2026 - 5 - 15 /// Orphan Donor and I.O. released!

May 15, 2026 by David Norman

Hello friends! We’ve got some huge changeups happening at ZBR as we lead into summer, and things will never be same. What’s the news? You’ll see, but we can definitely call it the next chapter of Zegema Beach Records.

Until then check out Orphan Donor and I.O. both of which released in the last week.

1 white.jpg 2 orange swirl.jpg 3 random.jpg

I.O. just released ‘The Beatniks Couldn’t Save The World’ which is Max from Wollruss and Pet Retina, and is an absolute beast of drummer. This release has him coupled with long-time collaborator JP who weaves an intricate web of poetry amidst the chaos. Truly incredible stuff! Tomb Tree made tapes for this but out of 200 copies we’ve only got 30 as this guy tour relentlessly…and is actually on tour right now!


I knew Fingerswoventogether were sick cuz their first EP was awesome but the new EP is phenomenal - but at ZBR Fest I puked my brain outta my mouth. Insane shit. So fucking good. Etc. Larry Records is out of the 10”, we’re down to less than 10 copies, and Severed Records should have some too.


On the most recent Operation X-Ray played new Orphan Donor and Fingerswoventogether, both of which are the two releases flying out of our stores so snag those soon or it’ll be too late.

Closet Witch came out on Friday and you should definitely get one. Arguably album of the year. Fucking amazing shit. Plus the band is hiatus as of the release so extra support is always appreciated. Moshpit Nation did a piece about it which you can check out by clicking the picture above or this text. Thank you my friends!


CanaDave did a new Out Past the Rings for the first Snag 12”LP titled ‘Snag’. It’s long sold out (cuz it rules), so if you are hankering for something else Snag maybe check this out as there’s some decent info amidst a lotta bullshit lol.


Operation X-Ray is always on the ball, this time playing our homies Closet Witch and Llewelyn.


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: RILE = Awesome mathy/metallic hardcore from Utah. Fans of Coarse, The Chariot, Rotting In Dirt, and Botch should dig this. I sure as hell do.

2022 - 10 - 07 /// Tomb Tree trips out

October 07, 2022 by David Norman

Tomb Tree is going off the rails today. Is it because of Bandcamp Friday? No actually, CanaDave didn’t even realize that was the case until 2 hours before it began. Nonetheless, here’s the breakdown for today’s releases as well as an official/final Of Death reminder for the impending release this Monday October 10th @9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST via Zegema Beach Records and Cliff Parade Records with additional help from Law Of Cycles.

First up? Georgia’s Colacon. They’ve already released two ear-ravaging music videos so without further ado, ‘The Pestilent Sickness’!!!


bandcamp.jpg 1 spider swirl.jpg 2 flowers and flowers and flowers swirl.jpg 3 two loves swirl.jpg

Next up is the ridiculously prolific To Be Gentle from Portland, Oregon as they’re pulling double-duty today! They released the digital full length ‘Unbroken’ back in August and now we’ve got our very sexy tapes ready to go! Digitals were also released on our Bandcamp today so feel free to jam/grab it today as it’s Bandcamp Friday and you’d be funding more Zegema Beach and Tomb Tree releases! These tapes are shipping now and look awesome!!!


The new album ‘it always hurts and one day it will win‘ released today and we’ve got cassette pre-orders. We’ll hold off on our Bandcamp release until we’ve got the physical tapes in (should be late October, shipping early November). This album is absolutely sensational and our vote for their best work thus far.

TO BE GENTLE ‘it always hurts and one day it will win’ cassette LP (TT083)

For fans of: Envy, Daitro, and Gillian Carter.

Arguably the strongest TO BE GENTLE release to date, ‘it always hurts and one day it will win‘ is a truly special collection of 10 songs that deal with honesty, accountability, beauty, loss, and acceptance through the medium of post-hardcore, screamo, post-rock, grind, and metal. The level of emotion, catharsis, and songwriting here is enveloping and caressing, despite being rooted in aggressive music. The gorgeous/epic “greenhug”, the mathy/chuggy “i worship what will kill me”, and the fuzzed-out grunge of “we are all connected and we all love you“ are prime examples of the mastery shown here, but every track provides its own insular and warming experience.

Tapes /66, 34 on primary swirl, 15 on secondary swirl (5 of these are available as a set w/Unbroken), 10 rare swirl, “outta 2” swirl, and 5 test dips, all w/jcard and download code. 10 songs.

Virgin Mother released physically yesterday and we’ll have it on sale for a few bucks off until the official digital release on October 14th, 2022. We did 113 12”LPs and with the band taking some we’re already half depleted! Features Seb of Meth., Cadence Fox, and a million other things.

VIRGIN MOTHER ‘Mourning Ritual’ 12”LP (TT078)

For fans of: An Autumn For Crippled Children, New Order, and Meth.

Over two years ago we released a short run of demo tapes titled ‘It Is’, and after much more writing, polishing, and expanding of the VIRGIN MOTHER sound, we are set to drop the brand new debut 12”LP ‘Mourning Ritual’ on Friday October 17th. Drawing cues from industrial, new wave, black metal, noise, screamo, punk, post-punk, and more, this deep, dark look into Seb’s subconscious and it’s subsequent artistic representation is truly a work of art. From the hellish, eerie, almost gothic-sounding intro of “[promised end]“ it becomes obvious that this album is meant to be consumed in full, with spiking adrenaline surges (see “I’d Never Feel Like Anything” and “Fault”), soothing/groovy vibes (“Traffic Stop” and “Black Light On 16th Street“), uncomfortable noise (“Vanity’s Sake“ and “Parasite“) and the epic genre-mashes (“Blossoming Winter” and “Field of Warmth“). Released on Tomb Tree. Ships mid-October.

Vinyl /113 on 180gram Eco-Grime. Includes sticker. 11 songs.

Softseed Music just released the new Venus Twins album ‘RAXIS’. You might remember their release on Tomb Tree a few years back, incredible bass and drums duo doing a garage/noise rock/sass-punk thing that fans of Death From Above 1979, Big Dick, and Raw Grip will fucking love. I sure do!

SNAG / SWALLOWS NEST - Split cassetteEP + poster (ZBR125)

for fans of: People's Temple Project, Robots Don't Cry, Dangers! and Welcome The Plague Year.

This U.S./New Zealand split came about as the two bands are adamant in their stand with the environment, thus gravitating toward one another from across the globe. SNAG offers up an epic and astounding six-minute masterpiece of late 90/early 2000s driven screamo while SWALLOWS NEST drop two tracks with layered male/female screaming atop dark, screamy post-hardcore. Tapes come in an 11x17 two-sided poster with lyrics and band statements.

200 copies on white tapes with two-sided poster/lyric sheet and download code.
