Sans Visage is next!

December 09, 2025 by David Norman

Sans Visage tapes arrive tomorrow and will be ready for their December 15th release. ‘drowned/resistance’ houses five jams, many of which are re-recorded versions of earlier songs. I’ll have some pictures ready before they drop. This EP is sooooo good! Their previous LP is also insanely good, and I’ve got 3 copies left below/pictured above!

I decided to keep this open for another week, with it closing Friday at 11:59pm PST and then items I still don’t want I’ll put up in the stores but all sales prices will revert back to normal prices. So that affects a ton of the cds in there, so scope now if you want a deal. A few choice items embedded below!

Demersal has arrived in Canada! They’ll arrive in the US late December, so sorry about the delay but it was completely out of our hands.

Just a friendly reminder that Softseed Music is releasing the first Mercy Necromancy EP ‘Fallen’ on 12” with a special surprise. Mmmhmm. If you need a Dollanganger fix in-between albums, there is nothing better to ease the pain. In fact, it’s so good you’ll end up falling in love with this too.

Inosuke’s ‘Allomancer’ got a nice review from This Noise Is Ours that you should scope. Our 10”s for this are dwindling as we only got 25 of each variant. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review, jam/buy below!

Twins, Sine Nomine, and Hetta were featured on this banger-busting episode of Operation X-Ray. Jam/buy Hetta below!

The Noise of November 2025 included Jota and Hetta! Thanks Everything Is Noise. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam Hetta above and Jota below!

Dollie Rot was named artist of the month by The Eastern Echo! Congratulations, Queen. Snag a tape of her first two EPs below. I’m down to just one variant left. Click on the pic above or this text for the full article.

Avery Friedman got the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) treatment. Read the review, jam the album, watch the live session videos, snag that 12” baby! Access the review by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Piri Reis gets our Last Fucking Copy today, as these tapes were made for New Friends Fest 2025 and the /100 is already pretty much donezo. The band sold out on tour and the 12”s have sold out of numerous pressings aka get this now! Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SMUSH = Oh my god there’s new Smush and it’s amazing. Is it a cover? You betcha, the new EP is all covers and I’ve heard it…so fucking good. I believe the entire thing comes out in January.

2025 - 12 - 01 /// Mercy Necromancy 12" pre-order

December 01, 2025 by David Norman

Well holy shit, CanaDave is in heaven because his Softseed Music label is releasing Mercy Necromancy for the first time…on vinyl! The 12” pre-order for ‘Fallen’ just went up so please go snag that if minimal/ethereal goth with the most gorgeous of vocals. For fans of: Nicole Dollanganger, Ethel Cain, Grouper, Cozy St. Jean, etc. 12”s should be in hand March 2026.

CanaDave’s SkramzCave closes at midnight tonight PST, but just a heads up if you already scoped - a buncha new stuff was added to the “miscellaneous page” if you wanna check it before finishing up at my place. Above are a pics of a few choice products that haven’t sold yet, and the links for the pages are below. They are comprised of a vast number of personal items that I just don’t need anymore and would live better lives in homes that have the space and time to appreciate them.

Vinyl + Cassettes -> https://www.zegemabeachrecords.com/skramzcave1
CDs + Stickers + Patches + Buttons (aka misc) -> https://www.zegemabeachrecords.com/skramzcave2

Hetta tapes are all finished! The US box heads out today so if you ordered from there they’ll be shipping mid-December but all other orders will go out this week. And just a heads up, we ended up with an extra copy so there’s now an /1 white variant!!! Truly like a scalpel to the brain, this shit will fuck you up.

The new album from Fainting Dreams ‘You Can Be Anything’ got an amazing review from none other than Everything Is Noise. We sold a good amount of these tapes already and some variants are sold out so if gorgeous trauma is your thing, snag immediately. For fans of: Ethel Cain, Nicole Dollanganger, and Lingua Ignota. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review, jam/buy below.

ZBR Fest 2026 is already nearly complete. We’ve got 20 bands already confirmed with the final round having until this week to let us know if they can play. It’s going down May 1st (pre-show) in Victoria on Vancouver Island, then May 2nd and 3rd (day 1 + day 2) in Vancouver on the mainland. Please note that cities are confusing here and Victoria and Vancouver are about 3 hours apart via a ferry, so if you plan on attending the pre-show and the main fest you should book some place to stay in or around Victoria or you’ll get stranded as the ferries close by the time the pre-show ends. We’ll start revealing bands in January!

