Concealer

March 12, 2026 by David Norman

In less than 24 hours we will put up half of our Concealer 12”LP copies as a pre-order, so on Friday March 13th at 12pm PST / 2pm CST / 3pm EST be sure to drop in and pick one up before they sell out. Their will be the third and final single accompanying the pre-order, with 12”s already en route to our US store from the plant. Full release is March 30th!!!

Soastaphrenas ‘Eris’ releases in full tomorrow on Tomb Tree, 12”s expected to be in hand and shipping come April. I’ll post pics of the release after it’s out in the next news post. Be warned this features Alex of Spoiled so expect some crazy shit - and it’s fucking awesome. Jam the last single below!

Both stores got a Distro update featuring a few key recent Dog Knights releases (although some have already sold out) as well as some test presses, and a bunch of ZBR USA updates with stuff that wasn’t previously in the store including a ton of Softseed Music releases. You can link to the stores below:

My good friends in Hillsboro were a no-brainer to ask to play the fest, and upon seeing their new material (embedded above) last weekend I was like…goddamn, shit’s getting heavy. So Today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature is for this ever-evolving band from Victoria. You can also see Nima from Hillsboro kicking ass in Wollruss alongside CanaDave. Click on this text to go to the live show review with videos from all the bands and/or watch the show recap video below!

Tickets available here!

Horns Up gave their premium selection of recent releases and our own Vibora made the list along with blurbs about Gravess and Sear. You can scope the list by clicking on the pic above or this text while Sear is linked below and Vibora is further down this news post.

Daris King from Clout Funeral (guitar/vox) was on the most recent Everything Remade podcast with Edie so you should give it a scope! Lots of interesting info in there and the ‘For Pepper…’ EP rules, which you can listen to and buy a tape of below.

Lucidity has a music video from Poorly Crafted Music Videos that caught the attention of Unsigned Showcoase which then played/reacted to it. You can see the showcase above and just watch the video on its own below. The Lucidity split with Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow can be accessed by clicking on this text.

The second Pure Antifascist Scrub on Toilet OV Hell rounded up a bunch of sick releases including our very own Limbs, Biological Fathers, Clout Funeral, and Vibora! Holy shit too much good stuff. Click on the pic above or this text for the full list, and snag the Biological Fathers cd below!

Vibora 12”s are still en route but we’ll post pics of them once they arrive, until then here’s a wicked review of ‘Egin ez dugun guztia’ by Rock Sound. Will the stream of constant/great reviews for this band ever end? (i hope not) Go to the article by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

I couldn’t help but notice that we have just one copy of the Ditch Organ lathe 7”s left for ‘A Rapid Flicker of Light’, as this was a rare order for us and the material is incredible - you should definitely hop on that shit! And that, my friends, is today’s Last Fucking Copy. This shall not be repressed. Snag it below or forever hold your peace.

DITCH ORGAN - A Rapid Flicker Of Light (cassette/7" lathe)

from CA$10.00

DITCH ORGAN ‘A Rapid Flicker Of Light’ cassette/7” lathe EP (TTT052)

For fans of: Thumbscrew, The Chariot and Fawn Limbs.

The debut EP from Eeli (Fawn Limbs) and Ian (Micro Colossal) aka DITCH ORGAN is like watching the highlights from a horror movie separated by short acid trips. 5 songs in just 7 minutes, the race through chaos and orchestrated destruction is reminiscent of Thumbscrew, Machinist, The Chariot in their venomous, unrestrained and violent interpretation of breakneck metallic hardcore. This release is the catalyst for pushing Tomb Tree Tapes into new territory, as we are dumping the “Tapes” from our name as we don’t want to limit ourselves. Therefore you’ll find this stellar release on both cassette and 7” lathe. The marble swirl tapes are housed (primarily) in paper bags with the center burned out and the lyric insert/cover behind it. Lathes are double sided stereo 7”s, 25 clear and 25 black.

Lathes /50, 25 clear and 25 black. Tapes /55, 28 on Organic Light swirl in white bag, 12 on Mold Death swirl in blue bag, 10 Rose Death swirl in brown bag, and 5 test dips in silver bag, all w/cover+lyric sheet. 5 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ROSEMARY NODS UPON THE GRAVE = This band has a new EP (following their split 7” with Heaven Through Violence of which we have just a handful left) that you should definitely check out!

2026 - 2 - 10 /// Biological Fathers + Clout Funeral released!

February 10, 2026 by David Norman

Biological Fathers aka screamo supergroup just released their fist three-song EP on cd and it’s as stupid-good as you’d expect. Featuring members of Majorel, New Forms, Crowning, Frail Body, and Eyelet, the conglomerate cast of friends absolutely knocked this outta the fucking park. The closer alone is worth the cd purchase…fuckin’ hell.

Clout Funeral’s ‘For Pepper…’ released yesterday on 101 cassettes, but don’t let that big number fool you, we’ve only got 25 for the label and the rest were needed for the North Carolina band’s shows! Wicked throwback screamo mixed with newer elements and other genres. Such a good EP and the song titles are hilarious to boot. Released on Tomb Tree.

ZBR Fest tickets go up this week, probably on Thursday! Maybe Friday! We’ll let you know though. No waves, just the full lineup and two-day passes for Red Gate in Vancouver on May 2nd and 3rd. The pre-show will likely go up in a few weeks, which happens May 1st on Vancouver Island in Victoria at Big Fernwood. While you wait why not check out last year’s fest videos?

Clout Funeral and Limbs were featured on the most recent episode of Operation X-Ray so check that shit out! Thanks Andre <3

Vocalist Brandon of Serrate joined our good friend Edie on the Everything Remade podcast! Check it out (I am doing so right now) and pick up their debut 12”LP before they sell out. Only red copies left!!! Maybe we’ll see them in…oooooooh, I dunno…May perhaps?

Toilet OV Hell featured our very own Sear and Gravess in the first ever Anti-Fascist Scrub! Both releases have sold very well, with Sear 12”s only having about 20 remaining and Gravess having 5 left! Click on the pic above or this text to access the full scrub. Jam/buy either album below!

I’ve stumbled across a final Lacrima 7” for ‘Cartography’ which features members of Funeral Diner, Hundreds AU, This Ship Will Sink, Massa Nera, and Coma Regalia!!! As we won’t be making more of these I strongly recommend you snag this Last Fucking Copy, and once it goes there are now tapes via Middle Man Records. Please pick this up from Bandcamp now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FOREVER = Holy crap this group is ex-Swan Of Tuonela, Majorel, Massa Nera, etc.!
