2022 - 12 - 30 /// Zampler #20 'The Twawntiuth'

Zampler #20 - The Twawntiuth is here and ready to kick your ass. 26 songs, four of which are previously unreleased, make up this stellar collection of bands from around the world playing physically challenging/demanding music. This is the first of the digital zamplers so no cds will be made for this. If you’d like to support us just buy something from our stores or donate on our bandcamp page.

We’re about to start our 10-day break (usually 14 days but we’ve been pretty on it this last 6 months) so don’t expect any posts or updates until January 9th. We’ll still be shipping 2022 orders during that time in an effort to catch up 100%, but the New Day Rising 12”s are currently at a plant that is giving us zero communication so hopefully we get those early 2023 and can ship those orders. Also, we have tracking for the Reversal Of Man 3x12”s so we’ll have those end of January and everyone will have theirs in their hands come February.



We are down to our absolute final copy of Respire vinyl, and it’s the 3rd pressing of ‘Gravity and Grace’ on half black/half white 12”. Who knows when a 4th is coming out and if another label will be the ones doing it (cuz they got signed). <3

Young Mountain Lost Tree 12”

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).

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA = The longest running screamo band just released a new full length! Middle Man also has tons of sales items up so head over to Middle Man Records!

2022 - 09 - 09 /// Among Light announcement

Rotting In Dirt 12”s out and now on bandcamp for free/pay what you want download! Get at’em!



Among Light tapes have been done for about a month and next week we finally unleash a super limited batch of 26 that includes some housed in (I would think) the first ever swirl dipped cassette pillow cases. These release on Monday September 12th via our little bitty baby Tomb Tree!

This band features the drummer and one of the guitar players that dropped constant fire with Tentacles, so you know you’re getting some top notch dark, writhing screamo. Here’s the most recent Tentacles LP that we have but a copy or two left of.


Out Past the Rings for Respire’s ‘Denouement’ 12”LP. I think we are officially sold out of this, but have a handful of ‘Gravity and Grace’ left as well as tapes for ‘Black Line’.


Armywives shattered my expectations of them, and by quite a fair margin. After finding out about them from posting those sick Kidcrash-esque singles a few years back, we were lucky enough to release their last two EPs, the first as a tape and the second as part of the 2021 4-Way 12”. They were perhaps the most lively, entertaining, and excited band of Day 2 at ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 on June 12th, 2022.



Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NESSEL = This debut release came our way via the vocalist of Amber and Thurm! Massive, dark, and ear-crushing stuff from Germany and Icorrupt <3