Emma Goldman and Blue Youth made the Best Album Covers of 2025 by Cups’n’Cakes Pod. What was your favourite? I think, off the top of my head, I liked the Usurp Synapse art but I’m pretty goddamn fucking biased. Check out the full list by clicking on the pic above or this text. Check out the exceptional ‘Defeatist’ 12”LP below!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to Stormlight! I thought we were mad outta these tapes but I just found one more and it’s the best variant (gas swirl) on our Bandcamp page. I don’t expect we’ll make more of these as the band is dormant and it took us five years to sell all this stuff. Features Erik from Lord Snow/Inosuke and Sean from Loma Prieta/Jeromes Dream. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HYNOKI = Very stoked on this Richmond, Virginia band as I was awaiting this release and ooooo baby it does not disappoint.

2025 - 09 - 05 /// Twins pre-order, Emma Goldman music video, Serrate LP out Monday!

September 05, 2025 by David Norman

When we were sent the Serrate debut full length our jaws fell clean off. Their abrasive yet melodic take on screamo/metallic hardcore is superb, and is our next release on Monday September 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. There will be both neon green and neon red vinyl available and we’ve already got dem copies! Check out the music video above and an interview with member Matt Evans below (you can also click on this text to go to the proper Getting It Out podcast page! Kinda like Converge meets Orchid!

Twins pre-orders for ‘it_s complicated’ released yesterday alongside a music video for “Goodbye”. We’ve already moved about half of our copies or so of the wild, eccentric, unique, and just plain awesome German release. It’s on 200 “Confused splatter” and 100 “Canary yellow” 12”s. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the pre-order. Watch that video below!

Bok Suna’s ‘Carnate’ arrived last Thursday and holy moly is it amazing. Incredible album, incredible vinyl. Jam/buy below!

Emma Goldman just released their brand new music video for “I seem to be an adjective” from the ‘all you are is we’ full length. In addition to this wicked video we’ve also got tapes of the album, and as the vinyl is sold out I would give picking one up a hard recommend. Click on the pic above or this text to go there! Pick up a copy/jam it below.

US Dave uploaded the extended I Promised The World (formerly Sinema) videos from ZBR Fest 2025, and that set was just otherworldly, absolutely incredible performance. We’ve also thrown up the Votive video as well which features ex-members of Foxmoulder, Gas Up Yr Hearse!, Portrayal Of Guilt, etc. Individual band videos from ZBR Fest will continue popping up, some of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. You can access more via our Youtube channel.

Chin Music played Avery Friedman, and great timing cuz those lovely 12”s arrived early last week and have are shipping now! The Stupid Fancy in particular is stunning…just like the debut album! Listen to the show above or by clicking on this text and take a gander at the album below.

Equalizing Distort played the Coup D’etat song from the Not Just A Phase Vol.3 compilation. As of right now that comp series is complete, so if you’re interested in the comp of unreleased jams you should pick one up immediately below! Also, some wicked news about Coup is coming September 11th! Click on this text or the pic above for the show, jam/buy below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: YARBO = This Canadian band and their 2024 full length was passed to me a few weeks ago and I’m fucking hooked. It’s like Harris Hawk, Edhochuli, and The Armed in a fucking blender omg so good!

2025 - 09 - 01 /// Usurp Synapse pre-orders are live + Bok Suna released!

September 01, 2025 by David Norman

It is time. The pre-orders are up. Available in the U.S. store (linked here), the Canada/International store (linked here), and Bandcamp (linked here). Usurp Synapse’s ‘Disinformation Fix’ 2x12” releases in October on 500 units of hand-poured colored vinyl with lazser-cut gatefold covers. Please remember these WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL LATE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER. That includes orders with additional items in the order, the entire order will be held until November. Just a heads up, the unreleased This Endless Breath CD songs will not appear on the release as it enabled us to keep it to two 12”s instead of three. 50 songs. Truly insane packaging. Historic. Classic. Screamo.

