RESPIRE - Début tape release/64, interview & a FREE SHIPPING code for select orders in Canada
With RESPIRE being as awesome as they are, both musically and as human beings, I felt the need to release their five physically unreleased songs on one tape, which is titled ‘Début’. We recently made 64 of them and are ecstatic to put them up for order as of right now, meaning they ship almost instantaneously. For more info about the release and a new interview where (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) asked each band member separate questions and compiled all the answers, CLICK RIGHT HERE!
There’s not only that, but a ridiculous shipping special during the month of October has just begun! Here’s what’s what:
If you place an order IN CANADA over $100 (before taxes) with NO pre-order items you can use the code FREESCREAMS to get free shipping on your entire order! We only have room for one code per week and the orders ship every Tuesday in October. So every Tuesday the code resets and the first person to use it with the above specifications gets FREE SHIPPING. Again, orders in Canada over $100 with no pre-order items can get free shipping by entering the code FREESCREAMS when checking out. That’s a freaking killer deal, thanks Canada Post!

RESPIRE - Gravity and Grace (12”LP)
ZBR062
For fans of: Old Soul, Alaskan, Godspeed You! Black Emperoror, Neil On Impression and Fall Of Efrafa
Respire is a six-piece band from Toronto, Canada, who combine epic post-hardcore, screamo, and black metal into a very cohesive formula that drips of maturity and patience. Gravity and Grace is their debut LP - a sprawling memoir of genre-defying soundscapes, reverb-washed tremolo harmonies, cascading arpeggios, dreamlike textures and walls of distorted guitars roaring over frantic rhythms, punctuated by tormented vocals and a near-orchestral array of instruments and contributors. Themes of loss, addiction, heartbreak, and existential anguish paint a bleak picture, but somewhere over the horizon rests a glimmering sense of hope, resolve and forgiveness.
This is a co-release between Zegema Beach Records (Canada), Ozona Records (USA), Dingleberry Records (Germany) and Narshardaa Records (Germany).

RESPIRE - Dénouement 12"LP (ZBR115)
For fans of: Locktender, Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket and Suffocate For Fuck Sake
This is the sophomore LP from the incredibly hard-working and talented RESPIRE. From Toronto, these six individuals collectively create a moody, emotionally draining and epic masterpiece that's even better than 'Gravity and Grace'. It's softer. It's harder. Cripes, it features more than 10 musicians at times! Get on this first press before they sell out just like the first LP. Album of the year contender, without a doubt.
