‘Drone and Cull: an Apostles Of Eris & Gossip split 12”’ releases in full on Tuesday April 26th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST in both stores on 111 blue/green marble vinyl. It looks like this.

Tomb Tree is teaming up with Witch Elm in the U.K. to corelease a most wonderful new 4-way split cassette between Demersal, Piet Onthel, Letterbombs, and Vientre. A team of four blogs have joined hands in the PremieRing #2, where each one hosts a song premiere by one of the bands and links to the next blog/band in the chain. Start with Piet Onthel at Miss The Stars, linked here!

CanaDave did Out Past the Rings #109 for Locktender’s ‘Friedrich’ 12”LP, fresh with U.S. store restocks and box portals!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SØMERSET = Another 12” I researched and nabbed a few copies of from Dingleberry Records. Very sick German grind/screamo/hardcore for fans of Punch, Fluoride, Mouthing, etc.

2022 - 04 - 23 /// Massive distro update tomorrow!

April 23, 2022 by David Norman

On Sunday April 24th we’ll have a freakin’ massive distro update at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST with a ton of stuff from Moment Of Collapse Records, Dingleberry Records and some random stuff. Seriously, there’s a ton of amazing shit here that you don’t need to worry about insane Euro shipping. This pic is just a taste.

Not only was the Pig Donovan music video premiered yesterday on Brooklyn Vegan (linked here) but Apostles Of Eris’ split partner on the 12” Gossip just had a song premiere on the Canadian radio! Nuts, I tell you. Get detonated here:

A friendly reminder that the very sick Reverie album was released digitally yesterday. We’ll have news for you when we get the 12”s.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THE FIFTH ALLIANCE = I picked up some of these for the distro update and fell in love. Massive, posty, epic, rock/hardcore/metal from the Netherlands.

2022 - 04 - 22 /// AOE video, Reverie out, Daighila comin' our way

April 22, 2022 by David Norman

The new Apostles Of Eris official music video was just released on Brooklyn Vegan for “Pig Donavon”, the second of five tracks on their side of the ‘Drone and Cull’ 12” split with Portland’s Gossip. For some reason I can’t embed the article link so just click on this text to go to the official Brooklyn Vegan premiere. 12” releases on Tuesday April 26th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST

Reverie’s ‘Everything repeats itself forever’ is officially out! The 12”s were delayed at the plant so we expect them late spring/summer 2022. This album is awesome and we’ve been jamming it for the past year repeatedly.

Greed Worm was released yesterday on late 12”s via Tomb Tree and we’re runnin’ pretty low. This store only has a black and a swirl left, for example.

GREED WORM - Hell Is Real (cassette/12" lathe)

from CA$12.00

GREED WORM ‘Hell Is Real’ cassette/12” lathe EP (TT065)

For fans of: Cursed, Advent, and Prisoner.

Dirty. Punishing. Relentless. Chicago’s GREED WORM have unleashed an EP so mammoth we put it on a one-sided 12” lathe. Featuring members of Crowning, Itto, Ikaray, Snuffed, Shrivel Up, and Cloud Cruiser, these six songs absolutely destroy, and leave room for breathing only when a lulling or hilarious audio clip is thrown in your face. Released on Tomb Tree. Ships early May.

Cassettes /80, some on clear swirl w/matching swirl case, some on black swirl, some on death black, and a few test dips.
12” lathe/60, 30 clear, 16 black, 10 marble swirl, and 4 test dips (one of which is painted), all w/insert. 6 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DAIGHILA = We’ll be the North American hub for the new Daighila 12”LP. We’ll be getting about 15 copies of this monster Malaysian screamo release. One of the longest running and best bands in the game! We should have them in late July/August but you can jam three tunes now!

2022 - 04 - 17 /// Burial Dance, Lang, and Boneflower

April 17, 2022 by David Norman

We have a taste of our massive distro updates coming next week, with these two exclusive North American distro releases from Dog Knights (the Boneflower and Lang split 12”) and Moment Of Collapse (Burial Dance screened 12”). Available in both stores!!!

