2022 - 09 - 12 /// Victor Shores music video!

Although we’ve just released the Among Light discography tape, I feel it is important to insert an active band at the top of this post, so I’m using this section as a little push for this important announcement…

VICTOR SHORES new album releasing on vinyl via No Funeral Records and cassettes from Tomb Tree! Here’s a brand spankin’ new music video! Yeyeyeye!!!


Today we just released the Among Light discography cassette out of 26! Coming up next for Tomb Tree is My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest cassette for an album yet to be released!


Young Mountain and their expansive, genre-fuck of a record ‘Lost Tree’ was the subject of a recent Out Past the Rings. A few copies still in stock!


Meth…what the fuck? Yep, we even had a little group meeting in front of the stage after their set exclaiming repeatedly, “What the fuck?” and a lot of head scratching and general groin excitedness. The local band played their two EPs in full and absolutely lit the night up, playing one of the best sets I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Mesmerizing. Haunting. Sexy. This kerfuffled day of feelings happened on Day 2 of ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 on June 12th, 2022.


Operation X-Ray played some unreleased bangers from our upcoming section including Works (formerly Girl Arm), Ennui, and Apostles Of Eris, as well as some Rotting In Dirt!


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: AGOSTO NERO = Wtf this is just one guy?!?! ONE GUY?!?!?! Good lord, this is a solo project, and it’s awesome stuff kinda like a more post-rock Joliette with some serious fucking bass drops.

2022 - 09 - 11 /// Among Light tomorrow!

Rotting In Dirt 12”s are almost sold out, US store has less than 10 and the Canada/International store is down to 2! Order links on embedded in this bandcamp page.


Tomorrow is the release of the obscure Among Light from San Antonio that featured Frank and Matt of Tentacles playing as a guitar/vox + drums two-piece. Were they good? No. They were fucking amazing. And they only released a three-song demo. So I made sure to get some very limited and sick tapes to release the demo EP along with a previously unreleased/unfinished instrumental jam. The 26 tapes release tomorrow Monday September 12th, 2022 at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Below is a video I took of them playing at Austin Blood Alliance Fest back in 2015. Def make sure you make it to the second song in the video. The drums are unnnnnnreal!


Here’s an Out Past the Rings for the very in-stock ‘Protiklady’ by Czechia’s Rutka Laskier. If you like Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket, Suffocate For Fuck Sake, and the like, you need to check this out!


Heavenly Blue was born of Youth Novel and shares three members, so as the band is still writing their first material they opted to play both Heavenly Blue material in addition to a few old Youth Novel bangers. For this, I could not have been more ecstatic, and showed Maya by nearly passing out when she first told me at the fest. Without a doubt tied for my favourite set of the fest, this all happened of Day 2 of ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 on June 12th, 2022.


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SECOND GUESSING = The band popped back into existence to release this stellar two-song, 10+ minute 7”EP. Awesome Euro screamo!

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
