Nuvolascura triple packs, Fainting Dreams released, Inosuke on Monday!

November 01, 2025 by David Norman

First and most importantly, shipping updates. Okay so the US store has sent out every Usurp order to my knowledge, while the Canada store has only done cds as the box containing our Usurp 2x12”s arrives in a week or so. The Canada store has sent off all of the other older release shipments like Shesmadefromsuede, Coup D’etat cds, etc., while the US store’s box with those arrives next week at which point they’ll be shipped out. All of the Nuvolscura orders should be shipped by mid-November. Bandcamp orders in the US are the last orders to go out and we haven’t forgotten about you, thank you for your patience.

The new Fainting Dreams album ‘You Can Be Anything’ premiered on Idioteq.com on the 30th of October, with the full release coming yesterday. There are 40 tapes over three variants, a swirl, a blue, and some test dips. The six songs are gorgeous, expansive, layered, all-encompassing pieces not unlike Ethel Cain and Lingua Ignota. You can check out the premiere by clicking on this text, and you can buy/jam the album below.

The Nuvolascura LP digipak cd collection pack (and individual sale cds) are available in all stores! We flew through the first presses of all of these cds so snag these now, as the band has half of the copies that will end up being brought on their Asia tour that goes down in November (and you know they’re gonna sell out). Click on this text to go to the Bandcamp page where these 3 releases are at the top, each with store links and Triple Packs for sale.

Inosuke’s new album ‘Allomancer’ releases on Monday! We’ll have our copies up a little earlier than usual, this time we’ll do 7am PST / 9am CST / 10am EST. There are six tracks on this behemoth that exists somewhere between the overlap of screamo, post-hardcore, sludge, and heavy metal. Features Jason from Locktender/Men As Trees and Erik from Stormlight/Lord Snow! Last reminder for the time being about their phenomenal debut that we released in late 2023 titled ‘rage/ruin’ that you can listen to/snag a 12” for below.

Okay, I’m pretty sure this is the final ZBR Fest video, and it’s for Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave who were excellent and to boot, super fucking enthusiastic about the entire thing. Love’em. We got just a handful of 7” copies left, with the Canada/International store already sold out! ZBRUSA.com and the Bandcamp embedded split below with Heaven Through Violence are the only places left to grab.

Sold out

DOLLORES - 2010-2012 (tape)

CA$15.00

DOLLORES ‘2010-2012‘ tape

For fans of: I Hate Sex, Saetia and Eyes of Verotika

After purchasing the last tape from Bus Stop Press and completely falling in love with Ukraine’s DOLLORES (this exact copy is for sale!!!!!!!!!), we had to make more and get it on our bandcamp. Good lord of science almighty these 11 groovy, screamy, golden nuggets have a wonderful swing to them and some of the best vocals we’ve ever heard. If you combine I Hate Sex with Suis La Lune it’d sound something like this - fucking incredible.

11 songs.

Listen here:

Today’s Last Fucking Copy is actually gonna be titled Last Two Fucking Copies, as I have one of each variant left for the incredible Dollores from Ukraine. This compiles their entire discography on one cassette with is for fans of: I Hate Sex, Eyes of Verotika and Saetia. Snag or forever hold your peace! It’s in this store, which is embedded above. You can also jam it below, it’s so good!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: IN LOVING MEMORY = Goddamn, a new ILM song that features Rila from Febuary? Yes fuckin’ please!

2025 - 05 - 13 /// Clay Birds out, Mau next

May 13, 2025 by David Norman

Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ is tearing shit up, as well as already nearly selling out of the 1st of two variants, Anthony Fantano did a review video on The Needle Drop which is fucking huge to have someone that big pick up on an underground screamo record. Watch above, listen/buy below!

Clay Birds released last week and like 95% of copies are sold out. I think there are 5 copies left in the U.S. store but everything else is gonezo. Absolutely amazing release, wicked people, and sick as fuck live.

Máu 10”s for ‘Anthesis’ will release this Thursday! I snapped a few promo pics of this as the b-side is etched and the entire package just looks hella cool. And the music…my god the music! Incredible stuff from these Cali homies. We’ll have 50 copies of the 300, with the rest being with the band. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Nuvolascura’s ‘As We Suffer From Memory and Imagination’ was the most recent topic of Out Past the Rings #193. Not only that, but with a new album on the way in late July the band got an extra bump from Brooklyn Vegan with their lead single “and in the end, you threw it all away”. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Watch the OPTR below.

Joyzine reviewed the Avery Friedman album which you can check out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Release show is this Thursday! Buy the 12”s below.

Sutras got some love from Destroy//Exist which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic above. Listen/buy below!

Coup D’etat, Emma Goldman, Shibuya, and Llewelyn got a shout-out and play from the always reliable Operation X-Ray.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: TELOS = Listen and weep cuz it’s so good but the band is so dead :( We got tapes of the LP left, snag’em now (by clicking on this text) or forever hold your peace.

Gxllium! released ‘Breakup songs’ on Tuesday and all of our tapes sold out in less than an hour. I’ve included pics so you can see them, but they’re out until all copies arrive at their homes, then I have three extra copies that I’ll put when I know it’s safe to. We’ll also be making more, at the very least tapes, and perhaps doing more formats. Spotify isn’t up yet but I’ll post it when I can.

Just a reminder that we made those Nuvolascura cds and there’s only a handful left and will be sold out before Halloween. The US store has a single copy of the ST and bandcamp has two, the new LP is sold out. Linked above (in stock) and below (sold out).

AJ from Colacon and Holly Caught A Contact High, and Vamonos Tapes went on the OMSB podcast with CanaDave and had some very intriguing conversations. There are still a few copies of the Colacon 12”/100 remaining, snag’em before they gone!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post, or just listen below.

Everything Is Noise did their September roundup which includes Bloom Dream and Split Silk! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list. Jam them below, but I think Bloom Dream is pretty much out and Split Silk is getting there!

Operation X-Ray’s most recent episode featured a ton of sick stuff including Crowning, Venus Twins, and Nuvolascura! Venus Twins 12”s are still in stock but the merge is almost gone.

This Noise Is Ours gave the very underappreciated Dim Into Dross and their sole release. We have no tapes left. Check it out and click on this text or the pic above, and jam it below!

Stereogum picked up the Crowning/Oaktails split along with some other cool releases and thoughts on Blood Brothers at Best Friends Forever. Click on this text or the pic above to go there, and/or jam the split below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CLAYBORNE = This Montreal band sent us some of these 12”s for distro and I fucking love it. Epic post-everything. Snag one here!

2024 - 10 - 13 /// Nuvolascura cds on Monday!

We’ve made cds of the two Nuvolascura full lengths (100 of each) alongside the band, but we’ve only got 25 of each! These release on Monday in both stores and our bandcamp, then it’s prep time before we absolutely pummel you with amazingness in November with new Senza, new Concealer, and new Gxllium!

Definitely check our bandcamp for final copies shed by CanaDave including Iwroteyourhaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook, Rainmaking, Blind Girls, In Loving Memory, and Komuso/Setsuko. There’s also a bunch of ZBR pencils & single items from Wax Vessel that we got some extra copies of, including the ZBR->WV logo switch shirt!

The 188th Out Past the Rings is for Infant Island’s ‘Sepulcher’ tape/12”. It’s very dense and goated. Somehow we have one copy of a few variants in stock, get’em before they gone…all linked below!!!

Lower Automation got some love from Score AV, check out the review linked to this text and jam/buy below! The blue swirls are now hella low.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ENVY = I put this here in case you somehow missed that that longest running screamo band just released a banger of a new album.
