2023 - 06 - 19 /// In Loving Memory is this Friday!
First off, Faffle and Vault are over. Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm! Winner emails have been sent out. All orders go out this week.
In Loving Memory’s remix/remaster tapes for ‘As Years Pass and Feel Like Seconds’ are done and ready for release on Friday June 23rd from Zegema Beach and Illuminate My Heart Records. Pictured above is the primary swirl, with the other variants revealing on Wednesday. The band is actively booking shows and making new music so that’s fucking sick.
Here’s a friendly reminder that we did some new runs for .gif from god’s ‘Digital Red’ as well as both Nuvolascura full lengths. They’re all in the US store as well, and for the Nuvo tapes we have a super limited amount so we already sold half of our stock last week.
.GIF FROM GOD - Digital Red (cassetteEP) (ZBR321)
For fans of: Me And Him Call It Us, Meth., and Brazen Bull
Well holy effing crap we’re here again. Another ridiculous .GIF FROM GOD release and another ZBR variation of the Prosthetic release. This one’s much more limited than our previous offerings, coming on just 134 tapes with the band taking 75 of those. The six-piece’s growth has seen the band get ever tighter while shifting into a dirtier, darker, more nightmarish realm not unlike Meth.’s EP material. It’s straight-up a shock to the senses.
134 cassettes: 65 on ‘pink cow’s meow’ swirl, 34 on ‘digital guts’ swirl, 20 on ‘flaming swirl’, 10 on pink/blue halfsies, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case. 6 songs.

Holy shit Nerver fucking rocked the upstairs SubT as the first band up there, blasting out pretty much all of my fave Nerver shit. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ? = Atlanta-based project is some sick atmospheric blackgaze. That first jam has Blue Noise, early Deafheaven, Sickle Eater, Somn, and Hope Drone written all over it.
