Carrion Spring released x Distro update on Wednesday!

March 09, 2026 by David Norman

Carrion Spring released on Friday in all its glory! Years and years of friendship, planning, recording, life, and a whole lot more went into this phenomenal full length ‘Those We’ve Lost and Continue to Lose’ which was recorded by Kurt Ballou at Atomic Garden Studios! Jam/buy it below and make sure you come see them at both the ZBR Fest 2026 pre-show and main fest.

Also this week, there’s a new distro drop on Wednesday that will include some key Dog Knights releases (Journal, Beau Navire, State Faults, etc.) then a Concealer 12” pre-order on Friday…what a week!

Today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature is for Csilla’s Star Is Gone which features members of Coup D’etat, A Recorded Dawn, Mourn Recif, Wollruss, Bathtub Autopsy, and Hospice (to name a few lol) so there’s probably no better way to open ZBR Fest 2026 at the pre-show on May 1st, 2026 at Big Fernwood in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I saw them play their first show this past weekend and it was badass. They are the fist band in the video below, but you can also scope A Recorded Dawn and Hillsboro who are also playing the fest! Click on the pic above to buy tickets and this text to go to the live show review with videos from all the bands!

Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave did an interview with Cinepunx that you should definitely scope. We’re down to literally a handful of split 7” copies with Heaven Through Violence so please snag that before you regret it, as their new EP was just released so there’s no way these last through the year. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the interview, jam/buy below.

US Dave’s all-star band Biological Fathers got a writeup from the always reliable This Noise Is Ours. CDs have mostly all shipped out but the Canada/International orders leave later today/tomorrow as the box arrives at the Canada store this afternoon. Click on the pic above or this text for the review, jam/buy below!

Dagerman’s new album releases March 20th and they just dropped another single from the album! I’ve been jamming this daily and it’s an awesome album with more beef than the previous album (which is also amazing, let’s be real). You can jam Oltre below! 12”s should be in hand for the release!!!

Limbs and Vibora made Everything Is Noise’s February round-up for good reason. Find out why below! For the full list click on the pic above or this text.

Vibora’s ‘Egin ez dugun guztia’ got a big ole 9/10 on Science Of Noise in Rock Magazine! This album is getting nothing but mad praise and I absolutely love it. Click on the pic above or this text to read the review. Jam/buy the 12” below.

Oh my god the day is finally here! Another decade-plus release is down to it’s last copy!!! This Montreal band ended up creating Yearning and Carcajou, two bands that ZBR are big fans of, but this release is more like Envy, Sed Non Satiata, and Amanda Woodward. There’s a sick video of them playing the Congratulations EP release show back in 2014 embedded above (make sure you get to that sweet sauce at 2:20+). And that, my friends, is today’s Last Fucking Copy. This shall not be repressed. Snag it below or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: YURODIVY = Ooooo baby they’re back after 5 long years! Two new songs at name your price.

2026 - 2 - 20 /// Vibora released in full!

February 20, 2026 by David Norman

Vibora’s new 12”LP ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’ is out in full! Be sure to check it out, as it mixes the heaviness of Crossed with the melodic control of Boneflower. The vinyl is done but hasn’t shipped to us yet, so I think we’ll have’em and get them all out the door by the end of March. The stripe variant has turned into a tri-color due to heat…stuff. I dunno, that’s what the plant told us. Regardless, it’s sick!

With ZBR Fest 2026 about two-and-a-half months away, let’s take a second dip into the second ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. I don’t feel like Victoria BC’s A Recorded Dawn gets enough love, but maybe that’s because I get to see them every months. Their most recent split with Mourn Recif and their Zampler #25 contribution show the band’s evolution into dark, atmospheric screamo not unlike Ostraca, Infant Island, and Ambretta. Very stoked to have them playing the main fest with a buncha sick new material that’ll definitely turn a lot of heads, so come early! Click on this text to go to ZBRUSA.com

Hillsboro finally has a new song out (and music video) from their forthcoming lengthy EP this spring. Check out the video above and there’s a link to previous EP below. Wicked post-hardcore/shoegaze/alternative from Victoria!

