The new Fainting Dreams EP ‘The Silence of Birds That Rarely Sing’ is out! We already moved a lot of tapes so snag one if it tickles your fancy. The incredible mixture of gorgeous bits and crushing, posty black metal is untouchable but will definitely appease fans of Oathbreaker, Chelsea Wolfe, Shedfromthebody, and Deafheaven.

Vibora has arrived and started shipping, Canada/International orders should start moving mid-April (cuz we gotta send them from the US store to Canada still). US restock of 3 copies per variant, 1st record still in stock.

Carrion Spring are today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature! Featuring my good friend Adam and a host of other fantastic people, this Portland, Oregon band has been kicking it for almost two decades and recently released a phenomenal album that was recorded by Kurt Ballou of Converge! There’s a clip of them at the ZBR Fest 2024 above, their new album embedded below, and you can click on this text to get tickets to the fest !!!

Operation X-Ray Dental Office Parking premiere of “Ninja Troll” as well as Concealer, Soastasphrenas, Clout Funeral and Fainting Dreams! Dental Office Parking 3” cds release on April 14th on Tomb Tree, you can scope a music video above!

Dead Internet sent me this live cover of Loftus’ “Next Step, New Boundary” and it slaps. Check it out and then buy the album.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes all the way back to the second ZBR release and first one that was in hand. We sold out years abo but I had kept a copy of each variant of every release for a long time, before recently deciding to just keep a single copy. So this used to by mine but now it can be yours! Shall not be repressed. No more are available. It looks amazing. Snag it below or forever hold your peace.

Dagerman and Carrion Spring came in on The Noise of March via Everything Is Noise. That new Dagerman moved very quickly along with their first 12”LP, so I recommend snagging those asap! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list, jam/buy Dagerman below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CASSUS = This album has been in the making for almost a freakin’ decade. And yes, it was worth the wait.
