Hey y’all, Concealer is next! ‘This Room Could Be Heaven’ releases as a 12”LP on Tuesday March 31st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on 250 vinyl. The band has 100 and we already sold 75 in less than an hour during the pre-order, so if this album is your kinda thing you best be grabbing it in the first 10 minutes lest ye be empty-handed. Jam the first three singles here which is also where all the store links will show up on release day!

As you probably have noticed, the new Gxllium! album isn’t out yet. There were mixing issues which means delays, so it’s coming but we aren’t sure of the exact date. Regardless, it’ll release almost immediately upon completion via Tomb Tree and Vamonos Records with vinyl following a few later on Zegema Beach Records and Vamonos Records. There’s like 3 tapes left of their previous EP so snag those asap, embedded below!

Today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature is for Mau who are coming up from California to play Canada for the first time. This ex-Hawak band caused quite a stir before their debut EP as they were killing it at shows for about two years before they finally dropped their first official music. Chaotic, beautiful, intelligent…it’s everything you’ve ever wanted and more. Snag their ‘anthesis’ etched 10” below! Click on this text or the pic above to get tickets to the fest and see them live!!!

Adam from Carrion Spring was on the Everything Remade podcast (this looks like it’s part 1 of 2) which you should definitely check out! The band is also coming to ZBR Fest and playing the pre-show in Victoria (linked here) and the main fest (linked here). Snag that incredible new album below!!!

A friendly reminder that Fainting Dreams had their first and only song premiere from the ‘Silence of Birds That Rarely Sing’ cassette EP releasing on Softseed Music on April 6th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. This release has the band mixing their ethereal Ethel Cain-esque stuff with crushing black metal/screamo like Deafheaven and Old Soul. You can access the full premiere by clicking on the pic above or this text. Direct song embed below.

Dagerman 12”s are moving well, especially the sets that include the first 12”LP in addition to their new ‘Di Fronte A Noi Il Nulla’ full length. The band was recently interviewed by Idioteq.com so scope that interview and jam the new album simultaneously to get the full effect. Then snag that double 12” bundle! Interview can be reached by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Just a heads up Vibora and Soastasphrenas’ new albums haven’t arrived yet, so if you ordered one and was wondering why your order hasn’t shipped…that’s why! We’ll post pics once these beasts arrive, until then check out this new Soastasphrenas ‘Eris’ interview with Idioteq.com which you can access by clicking on the pic above or this text.

CanaDave, the ZBR distro, and Wollruss will be at Vancouver at Red Gate this Thursday! This is our last show before the ZBR Fest pre-show (tickets linked to this text). Here’s a video of Often Wrong who are also playing.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the very first ZBR 10” which houses the The World That Summer x Nionde Plagan split! This shall not be repressed as The World That Summer died almost a decade ago. Good times though! CanaDave did vocals for this band and you can watch him lose his mind in the clip above for the song “Heat Death Parties are the Bomb, Man” which is on said split. Snag it below or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OLTH = Oh shit the New York screamo all-stars are back with a brand new album and it fucking slaps!
