black swirl paired with the coke-bottle variant of the new LP. 2nd pressing released on wax mage with No Funeral and Life.Lair.Regret Records!!!
Cassettes /111, 53 on clear swirl, 25 on black swirl, 14 band tour swirls, 5 No Funeral swirls, 5 ZBR swirls, 5 test dips, and 4 mystery swirls, all with j-card.
12" vinyl (1st press) /350, 100 on orange and 250 on coke-bottle clear with insert.
12" vinyl (2nd press) /352, 218 random color, 104 nebula, 25 wax mage, and 5 tests, all with insert. 10 tracks.

The Crossed pre-order for ‘Morir’ was also released today, although only two tracks are available until April 8th when the full thing is released. We only have 50 copies spread across our two stores and if their first 12” is any indication we will most definitely sell out. Both of our store links are located on our bandcamp page which can be accessed by click this text.
CROSSED ‘Morir‘ 12"LP (ZBR281)
For fans of: Cursed, Tentacles, and Majority Rule.
The sophomore full length from Spain’s CROSSED is every bit as angry and disgusting as it’s predecessor, but the band implements a few different experimental injections that merge the sounds of crust, post-hardcore, and sludge. Still screamy as fuck and downright devastating, though. More gorgeous art and packaging from Rodrigo, with a stunning screened b-side. Right now two tracks are available but as of April 8th, 2022 all 10 jams will be in hand to punch you in the face.
12”LP /300 on clear vinyl with screened b-side. Includes insert. 10 songs.

CanaDave said some words about The Ultimate Screamo Band’s 10” ‘Tout Est Fini’ in the 106th installment of Out Past the Rings. We are sold out, but get some insider info including how to paint records!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: RHA. = This German band released my most overlooked 12”LP of 2019, an amazing work of post-rock, screamo, and metallic hardcore. Think Trainwreck meets City Of Caterpillar and Angel Eyes. Truly incredible.
