Mercy Necromancy's 'Cruel' released on vinyl!

February 16, 2026 by David Norman

Mercy Necromancy’s ‘Fallen’ and ‘Cruel’ EPs are now housed on one vinyl 12”! Softseed Music made 111 of these so please go check it out and snag one if you like Dollanganger, Grimes, Del Rey, Cain, etc. Minimal instrumentals under the voice of an angel.

Well shit ZBR Fest is getting pretty goddamned close. So let’s go through the bands playing, shall we? We’ll call this the ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. Yeah, that only took like 10 minutes to think up, lol.

For years Massa Nera was the ZBR Fest mainstay, but after they had to pull out of 2024’s fest it’s been The Caution Children who have taken up the mantle. Bringing everyone together in the best possible way, these Florida all-stars were phenomenal in both 2024 (linked here) and 2025 (embedded above), so it was a no-brainer giving these dudes the ZBR Fest title and inviting them back for a third year in a row.

We are super excited to announce the release of Carrion Spring’s new album ‘Those We Have Lost And Continue To Lose’ which will drop on March 6th, 2026! The 12” vinyl /250 are on the way to us and should be in hand a week before the release so we’ll have some nice pics for ya as soon as possible. Jam a new jam below. More info soon!!!

ZBR is releasing the next Dagerman 12”LP ‘Di fronte a noi il nulla’ on March 20th. The first single “Caino” is available to stream/download above. Wicked Italian screamo, baby! We have some 12”s from their debut LP below if you wanna scope. For fans of La Quiete, Raein, Ojne, etc.

Soastaphrenas’ second single is upon us. This band is ex-Spoiled and kicks serious ass whilst also charting new territory. Exciting stuff! Full release is likely early April and Tomb Tree will have 30 copies.

Maximum Rock’n’Roll had Sutras make their list (Zuzanna’s list) which is sick, but I honestly don’t know ANY of the other bands lol. I’m in the screamo dungeon, baby. Tapes still available below. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list.

In a band touring near Italy July 17th and 18th in Northern Italy? Hit me up for a possible fest invitation!!!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to another really early Zibbur release (number 39 to be exact) which is the Secret Smoker x Alarms And Controls split 7”. This won’t be repressed as I don’t think either band is even active anymore. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WITH ONE EXCEPTION x CHIGAKI DEATH METRO = This split is great, the first half is dirty/chunky and the second half is sick emo-violence.

2026 - 2 - 13 /// ZBR Fest 2026 tickets are live + Carrion Spring 12"!

February 13, 2026 by David Norman

ZBR Fest lineup announced and tickets are live! The cap on this year’s fest in Vancouver is less than 200 so we’re looking at a pretty intimate time. Tickets are going fast, get’em at zbrfest.com

Our next big ZBR-only release is the next Carrion Spring full length 12” titled ‘those we’ve lost and continue to lose’ and it releases in full on March 6th, 2026 via 250 records. We won’t spoil the variant but it looks pretty fucking sick. You can scope the music video for “Pocket Full of Poseurs” from the album below!

Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket’s debut 12”LP is finally back in press thanks to Moment Of Collapse and yours truly (but mostly Moment Of Collapse) as we only have 30 copies spread across our three stores. Phenomenal post-everything screamo from Sweden featuring a member of The Khayembii Communique.

CanaDave had a podcast with Mercy Necromancy right before a special surprise which happens on Monday. If you like ethereal, dreamy, dark-yet-beautiful singer/songwriter stuff you will fall in love with this artist (like I did!) and therefore you should buy a 12” copy of ‘Fallen’ before they’re all gone. All links in the full podcast post can be accessed by this text.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to ZBR006, one of the very first releases we did. I think we did like 600+ 7”s and immediately afterward Germany’s Amber broke up and these vinyl just sat around. Now it’s more than a decade after it’s release and I’m down to the final copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LONELYISANEYESORE = Wicked new EP from this band on Vamonos Records!

2025 - 11 - 28 /// CanaDave's SkramzCave tomorrow, Sine Nomine now!

November 28, 2025 by David Norman

After nearly 22 hours of work CanaDave’s SkramzCave finally goes live tomorrow at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. This is 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. A few more key items are pictured in the gallery below, but the two product tabs will house about 300 products!!! Oh, and remember to check back on Monday for the Mercy Necromancy reveal!

Sine Nomine’s first release in a decade is out and ‘The Sunder Veil’ is a fucking trip. Whether it be the unsettling noise, massive riffs, unhinged vocals, or almost Helmet-esque dabbling in grunge/noise rock, something here is sure to pique your interest. For fans of Eyes, Deftones, (early) Blcklstrs, etc.

Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ made Exclaim’s Best Albums of 2025, beating out some serious heavy hitters. Check out their list by clicking on the pic above or this text. Go jam the album below and snag a tape before they’re gone too.

