Dagerman 12"s + Lord Wrought tapes!

April 08, 2025 by David Norman

Dagerman’s debut 12”LP ‘tragedie | VIVERE’ is officially shipping, as we got 40 of the 300 copies to spread across three stores so don’t expect them to hang around for too long. Sensational Italian screamo of the heavier variety, whilst still retaining a strong sense of dynamics and melody. Fans of Raein, La Quiete, Vibora, and Ojne need to scope this immediately.

'Mortis' by LORD WROUGHT is now on the Tomb Tree bandcamp with tapes shipping immediately. Their blend of hardcore, metal, sludge, and dare I say screamo is vicious, unrelenting, and downright evil. Oh and the tapes look sick. For fans of: Crossed, Crestfallen, and Portrayal Of Guilt.

Crossed was interviewed by Rockzone Mag and they are currently bouncing around Europe on tour. Click on the picture above for the interview, check out the tour dates below, and jam/buy that shit further down. 12”s should be arriving this month but we currently don’t have tracking.

Mourn Recif played at the final Linden House show this past Saturday and it was a blast. It was the first show with our new guitarist Josh who ran the house and also spends time in A Recorded Dawn (who also played) and Hose. Above you can see clips from the aforementioned bands as well as Emma Goldman and Coup D’etat, and below you can scope the full Mourn Recif set. I would personally recommend from Deers onward but you do you.

Emma Goldman has their release show on May 9th! Hopefully I’ll be there slingin’ extra records but I gotta see if I survive the ZBR Fest trip. Wicked bands, sick poster, amazing release, fantastic people. The Grind gave them some love which you can check out by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Operation X-Ray continues their excellent coverage of multiple scenes and genres, including Blue Youth, Mahria, Dagerman, and Satsuma in last week’s episode.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MERCY TIES = Back after a lengthy break, this group turned many an ear last week with this amazing comeback full length! Out now on The Ghost Is Clear. <3

Sutras got their second (of three) song premieres via Everything Is Noise for “Karma to Burn”. Their new six-song EP ‘The Crisis of Existence’ releases in full on April 16th!!! Part Modern Life Is War, part Touche Amore, and part Envy, this thing is powerful in a peaceful sense. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere.

This epic Emma Goldman show is going down tomorrow and CanaDave will be there slingin’ records, including the one and only test press available to the public. Got $50? It’s yours. Also, Mourn Recif is playing and we’re closing with our brand new jam and it goes harder than anything we’ve ever played.

Lord Wrought’s ‘Mortis’ EP releases on Tomb Tree this Tuesday April 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on a small run of 54 gorgeous cassettes. This Vancouver-based hardcore/grind/metalcore/screamo crossover blew me away live so picking up the pressing from Yetzer Hara Records who has moved into a specific straight-edge hardcore pocket after a brief hiatus.

Dead Hour Noise got the This Noise Is Ours treatment in a wicked track-by-track review post. We expect these 12”s in sometime this month so we’ll be posting promos as soon as we have’em, but pre-orders are up now if you can’t wait! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: BOON = Incredible new stuff from Toronto that I heard only because a member shot it over. Wicked!!!

2024 - 12 - 30 /// Zampler #24 tonight!

December 30, 2024 by David Norman

Zampler #24 releases tonight at 9pm PST / 11pm CST / 12am EST! Get the fuck ready!!! Before that time almost all strike-era packages will be brought to the post office and mailed off. Many of you already have tracking, that’ll update once I drop this ridiculous amount of packages off at a couple of post offices (so as not to inundate any one location). There are a few stragglers from Bandcamp orders that should go by the end of the week as US Dave tries to keep up, but does have a ton of other responsibilities (like a real job and a child). Here’s a pic of me with most of the orders that have accumulated over the past 6 weeks. Seriously, thanks for your support and patience <3

Operation X-Ray premiered two brand new jams from athousandangelsandseven and Keratin, as well as a Die Princess Die song. Definitely worth a listen!!!

Coup D’etat had their release show a few weeks ago on the back of their debut album release ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…?’ and CanaDave witnessed, filmed, and played said show. This thing is hot stuff and all Canada/International and Bandcamp copies are gone, but there are 7 copies left in the US store so snag’em asap if interested. Click on this text or the pic above for the full post with videos/links from each band. Listen to the release below.

If you slept on the GreenBlueGrey and Black Nails/Sharp Teeth split cassette on Tomb Tree then you literally are shit out of luck cuz they are very sold out, and did so in less than a few hours. Jam it below and weep.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LORD WROUGHT = I saw this Vancouver-based band slay in a half-pipe recently. Fucking awesome.