BONEFLOWER / LANG - Dolor / 遠来 - Split (12")

CA$20.00

For fans of: Via Fondo and Komuso.

Incredible double EP/split from Spain and Japan. Released on Dog Knights Productions.

12” on maroon vinyl with additional inner screening with spine insert. 3 songs by each band.

Listen here:
https://dogknightsproductions.bandcamp.com/album/dk155-boneflower-lang-dolor-lp

BURIAL DANCE - Structures (12")

CA$20.00

For fans of: What Of Us, Youth Funeral, and Crowning.

We were lucky enough to be the only North American label to carry these extremely intense and gorgeous 12”s of BURIAL DANCE’s debut release ‘Structures’. 5 pulverizing/gorgeous screamo jams from ex-members of Capacities, What Of Us, The Saddest Landscape, etc.

12” on black vinyl with lyric inner jacket and screened b-side. 5 songs.

Listen here:
https://momentofcollapserecords.bandcamp.com/album/structures

CanaDave pumped out another very questionable Out Past the Rings, this one for #108 aka the ['SELVƏ] - Doma cassette. Incredible, epic, atmospheric, black metal from Italy. We’re long sold out but at the very least go nab those digitals!

It was recently Friday so Operation X-Ray played a ton of amazing jams on their radio show with Andre, and included was our very own Canyons, Crossed, Anna Sage, and Anchoress. So much great music in here though!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOUL GLO = This new album ‘Diaspora Problems’ is fucking incredible. The first track alone should sell the fuck outta you.

2022 - 04 - 15 /// Anna Sage and Anchoress release show

April 15, 2022 by David Norman

The self titled cassette/12” by France’s Anna Sage is officially out digitally with tapes shipping immediately and 12”s following late spring/summer 2022. Super awesome metallic hardcore/screamo for fans of: Converge, The Bled, Yurodivy, etc.

ANNA SAGE - Anna Sage (cassette/12")

from CA$10.00

ANNA SAGE ‘Anna Sage‘ cassette/12"LP (ZBR279)

For fans of: WristMeetRazor, Crossed, and Converge

France’s ANNA SAGE have released a few EPs in the past, the first in 2014 and previous in 2018, so naturally after four more years they have another release but hooooooly moly is it massive (and an LP instead of an EP). 11 absolutely devastating tracks of metallic hardcore/screamo in the vein of Converge and old WristMeetRazor. When we first heard this release we were floored, and not only helped with the 12” but also asked if we could head up the tapes, of which there are 50 and we have 40 of those (the other 10 are with the band). 12”s should arrive in April (along with the full digital release) but we already have the tapes and we’ll ship those out late March :)

12”LP /300 on black vinyl with gatefold jacket.
Cassette /55, 33 on red swirl, 10 on clear/gold swirl, 5 mystery swirls, 2 red/gold swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case.
11 songs.

Listen to one of the jams here:
https://zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/track/the-deadly-mess-of-a-dying-head-2

Format:

Tomb Tree just released the new Anchoress album ‘Stay Positive’ on cassette and CanaDave will be attending tonight’s show (April 15th, 2022, event linked here)

ANCHORESS - Stay Positive (cassette)

from CA$9.00

ANCHORESS ‘Stay Positive’ cassette EP (TTT063)

For fans of: Million Dead, Marathon, and Face Tomorrow.

Vancouver’s premiere post-hardcore band is back after a long silence and their new album smashes all preconceived notions that you may have held. Mixing alternative, post-hardcore, rock’n’roll, and punk to make a most excellent conglomeration, the five-piece may or may not take influence from Million Dead and At The Drive In with socio-political charged lyrics and a brilliant knack for blending melody and aggression. Release show tonight April 15th, 2022 and we’ll be there!

Tapes /56, 25 Outlaw blue, 15 Magical Journey swirl, 10 Old Wolf release show swirl, 5 test dips, and one transparent pink /1, all w/fold-out jcard and lyrics. 9 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HOME IS WHERE + RECORD SETTER = This Dissection Lesson split just came out and it’s blowing my mind.