Everything Remade had ma boyee Jesse Mowery from Biological Fathers (and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, and Apostles Of Eris, and Majorel, and In Wolves’ Clothing, and…you get the idea) on and you should def give it a listen, as well as peep/buy the debut EP from the all-star band featuring members of Crowning, Frail Body, Eyelet, and New Grass!

Limbs got an extensive review from the always reliable This Noise Is Ours. We still got some tapes left of this final release by this Filipino band. Epic, experimental, fire that fans of Majority Rule, (early) WristMeetRazor, and Beast Jesus. Click on the pic above or this text for the review. Jam/buy below.

Magana was on Chapman Radio and did a four-song live video! Jeni is exceptionally talented and CanaDave has been releasing her stuff on Softseed so check out the video above and the newest release below!

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

Subject: Northern Italy Thingy

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the third Meditations In Affinity four-way split 7” ‘Solicitude’ featuring our very own Emma Goldman (with an exclusive track, no less) 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 below. Watch the band play “Code Produced Comfort” above at ZBR Fest 2019!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NO TRUCKS OVER SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDREDS POUNDS x IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND = Sick new split on BSDJ, scope it!!!

2026 - 1 - 14 /// Sear out, Sungaze pre-order, Shove distro on Friday!

January 14, 2026 by David Norman

Sear’s ‘O Merciful’ is out on 12” from Tomb Tree (and cassette via Limited Hangout Records) with art from @josephpereztattoo. The dark, oppressive, dense screamo/black metal features members of To Forget and is the soundtrack to today’s political landscape. Mages sold out quickly, only black 12”s remain and we only made 100 of those so we don’t expect them to hang around for long!!!

Gravess got their final premiere from their new EP ‘losing everything that makes life beautiful’ that releases January 21st on Zegema Beach and Severed Records via 12”. The records are in hand and we’ll release promos shortly. Scope the new jam by clicking on this text or the pic above, scope the first premiere from the Zampler below.

There’s going to be a big ole Shove distro update on Friday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST, here’s what’s going up. In case you don’t know some of these covers, there’s Raein, Tenue, La Quiete, ByMySide, Only, Coma Regalia, Norse, Abandoncy, Adorno, Alkupera, Letterbombs x Lori, Crossed x Vibora, Since By Man, oh and we’ve got the Adobe Homes 12” Euro/band variants too!!! These will all go up in the “New Items/Specials” heading of the Canada/International store and straight onto the homepage of the US store.

Sungaze’s fourth full length “I’m No Longer Afraid of Heights” is now up for 12” pre-order with 5 of the 10 songs available to listen/download. The full release for this baby is May 22nd, 2026 and there’s a run of tapes from Candlepin Records as well as cds from the band. Fans of Smush and She’s Green should be all over this.

Mourn Recif is playing a show on January 24th at that sick skate shop again (a new song from their last show there linked here) with a seriously sick lineup. We’re working on a full length album so we won’t be playing many shows over the next few months so please come out to this one and say hi if you can. Also, the Mourn Recif x A Recorded Dawn split got some love from This Noise Is Ours so you should scope that out by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Shesmadefromsuede is down to just a handful of copies left and also got an additional push from the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blog which you can access by clicking on the pic above or this text. The band existed solely for this EP then called it a day. Wicked metallic hardcore/screamo in the vein of Mondrary, Blind Girls, Roman Candle, etc.

Operation X-Ray did a wicked roundup of screamo releases from the year. I found a bunch of bands that I hadn’t heard and were awesome, but my top 3 discoveries were: absent from the morning headcount, open carry state, and Chigaki Death Metro. Check that shit below.

Inosuke made Horns Up’s round-up with honorable mentions for Hetta and Coup D’etat. All of our Inosuke orders have gone out so thanks for your patience with those, but now we only have a few left!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the article.

