The Rainmaking x Senza split 12” with etched b-side releases in full and goes on sale on Monday August 2t4th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! We did 125 on Insomnia splatter and 125 on Black Ice glitter as well as a few tests presses that will also go up for sale. This release has been in the works for a long time so I’m hella stoked to get this out to you!

By the way Senza’s ‘Celestial Body’ has seven copies left! Get’em before they’re gone (linked through Bandcamp below), cuz they look and sound incredible. We’ll have the split 12” in the U.S. store (linked below) upon release but you can snag a buncha other stuff there now if you’d like.

For my 200th OMSB podcast I was able to talk to Cozy St. Jean, whom I’ve been following for years - so I was stoked to hear about new material and her first (upcoming) show! For the full premiere click on the pic above or this text. To just listen to it, I’ve embedded it below.

Operation X-Ray played a buncha bangers including our very own Empathetic and Nuvolascura. Snag the former below and the latter by clicking on this text.

I Y Ezine reviewed Orphan Donor’s ‘Ailments’ cdLP that we released a few months back. It’s a great review of a truly exceptional album. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy below. Here’s an excerpt:
“Orphan Donor's work represents an emotional confusion that we can honestly call our own, capable of breaking the linear passage of time to build an alternative one, in which everything loses meaning and is rewritten and redirected, aiming to settle the chaos and bring peace to our lives.”

Wollruss has a show coming up on August 27th with a buncha sick screamo bands. ZBR distro will be in hand - if you want something specific feel free to message me and I’ll bring it. You can scope a new live song from the 2026 ZBR Fest pre-show below.

I thought I had posted the finished Constrain tapes but alas, I did not! Well here you go. I got a few extra tapes so I made three sick test dips and a transparent yellow /1
