Tomorrow we’ve got a surprise, two-song, lathe 7” limited to 100 copies (we’ll only have 50 though, and the band will have the remainder) dropping at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. It’s an absolute banger and the band played ZBR Fest 2022, blowing us all away. End of hints.

Riversleem got a premiere of their opening track from the forthcoming ‘A Second Release by Riversleem’ that drops September 25th on red 7” vinyl /100 Zegema Beach and the band. Big thanks to Borderline Fuckup for the premiere. That site has been poppin’ off lately. Love the anniversary posts they’ve been up to. Click on any of this text or the pic above to jam that premiere!

CanaDave has been posting ZBR Fest videos on the label’s Youtube account the past few days. These are essentially the second of two videos that will be posted in the CanaDave wrapup of ZBR Fest 2023 on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blogspot in the next few days.

There was also this Massa Nera full set filmed by [hate5six] that is definitely worth the 28 minutes of your time. All variants of every format are either sold out or almost sold out, everything can be bought/is linked through this text via our bandcamp.

CanaDave did a very full circle Out Past the Rings for Carrion Spring’s 2019 self title cassette. There’s one copy left on bandcamp! (linked here)

There were a bunch of restock updates last week that included some ZBR releases and distro items. I’ve embedded the ones below that didn’t sell immediately. These generally are down to the last copies!

CA$23.50

ZBR088 Release date: Mar. 21st, 2018
For fans of: Louise Cyphre, Loma Prieta and Carrion Spring

Flabbergastingly good, this new 11-song 12"LP by Russia's Улыбайся Ветру (aka Smile To The Wind) titled 'Illusions' is a testament to chaotic, mathy, dual screaming hardcore. Seriously this is easily a contender for album of the year and fans of any technical, blazing screamo such as Loma Prieta, Neil Perry, Crowning, Louise Cyphre and Carrion Spring will likely be so happy they may soil themselves. Yep, it's that good. And the art is unreal, created by Ekaterina Zalesskaya. Released by Zegema Beach, Dead Tank, Trace In A Maze and Upwind Productions.

'Illusions' 12" vinyl on blue/300 with insert. 11 songs. Download code included.

Fianl reminder!!!

Hey! If you have ever wanted to be a part of one of the grave, neighbors Halloween cover compilations that I do, this may be your last chance. To be honest each year it’s getting more and more difficult to get people to submit. Last year, some friends came through at the last minute and help me wrangle up some more songs, but this year it’s starting to look like i’ll have to do a bunch myself if I want to make a decent size compilation out of it. Anyway, if you have an unreleased recording of a cover song or would like to do one and can submit it by October 1, Let me know. I would love to continue doing this but if there’s no interest maybe I should just let it go.
