Tristan Tzara releases, Volp next, Telos on sale :(

February 02, 2024 by David Norman

Tristan Tzara’s ‘discography’ released two days ago with the mages and tacos immediately selling out, with the random color following (as we currently have 4 left), with black dwindling after that and a handful of metallic reds that should be in stock at least until summer. So if you’re picky I wouldn’t wait, but if metallic red is your game there’s no massive rush <3 Remember European friends can order from Dog Knights and Voice Of The Unheard. Shove Records in Italy will also get at least 10 copies in the near future.

Telos released an truly incredible album…then they broke up. Absolutely gutted. We’ve put the tapes on sale for the next week in case you want to pick one up, as we won’t be making more!

TELOS - Delude (cassette)

from CA$12.50

TELOS ‘Delude’ cassette LP (TT079)

For fans of: Hexis, Rotting In Dirt, Malevich, and I Am A Curse.

Denmark’s finest blackened hardcore/metal supergroup have released their finest work to date, as this LP is absolutely sensational. Simultaneously epic, destructive, and forward-thinking, these 8 tracks span more than most bands in any of the aforementioned genres. Definitely in line for one of the best of 2023.

Tapes /36, 20 on grey swirl, 10 on broken gold swirl, 3 on grey, and 3 test dips, all w/jcard. 8 songs.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got a shoutout in the January’s Last of the Month by Borderline Fuckup. We’ve moved through a fair amount of these babies and once they sell out we won’t be repressing anytime soon…cuz it’s just an internet project. T.J. McSnaggerson the III (jr.)!!!

And finally, This Noise Is Ours did a nice piece on the People’s Temple Project + Sleeper Wave split 12” via their ZBR Roster Review series. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam that shit below. We might even have one copy left!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA = This new album just came out today! Geeeeeeeet it!

2024 - 01 - 16 /// OFIAAS is out, Edhochuli single, Llewelyn music video

January 16, 2024 by David Norman

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow’s debut 12” ‘LP’ is officially out and making the rounds. It’s on Bandcamp right now with Spotify and all other platforms on January 20th. You can snag a black vinyl /100 if you dig the songs, and it comes with an insert so you can find out what the hell we’re all screamin’ about. Not Just A Phase gave a very awesome review which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic below.

Edhochuli’s new single is out! Playing off the “Totally Caveman” title, “Questionably Paleo, Incontrovertibly Neanderthal” is a seven-minute romp through treacherous rock’n’roll mixed with hardcore and screamo. It’s a fantastic time that you can purchase in full February 12th on 12”!

Llewelyn released ‘Disposable Culture’ late last year on Tomb Tree and they recently released an official music video for the title track. Watch it above and jam/buy the EP below!

Tomb Tree will be dropping the Carrion Spring cassettes for ‘How It All Falls Away Petal By Petal’ tomorrow aka Wednesday January 17th at 9am PST / 11am CST /12pm EST. Above is the primary variant /60 reveal! Jam/download below :) Catch’em at ZBR Fest 2024!!!

Inosuke 12”s just came in, we’ll have pics shortly and start shipping later this week/next week. Bandcamp/Canada store orders will take an extra week whilst the US Store ships them to Canada. This Noise Is Ours gave them an excellent review that you can read by clicking on this text or the pic above. Jam/buy below!

Mathcore Index did their list of best stuff from 2023 and our Euclid C Finder (obviously) made the list, along with Closet Witch’s sensational return, Telos’ ‘Delude’ and the In Loving Memory EP ‘A Gentler Sun’. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full lists.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KNUMEARS = When this band releases a new album we’ll all lose our minds. So good! (pronounced “NUM-ears”)

2023 - 08 - 14 /// ORBIT CINTA BENJAMIN + WIDOWDUSK + IHUNTMONSTERS

August 14, 2023 by David Norman

Not Just a Phase sold out. There’s a few left over in case some orders get lost, so if we still got’em in a few weeks we’ll add them to the next Big Stuff Thing.

Widowdusk + Ihuntmonsters split tapes just released and likely will sell out today! This is Tomb Tree #100 and quite a milestone for the label <3 If you didn’t notice, the two variants together read as Tomb Tree and to be completely honest this was a total coincidence that I exploited. Or maybe it was destiny. New art by Kyle Calvert Design!!!

Orbit Cinta Benjamin just premiered their single from the Flirt split cassette set to release next week on Tomb Tree!!! Click this text or the picture above to go to the review from Not Just A Phase.

Loose Teeth and Life In Vacuum’s Alexander Clark joined Canada on the OMSB podcast. The last few copies of their Constrain split will go to the band for their tour as of tomorrow, so it’s now or never from Tomb Tree! Click on this text or the picture above to go to the podcast and additional links.