It’s official, Concealer 12”LPs for their new first full length are at the pressing plant! The band released their first single on Zampler 26 (embedded below) and made Boolin Tunes “Top 25 Bands To Watch In 2026” and we couldn’t agree more. This album is fucking incredible. Kinda Hopesfall. Kinda I Promised The World. Kinda Deftones. Click on the pic above or this text to read up on all 25 bands.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to Yotsuya Kaidan’s debut EP ‘Tired of Tomorrow’s You’, which was a really early ZBR release that floored me when I heard. Very Euro-Orchid esque and screamo as fuck. No repress from us coming, so definitely last fucking copy. Snag now (from the Bandcamp link below) or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ABSENT FROM THE MORNING HEADCOUNT = This debut is insane. Check it!

2025 - 12 - 18 /// Sans Visage released + Vibora single

December 18, 2025 by David Norman

Yesterday the Sans Visage tapes for ‘drown/resistance’ were released alongside the Bandcamp digitals. This is important for two reasons, the first is that the EP is a fucking banger and it’s their first lone release since 2020’s incredible ‘moments, and the second is this will be our last release for cassettes that will have more swirl painted tapes than non-swirls. All future releases (until I run out of paint) will have a rare swirl version and the other variants will not be painted. Hopefully this helps move some of these older Tomb Tree swirl tapes in the process. The end of an era, my god, I’ve dipped probably over 5,000 tapes in the last 8 years.

The brand new single from Spain’s Vibora is out! “Fotos” is a fucking banger (zero surprise) that will follow on our Bandcamp tomorrow alongside the 12” pre-order for ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’. Snag their previous LP ‘Zaldi Beltza’ by clicking on this text!

Twins did a track-by-track explanation and interview with the almighty Idioteq.com regarding their latest ‘it’s_complicated’ 12”LP. Access that by clicking on the pic above or this text, and remember we’re down to our last 2 copies (linked below)!

Serrate got the This Noise Is Ours treatment via a very excellent review. Check it out and please pick up a record, it’s definitely one of our faves from 2025! Click on the pic above or this text to go the the review and jam/buy below.

Sine Nomine’s Derek Yeager was a guest on Vinyl Bang! Listen/watch him reveal some personal vinyl favourites amidst warranted praise from the two hosts. The band released ‘The Sunder Veil’ last month on tapes via Tomb Tree and their own label Ephemera Flux did 100 vinyl of it. Watch above, jam/buy below.

Well shit, here’s another example of Dave Droppin’ The Ball on today’s Last Fucking Copy, as this test dip of Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket cassette for ‘Det onda. Det goda. Det vackra. Det fula.’ was just not stocked anywhere. Oopsie daisy! Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: AMBRETTA = I came for the cover art. I stayed for the awesomeness. FFO: Mondrary, Amygdala, and I Have No Mouth.

2025 - 12 - 11 /// Sans Visage is next!

December 09, 2025 by David Norman

Sans Visage tapes arrive tomorrow and will be ready for their December 15th release. ‘drowned/resistance’ houses five jams, many of which are re-recorded versions of earlier songs. I’ll have some pictures ready before they drop. This EP is sooooo good! Their previous LP is also insanely good, and I’ve got 3 copies left below/pictured above!

I decided to keep this open for another week, with it closing Friday at 11:59pm PST and then items I still don’t want I’ll put up in the stores but all sales prices will revert back to normal prices. So that affects a ton of the cds in there, so scope now if you want a deal. A few choice items embedded below!

Demersal has arrived in Canada! They’ll arrive in the US late December, so sorry about the delay but it was completely out of our hands.

Just a friendly reminder that Softseed Music is releasing the first Mercy Necromancy EP ‘Fallen’ on 12” with a special surprise. Mmmhmm. If you need a Dollanganger fix in-between albums, there is nothing better to ease the pain. In fact, it’s so good you’ll end up falling in love with this too.

Inosuke’s ‘Allomancer’ got a nice review from This Noise Is Ours that you should scope. Our 10”s for this are dwindling as we only got 25 of each variant. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review, jam/buy below!

Piri Reis gets our Last Fucking Copy today, as these tapes were made for New Friends Fest 2025 and the /100 is already pretty much donezo. The band sold out on tour and the 12”s have sold out of numerous pressings aka get this now! Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SMUSH = Oh my god there’s new Smush and it’s amazing. Is it a cover? You betcha, the new EP is all covers and I’ve heard it…so fucking good. I believe the entire thing comes out in January.
