2023 - 03 - 31 /// The Vault opens tomorrow
*the above images are for the Zaffle
Yo, The Vault opens tomorrow. It’s a page of products that will be for sale that are long sold out (ZBR / Tomb Tree) as well as things from CanaDave’s personal collection that he just doesn’t need anymore. That includes a variant set of Supine’s ‘No Altar For The Company Man’, a Louise Cyphre demo tape, a rare Kodan Armada tape /10, a bunch of long-sold out Larry stuff, etc. The Vault will be posted in a new tab (at the top of this page next to “Zegema Beach Releases”) that will appear on Saturday April 1st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and will close on Sunday at 11:59pm PST, with the tab becoming inactive and the unsold products remaining with me as personal copies.
What is the Zaffle? The Zaffle is a raffle contest where you can buy tickets to win 12” mages, 7” mages, stupid fancy vinyl, 12” handmades, and then 12” and 7” test presses (raffled off in that order). Once you win something, the rest of your ballots will be removed. The tickets are open to purchase now (linked above this text) and close on Sunday at 6pm PST when the draw is held live on instagram. Winners will be contacted by email and only pay shipping UNLESS you are coming to ZBR Fest in which case you will not be charged shipping and can just pick it up there.
CanaDave did a new Out Past the Rings for Coma Regalia’s ‘Vau Faelgoh’ and simultaneously came up with the idea for a Coma set so there’s one of those embedded below. Listen to album here. You can also join their Patreon here.
All four full lengths from COMA REGALIA that were released on ZBR. ‘Vau Faelgoh’ 12”, ‘Marked’ 12”, ‘The Mirror’ 11”, ‘Ours Is The Cause Most Noble’ 2x7”. ONLY 1 IN STOCK!!!
MASSA NERA ‘Derramar | Querer | Borrar‘ tape/cd/12" (ZBR310)
For fans of: Envy, City Of Caterpillar, Kodan Armada, and Kidcrash
Screamo is a strange concept. It was birthed under different names, then bastardized, it learned to walk, and has since been the lead of my life. It’s such a special thing that when people and bands really embrace the concept it lights up another bulb in the basement that is screamo history. New Jersey quartet MASSA NERA have fully embraced this for years, to the point of making a cocoon and transforming themselves into something new. The chrysalis opens December 2nd, 2022 and resembles something akin to City Of Caterpillar meets Kidcrash with the urgency of Crowning. Opener “An Endless Cycle“ is a whopping 7:27 of controlled chaos, gorgeous transitions and epic builds while “Tristeza Consume” and “Eyeless Faces” are unforgiving flames. Standout track “Shapeshift“ shows the band first at their heaviest/fastest followed by a five-minute electronic/dub-step interlude that raises the entire record up an additional pedestal. Realizing the importance and general amazingness of this album, Zegema Beach has teamed up with the band to bring you over 500 12”s across three variants, 200 tapes across seven variants, and 100 cds. Each media has a very different feel with different art, different color patterns, and different inserts/extras. One of the most critical screamo releases ever.
12” /500 = 100 on white, 150 on seafoam, and 250 on splatter, all with obi-strip and 32-page lyric booklet. 12 songs.
cassettes /200 = 50 grey, 50 frosty, 20 green swirl, 20 blue swirl, 20 maroon swirl, 20 black/white swirl, and 20 test dips, all with fold-out lyric pamphlet and two-sided j-card.
cds /100 = each comes with an obi-strip
