2025 - 08 - 06 /// Usurp Synapse vinyl announcement + Distro discount till Fri.

Usurp Synapse 2x12” for ‘Disinformation Fix’ with die-cut gatefold covers are at the plant with tests already approved. Holy fucking shit that’s exciting! Releases in October.

In an attempt to help pay for the cost I’ve got this Canadian/International store (also ships to the U.S.) on 50% off everything in the distro 12” tab and 25% off all distro 7”s (discount automatically applied within 24 hours of checkout). This goes until Friday at 9am PST when the Heaven Through Violence + Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave 7”s release.

Just a heads up, there is no shipping in the US for the next 2 weeks as U.S. Dave is on the road seeing his family. So the U.S. store is open just no shipping until after Aug 20th. Thanks for your understanding and patience regarding this matter.

Heaven Through Violence and Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave 7” finally release this Friday! We’ve only got 50 copies spread across Bandcamp, the U.S.A. store, and the Canada/International store, so if this is your jam don’t sleep on it!

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.