Operation X-Ray gave a shout-out to ZBR again in their 2nd comeback episode, featuring Dear Diary This Is From My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self as well as Hillsboro who is releasing on CanaDave’s softer label Softseed Music in September.

Mathcore Index’s Mathcast gave some love to Seasons Worn who released their sophomore EP a few weeks back on Tomb Tree. Amazing metalcore with prog influences. Tapes still in stock!!!

Both Dave’s have been in love with Closet Witch for years (we even sport identical couple hoodies!) so it was a no brainer to ask the Iowa-based band to tear our ears apart. And they did. New album coming 2023 <3 We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming! Actually, there are only two more!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HEXIS = Our Denmark friends just released a split with fellow countrymen Telos (whom Tomb Tree works with) which you can snag from Init Records. Remember Hexis + Trauma Model is the next Canadian ZBR show on Vancounver Island in Victoria, tickets here!!!

2023 - 07 - 07 /// Nhomme's Second Course

July 10, 2023 by David Norman

Nhomme’s 2023 EP sold out months back and today we release the second run of cassettes. 152 more copies were made, variants include 95 white/black/silver sparkle (almost all band copies), 35 multi-color swirl, 10 purple swirl, 4 test dips, 5 bandcamp-exclusive stamped bag editions, and 3 clear. They release on the hour, today at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. I gotta head out to band practice so the bandcamp editions are live now!!!

Seasons Worn releases this Friday! Here are the variants for this awesome metalcore EP from Vancouver. In fact, This Noise Is Ours was so taken with it that they reviewed the full EP after already posting a single song premiere. Thanks James! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Excrucis did a podcast with CanaDave cuz Michael and Linda both have a past with him and their new album in sensational. Tapes are in the Tomb Tree section of our store! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the interview post.

One of the best heavy albums of the year got yet another review, as Telos continues to dominate the Best Of 2023 metal category (for me, at least). We got some 12”s in stock as well as the Tomb Tree tapes but the Canada/International store already sold out, US copies are the only ones that remain! Click on this text or the picture above for the review.

Lower Automation sent over a lyric booklet in PDF that you can snag when you download the ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’ album from our bandcamp. Very cool stuff!

Orphan Donor made my head explode at ZBR Fest. They were awesome, and considering this was born as the drummer’s solo project…that’s extra impressive. 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: They Call Me Armageddon Volume 6 = This ridiculous comp has a ton of sick bands on it, including an unreleased Aux.Aura jam!

2023 - 04 - 11 /// New Joliette!!!

April 12, 2023 by David Norman

In absolutely massive news, Joliette released the new single from their upcoming EP which Zegema Beach is releasing! Unparalleled experimental screamo from the Mexican masters. Jam the song over at Idioteq.com by clicking on the pic or this text. Full release later this summer!

Scenario teaser, full music video tomorrow on Brooklyn Vegan. New 12”LP releasing in full (digitally and physically) on Monday April 24th, 2023!!! Snag from Zegema Beach Records, The Ghost Is Clear Records, and Mishap Records.

Stereogum gave some love to the new 4-way split cassette that was released on Monday. Tapes are moving exceptionally fast, but that makes sense cuz we sold out of Alas and Hetta releases months ago. Go to the article by clicking on this text or the pic above.

Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

After a quick surge in Crowning purchases we’re now down to our last Crowning + Maree Noire split cassette. This won’t be made again (something else is planned muhahahaha) so snag this or forever hold your peace.

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”
Euth 12”LP
Terry Green + Huge Cosmic split
Subjects/Rulers tape
Pictures Of June tape

sold out

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)

CA$7.50

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split cassetteEP (ZBR135)

for fans of: Youth Funeral, Itto, Loma Prieta, Kid Feral, Hundreds Of AU and Minaret.

This unbelievable split came about because the tour bands toured together in late 2017 in Canada, forging a tight bond that is now solidified on a small run of tapes. Both bands offer up three new jams, but alternate with each new track, making for a more cohesive listen that is more of a collaboration that a split. Chicago’s CROWNING continue to build a name for themselves, and with just reason, these songs are short, fiery blasts that are reminiscent of vocalist James’ old band Itto as well as Youth Funeral. Quebec’s MARÉE NOIRE drop three much more chaotic and aggressive tunes than their 2017 demo EP, falling somewhere between Kid Feral and Minaret.

150 copies on rubine red tapes with j-card and download code.

CanaDave banged out another Out Past the Rings for ZBR153 aka the Tröpical Ice Land and their latest album ‘D’. We’re long sold out but I think the other labels are still stocking plus the band definitely still has some on bandcamp! (listen to it here)
