Heavenly Blue and Hot Sauce

March 25, 2023 by David Norman

FEST NEWS:

Heavenly Blue is playing ZBR Fest 2023!!! But Encarsia is out :( and I am truly bummed. But also stoked. I’m Stommed. Or Buked? Either one works.

The 2-Day Passes (that includes the pre-show too!) are almost gone! We’re into single digits here. Get’em at ZBRfest.com

Hot Sauce! Our friend and super-chef extraordinaire Pat Snell whipped up 28 bottles of ass-blasting hot sauce with ghost peppers, habanero, garlic, orange, etc. oh my god I’m dripping saliva onto the floor.

Lucidity is on Monday. It’s amazing. 100 green 12”s. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST

CanaDave did an Out Past the Rings for Dim Into Dross’s sole release ‘Specters of Indifference’. We still got some straggler cassettes, and if you order from this Canada/International store I’ll dip your tape. Yep, super rare swirls /3-> (listen here)

Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

So recently I looked at the U.S. store stock and noticed that our very first release was sold out. I looked on my self. There were only 6 left. I snatched up 4 and shipped them to the U.S. store. I have the last 2 here. Oh my god, will we actually sell out of our first release? Reminder, Amber’s self-titled 12”LP was our first release and it is still fucking incredible. Like Thurm, Mares Of Thrace, Isis, and Lightbearer? Well holy shit this is for you. Listen to it here.

Pictures Of June tape
Nhomme tape
Blind Girls everything is gone
Komuso 1st EP tape
Nuvolascura 2nd LP tape/12”

2022 - 02 - 23 /// Crossed single and more!

February 23, 2022 by David Norman

Crossed has a new album coming out in April and we’ve just dropped the new single. It’s a deceptive jam which utilizes a slow burn and some new post-hardcore/spoken-word concepts before exploding outright halfway through, Crossed-style.

Eunoia pre-orders went up for ‘Psyop of the Year’ tapes through us and cd through Nefarious Indutries. Super sick, experimental, genre-defying hardcore/screamo/whatever from Cincinnati, Ohio. Full release in April, but you can find a ton of info about it in this awesome post and jam a song!

EUNOIA - Psyop of the Year (cassette)

from CA$12.00

EUNOIA ‘Psyop of the Year’ cassette EP (TTT064)

For fans of: Supine, Die Princess Die, Past Forms, and The Pax Cecilia.

Mysterious, quirky, self-aware, experimental, and all over the fucking place, this Cincinnati, Ohio three-piece have created an extremely unique piece of work. Running frantically somewhere between post-hardcore, math-rock, and experimental screamo, ‘Psyop of the Year’ rocks through 8
whether it’s the groovy “Mozambique Drill” single, the instrumental math-rock “Black Highlighter”, the devastating “How to Watch Pro Football“, or that ridiculously screamy opener “A Snide Remark from the Invisible Hand“, EUNOIA’s new album has something for just about anyone…except those looking for answers. Released on cd by Nefarious Industries.

Tapes /55, 21 on swirl, 34 on red, all w/fold-out jcard. 8 songs.

Listen here:

Colour:

Red (/38) Red swirl (/17) Set of both variants

The Apostles Of Eris + Encarsia split cassette releases tomorrow with six new tracks. I’m biased as I do vocals for AOE, but I think this is the best split I’ve ever been a part of. Encarsia’s tracks are like Edhochuli meets Leer in all the amazing ways you might be imagining right now, and AOE’s are the most fleshed out yet and include guest vocals by Sammy Gurule of Warren Of Ohms on all three songs. This will premiere via This Noise Is Ours sometime around 12pm CST and we’ll share it around with the order links then.

If you follow screamo in the slightest then you definitely saw/heard/bought the new Defacto En Scripture cassette/cd from Middle Man Records. Honestly this might end up taking LP of the year cuz these 28 jams are spectacular, and considering each song has different members but it still sounds cohesive…well, I didn’t even think that was possible. GET ON IT!!!

Big Stuff Thing #2 (aka rebalance) has been pushed back into March due to so many releases happening at the end of February. We currently have it set for March 12th, 2022.

Zegema Beach Records Fest Mid-West 2022 full lineup reveals on Friday! Good lord…get ready!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DEFACTO EN SCRIPTURE = see above, this album is the pinnacle of screamo.