It is also time! The sophomore BOK SUNA 12"LP 'Carnate' is officially out and shipping! 13 gorgeous, honest, and dark songs from this Tacoma/Seattle project that has recruited the drummer from Hillsboro to really flesh out this new set of songs. 125 x 12" vinyl over two variants and 20 cassettes were made and are in hand. For fans of: Lomelda, Mieke, (early) Clairo, Mage Tears, and Frankie Cosmos. <3

CanaDave got back in the saddle and recorded a new Out Past the Rings that doubles as a Tomb Tree Family Tree episode. Discussed are the debut A Paramount A Love Supreme EP and our first Cara Neir venture, the ‘Part III / Part IV’ album. Watch it below, buy those releases on…well, I guess ebay is your only bet cuz dem mad sold out.

In more awesome news, the Adobe Homes 12” tests were approved, so that is 100% coming out in 2025 just unsure of the exact date. You can scope a new song in this ZBR Fest 2025 video embedded above. Speaking of sick ZBR Fest videos, the Shoganai one was also uploaded recently, and we still have a few cassette stragglers for their first, self-titled EP. You can access them by clicking on this text. Individual band videos from ZBR Fest will continue popping up, some of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. You can access more via our Youtube channel.

This Noise Is Ours continue their extensive ZBR coverage with the Poetry Of Torch x Gil Cerrone split cd (which we are running low on, by the way). A scorching Japanese/Australian collaboration. Listen/buy below and read the review by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Operation X-Ray played some serious heat (as per usual) and threw out some Usurp Synapse, Emma Goldman, and Bok Suna jams. We just released some tapes for Emma’s ‘all you are is we’ because the 12”s are gone (or maybe there’s still 1-2 copies left in the U.S.), so I’ve linked our bandcamp with all the store links below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HORSEBOY = Hellllll yes. Our Tomb Tree released their debut EP and now the band is back with their debut full length and it’s a sassy, screamy, rockin’ trip. Listen to the new album below. Jam/buy the first EP above.

2025 - 08 - 26 /// Emma Goldman tapes + Usurp Synapse pre-order on Fri!

August 26, 2025 by David Norman

Emma Goldman tapes are live! After burning through our 200 vinyl copies of ‘all you are is we’ it was apparent that the demand remained, so to get something in time for the band’s most recent Eastern Canada tour we cooked up 100 of these babies, with 50 going to the band (and are probably gone/near gone) and the remaining 50 getting split up among the ZBR stores. Snag one now, you know they ain’t gonna last!

Avery Friedman’s ‘New Thing’ 12” vinyl arrived yesterday and holy sheeat do they look sick. There’s clear pavement blue /100 and stupid fancy /30. Gorgeous, dreamy, singer/songwriter indie rock from New York.

Running low? You betcha. There’s single digit copies left of the ZBR swirl and blue, test dips are gone, and there’s about 20 of the butterfly swirl and apricot left. Gonna make more? Nope, that’s not how this comp rolls. Once it’s gone it’s gone. If they sell out soon Rob from Not Just A Phase will down a spicy Paqui on camera. It’s a win/win, baby. This killer 24-track tape (one song is a cassette exclusive) is bursting with previously unreleased tracks from: Captain Jazz, Claire Voyancé, Coup D’état, Demersal, Drought, Gil Cerrone, Floating Woods, Garland Briggs, Geronimostilton, Heavens Blinding Hue, Hynoki, Lagrimas, Leda, Letterbombs, Módulo Lunar, Mourn Recif, myhateisabeautifulexistence, Of Death…, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Retratros De Heroína, and Youth Novel.

Okay, we’re doing it. Friday August 29th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is the Usurp Synapse ‘Disinformation Fix’ pre-order. The 2x12” releases on 500 units of hand-poured colored vinyl with lazer-cut gatefold covers. Please remember these WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL NOVEMBER. That includes orders with additional items in the order, the entire order will be held until November. Just a heads up, the unreleased This Endless Breath CD songs will not appear on the release as it enabled us to keep it to two 12”s instead of three.

Individual band videos from ZBR Fest have started popping up, many of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. For now here’s Black Nail and Poetry Of Torch, but you can access more via our Youtube channel.

The new Operation X-Ray snuck in Demersal and Geronimostilton jams from the recently released Not Just A Phase Vol.3. Check it out below!

Bok Suna’s ‘Carnate’ is in. Black copies obtained. Stupid Fancy arriving any day. Full release is Friday August 29th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Jam the “honest person” single below. Watch the music video for “doghorn” above.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MALEVICH = Our good friends in Georgia’s finest sludgy, blackened, noisy hardcore/screamo/metal band released their newest record recently, scope it!!!
