2026 - 11 - 06 /// A Third Release by Riversleem!!!
A Third Release by Riversleem has released! This Saskatchewan four-piece has released each of their GRB 7”s on ZBR and this new blue EP is a fucking bomb. Pick up a copy asap, as of the 100 copies ZBR only has 20, I’ve even got the last few of the earlier 7”s in stock so there are a few triple bundles for those who would like to obtain the band’s entire discography thus far. I do believe their next release is an LP, so once these sell out I don’t expect them to rerelease again soon, and if they do eventually get repressed I’d probably shoot for a 12” that compiles all of the EPs, so this is kind of your last chance to snag these 7”s!!! Jam/buy below, and check the music video below that.
A friendly reminder that the Zegema Beach Records Fest 2027 tickets are live. Info below!!!

Alright y’all, bad news. Those 12 EU countries that imposed tariffs (damn you, btw) now has an option for me to send via Canada Post, but literally every order will cost an additional $10 processing fee (in addition to the tariff) so I’m going to see if I can ship a big-ass box to a European friend and have them send out the orders. Moving forward, I would LOOOOOOVE for a Euro label to hit me up about being the dang Euro store - but remember you’d have to take every release (which seems to have been the issue thus far). This was a huge groin blow. Fuck you Zonos.
In a recent box from the closed US store in Chicago, I uncovered a few final copies of the below releases. Crossed is the only one below that has any possibility of being repressed so snag’em now!!!
TERRY GREEN ‘Provisional Living‘ 12”LP (ZB347)
For fans of: Who Calls So Loud, State Faults, Leer, and Party Hats.
A decade after their debut full length, Mississauga Ontario’s TERRY GREEN is officially back with their sophomore 12”LP!!! During the last 10 years the band has been honing their sound, playing a ton of live shows, gaining members, writing this phenomenal follow-up, and gaining one helluva rabidly loyal fanbase. This album is more than worth the wait, with Terry turning it up a notch, featuring some ear-shattering screaming, wicked guitar interplay, with a simultaneously chaotic and groovy rhythm section. Just like the 2014 self-titled, it falls somewhere in the middle of the emo/screamo/country triangle and will go down in screamo history. Terry for Prime Minister!!!
12”s /300: 150 x white/red quad and 150 x red w/yellow splatter. Includes one-sided insert. 9 tracks.

CROSSED ‘Vida Quieta‘ 12"EP (ZBR352)
For fans of: Cursed, Tentacles, and Majority Rule.
Spain’s CROSSED are back again, this time with a new four-song EP. These jams are quite diverse, including screamo/emo-violence, some near death metal sections, some singy Viva Belgrado stuff, and some noise/electronic moments. ‘Vida Quieta’ is the band’s most diverse and confident set of recordings to date, and you can see them play it at ZBR Fest 2024! All of our previous Crossed records sold out in a month or less, so hard recommend on picking one up sooner rather than later.
12”LP /250 on clear vinyl with screened b-side. Includes insert. 4 songs.

CARA NEIR ‘Phantasmal‘ 12"LP (ZB290)
For fans of: Horse The Band, Gonemage, and An Albatross
Building off of the immensely dense and imaginative story/album ‘Phase Out’, the prolific CARA NEIR has released the second of three experimental black metal, chip-tune, hardcore, screamo albums in their video game + music series. ‘Phantasmal’ is a survival horror game. Chris and Garry find themselves warped from The One's RPG Gauntlet into a darker dimension known as Saint Succipio. Pulling the strings of this sinister and strangely familiar place is a pale entity known as Rex. Set in what seems like a suburban neighborhood, yet off-kilter with its eerie silence and inhuman presence lurking the deeper one ventures. Released across 289 12”s by the absolute legends at Wax Mage / Gotta Groove:
159 “Hellfire Rex Swirl“ red
105 “Health Points Infinity” OG handmade splatter
25 “Save Data Corrupted By Portals” Wax Mage
5 Test Presses
Includes two-sided insert and stickers (only included in the Hellfire Rex Swirl). 1 in 10 Hellfire Rex Swirl will be switched out for a mage or OG splatter, so if you miss on the initial drop then you still have a chance at scoring the more sought after variants. 16 tracks.

For fans of: Yaphet Kotto, Killie and Ampere.
The final album from one of Japan's most intense and innovative bands is finally upon us! 14 tracks of despair, hope, passion and fury for fans of Killie, Louise Cyphre, and Envy. Breaking up in the middle of 2013, TETOLA93 tracked one final album that will stand as their legacy - and they recorded entirely by themselves. The album combines re-recordings of old favorites with new epic songs and a fully realized production that brings everything together. This is truly one of the most ground-breaking records to come out of Japan and a serious contender for album of the year. The LP comes on black vinyl with lyric insert & download card sealed in a printed envelope, all in a full-color jacket printed on recycled chipboard. The limited Japanese edition comes with a hand-printed CD-R containing all the tracks and is available during pre-orders ONLY. This album is a co-production between Seattle's MeatCubeLabel and Canada's Zegema Beach Records.
For fans of: Killie, Circle Takes The Squre, Combat Wounded Veteran, Yaphet Kotto, Me And Him Make It Us and I Am Alaska.