Crossed’s ‘Realismo ausente’ 12”LP ranked in the top 30 Metal Albums of 2025! Hell fucking yeah, this band and this album in particular are fucking incredible. Click on the pic above or this text for the full list, jam/buy this beast below before we sell out of it like we did their first two LPs.

Coup D’etat got a wicked write-up via Broc Nelson from Everything Is Noise. This band owns Vancouver Island, check it out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below!

Hetta’s new album ‘Acetate’ has been all over my feeds the past week, and with just reason! Their debut LP is bursting with righteous jams that land somewhere between The Blood Brothers and The Locust. Check out the Glam Magazine review by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below - the pics for the tapes will go up on Monday as I just have to stamp those suckers then snap their beauty shots.

This Noise Is Ours gave the new Hoari EP two thumbs in their most recent review. We released this stellar 2024 EP in 2025 cuz it needed more love - and now here we are! Review linked to the pic above and this text, jam/buy the last few copies below!

Another tape that was just in limbo as it wasn’t in stock anywhere but I gotz one left! I just put the first Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow cassette EP 2nd run mystery swirl /10 up in the store but the product is embedded below for your convenience on our Bandcamp, making it Today’s Last Fucking Copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MONDRARY = Phenomenal album. Just wicked stuff.

2025 - 07 - 24 /// Piri Reis out, Distro update + restocks, Shoganai is next!

July 24, 2025 by David Norman

The distro and restock update that was scheduled for this morning got pushed back to tomorrow (Friday July 25th) as we just couldn’t get it all ready in time. So here’s a list of what’s coming so you can prep. In this Canada/International store everything will be located in the “New Items/Specials” section (linked here) while the U.S. store will have it all in the “All” tab (linked here). Some products will only be in one store (as in some cases we only have one copy) so be sure to skip between the two stores if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

12”s: Afraid, Malisa Bahat, Øjne (Prima Che Tutto Bruci + Undici/Dodici), Pianos Become The Teeth, Coven, As Living Arrows, Ostraca (Eventualities + Disaster), NØ Man, Cages, Neboas, Yarostan, Put Purana + Tromblon, Potence, Linguaserpente, Life (demo two), Telos, Sacrofuoco, Noverte, Altair, A Flower Kollapsed, and Uragano

7”s: Crowning + Swallows Nest and Demersal + Regarding Ambiguity

Cassettes: Luca, Threeway x Salvinorin A, Beneath Moonlight, and Gelwaz

CD: Ekbom

Shoganai will be our next release on Tuesday July 29th via 53 cassettes, pictured below. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Fans of Nuvolascura, New Forms, Mahria, and Blind Girls will be all the fuck over this.

Piri Reis tapes for ‘Ritma’ came out and is already almost out, as we only took 30% of the run of 100 tapes. The 12”s never lasted so don’t expect these to be around for long, especially after they destroy New Friends Fest.

Click here for the full roundup list of review!

Nuvolascura continues to move, so we’re down to our last copies of the “swirl” variant as everything else is already gone, maybe 20 copies total left. ‘How This All Ends’ was reviewed by Brooklyn Vegan so click on this text or the pic above to go to the review.

Crossed continues to get a lot of love for their third record ‘Realismo ausente’ which is most definitely still in my top 3 records of 2025. Treble Zine did a great feature which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic above. Listen/buy the record below.

Andrew from a bunch of stellar bands has a Go Fund Me to help recover from a motorcycle accident. At the time of this posting he’s at bout 80% of his goal, help him get there if you can spare anything! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

Operation X-Ray premiered the final Sininen single from the upcoming ‘I was recently upset’ as well as a Piri Reis jam.

Clay Birds got the This Noise Is Ours treatment. In response to the different titles (“of” vs. “from”), the band’s stuff is “from”, but the cassette j-card for ZBR was made by the band with “of” in the title instead. So they’re both kinda right but the proper title would be ‘a separation from vanity’. Click on this text or the pic above to read the full review. Also a friendly reminder that a few final copies will be posted on this bandcamp page Friday July 25th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HOARI = We’ve got tapes already finished for this band’s debut EP, but they just released a new jam and it kicks ass!

2025 - 06 - 06 /// Big Stuff Thing + Nuvolascura & Carrion Spring premieres

June 06, 2025 by David Norman

Big Stuff Thing this Sunday! You read right, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve had one but we’ve accumulated a few extra things for our “safety nets” that are no longer needed. You will find items from Sinema, Febuary, Othiel, Blind Girls, Crowning, etc. plus more test presses than you can shake an Indian Summer-shaped stick at. Sunday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. The items will be available for just 48 hours at the top of the US Store as a single product with a buncha variants (aka releases) and the Canada store will have a “Big Stuff Thing” listing in the dropdown box for Canada/International Store..
