Dave Cullen Goes To Mexico

November 20, 2023 by David Norman

First and foremost, please have patience with the US store as there will be no shipping until December while Dave from Crowning/ZBR USA is on tour in Mexico. When he gets back it’s time for the Othiel drop and by god it’s a fucking killer debut 12”LP that fans of Crowning will fall head over heels for.

Obroa-skai has been getting mad love and it’s pretty obvious why. Genre-bending hardcore from Edmonton featuring ex-members of Mahria and Rayleigh! Flowers of evil and the upside down recently reviewed ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time’ which you can read by clicking this text or the pic above. Jam that shit below and pick up a 12” if you’re so inclined!

Closet Witch’s album continues to kick ass globally. They’ve gone on hiatus but are still gonna be cranking out music videos until the end of the year! Metalorgie recently reviewed the album at the top of their Closet Witch band profile, linked to this text or you can click on the pic above.

We did the cassettes for the Meth. debut LP ‘Mother of Red Light’ so it’s high time for Out Past the Rings. (listen to it here) This 177th installment comes less than a few months before the release of 2024’s ‘SHAME’ on Prosthetic Records.

Operation X-Ray was back again on Friday, this time playing tunes by Saton, Crowning, and Euclid C Finder!

Saton got some love from White Owl aka Blanca Lechuza which includes an interview with the guitarist/vocalist. “translate to English” is needed for those that don’t speak Spanish. Click on this pic or this text to go there, and jam the new album below (p.s. we’ve got tapes via Tomb Tree).

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OBROA-SKAI = This post-Mahria/Rayleigh project has been gaining steam for years, and something tells me they’ve got something imminent. Nudge. Nudge. Wink. Wink.

2023 - 10 - 06 /// New Forms music video

October 06, 2023 by David Norman

New Forms released their final single and first official music video for the upcoming 12”LP ‘As Dust Collects’ which releases on October 19th via Zegema Beach Records. An absolutely stunning debut that’ll leave our followers with gaping jaws. Click on this text or the picture above to go to the premiere, or just jam it below.

The Coma Regalia cover compilation comes out on Monday, but you get another sneak peek today via a premiere of Split Silk thanks to the Everything Is Noise blog! Click on the picture above or this text to go to the full write-up/embed/links!!!

Saton’s sophomore full length is out and it’s packs a punch. Part hardcore, part black metal, part screamo, and part nightmare/horror flick, these 13 tunes will leave you…on fire? Our Tomb Tree did the tapes for this, only 51 available including a special /1 version on this site, linked here!!!

Onewaymirror got a single premiere from (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blog a few days back, with the full digital and tape (through Jean Scene Creamers) releases this Wednesday October 11th, with vinyl coming from Tomb Tree, Oliver Glenn, and BSDJ Records in a few months. Click on the picture above or this text to go to the premiere, or just jam that shit below.

Social Caterpillar’s ‘Alphabet Crown’ releases tomorrow on tape and 12”LP from the band and Softseed Music. We’ll have a few copies in our ZBR stores cuz that shit is straight up screamo alumni. Watch a jam from the upcoming album below from their 2022 ZBR Fest performance.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA + SNAG = This behemoth split 12” was just released today! Snag (ha) a copy if you can!

2023 - 10 - 01 /// Vibora out, Coma comp next

October 01, 2023 by David Norman

The Coma Regalia covers compilation released the cover art (by Sammy Gurule) and the first isolated single by Piri Reis covering “Listless” (Atameo’s cover was on the June 31st Zampler) to a very positive response. Full album comes out October 9th, 2023 on 100 tapes. Click on the text here or pic above for the premiere or just jam the song below.

Vibora’s ‘Zaldi Beltza’ 12”LP is now out! I think there’s still a few pink blob copies left, and after that it’s red. This release turned a lot of heads, and remember we only took 50 copies for all of North America!

Don’t forget that Saton’s new album comes out October 6th, that’s a freaking awesome album, with Tomb Tree taking care of the cassettes. We will likely trade for some vinyl as well. Here are the two music videos thus far:

The In Loving Memory shows have popped up so here’s the first at the Botanical Gardens. First show in over two decades!!! Tapes for the new album are very, very low, but in some good news we’ll be getting some vinyl of the new EP soon, as well as the additional Illuminate My Heart copies of the LP, so in a few weeks we’ll get all that stuff up again. Until then just the EP on grey/40 is linked here.

This Noise Is Ours did another Zegema Beach Roster Review Series, this time for the first LP by Infant Island which we did cassettes for. Long, long sold out. Such a stellar album, especially those last two jams…good god. Click on the pic above or this text for the review, or jam it below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FLOODING = My man Bobby from The Ghost Is Clear helped put this incredible three-piece shoegaze/screamo/post-hardcore band on my radar. The previous record showed signs of genius, and the new album ‘Silhouette Machine’ taps into everything I was hoping they would. Contender for AOTY!
