Piri Reispress on Friday!!!

November 17, 2022 by David Norman

Piri Reis repress tomorrow! The first press of ‘Ritma’ sold out in a day and we had 50 copies. Same deal this time but on a new/sick splatter variant. Plus a nice little distro update that includes Daighila’s new 12”LP, Blue Skies Fade tapes, and the new Pique 12”LP.

Me And Him Call It Us were on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast and Aaron gave Zegema Beach Records some love. This also acted as a soft Lower Automation premiere for their new song “End Scene”, the closer from the Nov 22nd ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’ 12”LP. Click on this text or the picture below to listen!

Oooo baby Paramind Recordings posted the full Virgin Mother set! 12”s still available through Tomb Tree!

Speaking of full sets, here’s Orphaned’s full set from earlier this month at Saint Vitus. Tomb Tree released four massive songs on the band’s debut cassette, a few copies still remain.

Infall was reviewed on Grind On The Road and got an awesome grade! Way to go fellas! This full length is getting A LOT of attention so nab a tape while you still can! Click on this text to go to the review.

Here’s a мятеж/Samarra review in the ongoing This Noise Is Ours series for the Zegema Beach Records Roster Review. We actually still have tapes of this! Why? I have no idea Samarra was sick as fuck and this is the only place you can actually hear the worst мятеж song ever.

Massa Nera’s new single/music video “Adrift” was featured on Destroy//Exist. Check it out by clicking on this text!

2022 - 05 - 07 /// It's Hayworth!

May 07, 2022 by David Norman

If you love Hayworth and didn’t get all those ‘License To Bill’ hints then shame on you. If you still don’t know what I’m talking about, Hayworth’s first demo was kinda lost to the sands of time. No masters. Only 25 cdrs made. Not on bandcamp or streaming services. So after badgering the band for a few years they finally agreed to releasing these fantastic early songs on cassette. We had Joni from Curry Lands clean up and remaster the mp3s and Kyle from Heathen Hand do the updated art and then made 250 cassettes across some of our nicest tapes ever. More news coming early next week including variants.

The tapes release simultaneously with Loftus on Friday May 13th, 2022 at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Piet Onthel released yesterday and it was already picked up by Stereogum so check the review by clicking on this text or jam those five fiery jam below.

Azzacov releases tomorrow via Tomb Tree, Middle Man, and Coxinha Records early in the morning, so be prepared to have a violent and emotional Sunday morning.

If you missed the Orphaned ‘Hate Has Consequences’ take a listen because the tapes arrived yesterday and I’m already done all the dipping so they’ll start shipping out next week. We also got 5 overs so I will made an overs variant /5 that will go up next week when they are ready to ship. Devastating shit, good god.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GLARUS = Ex-Big Machine, this post-rock/hardcore/metal is pretty fuckin’ big, too. And dark. And awesome. FFO: Isis, Across Tundras, Punchline Hunting Season, Fall Of Efrafa, etc.

Gold Coast, Australia’s BLIND GIRLS have been kicking screamo in the ass for the better part of a decade at this point, so it was only natural that band progress in another new way on their most recent ‘The Weight of Everything’.

Apostles Of Eris and Gossip’s split 12” ‘Drone and Cull’ was released a few days ago and we’re already about 75% sold out. There are only 111 so we don’t expect them to sit around too long. Check it out below.
