Sadness show

January 09, 2026 by David Norman

North Carolina!

On Monday January 12th the debut Sear 12” ‘O Merciful’ releases on Tomb Tree. Following up on their stellar debut EP featuring members of To Forget, their mixture of screamo, black metal, and post hardcore is fantastic. Check out the music video from the new album above and the first EP below. The new full length releases at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and is /125.

This Sunday CanaDave will be here. He will have distro. This show is going to rule. Check out his podcast with Damian from Life and Sadness below.

Coup D’etat got a very nice review on Not Just A Phase. Their new EP is fire and they continue to be the highlight of the Vancouver Island screamo scene. Check out the review by clicking on the pic above or this text, and jam/buy the cdEP below.

Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave got a sick music video done for “Every river will meet the sea” from the Heaven Through Violence split 7”. I think pretty much everyone is sold out except our US store which has just a copy or two left. Jam the entire thing below or just go straight to the US site by clicking on this text.

CanaDave plays in Wollruss and although we have no recorded material and haven’t played a show yet with our full lineup, here’s a practice video cuz it’s all I’ve got. Featuring members of I.O., Hillsboro, Mourn Recif, and A Recorded Dawn. We’ve got a show January 30th with the almighty Piss so please come out if you’re on the island or hell, even if you’re in BC!

Chalk up another oopsie daisy this last copy wasn’t in stocked in any of the stores. So today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to Senza’s ‘Even A Worm Will Turn’, the absolute last copy of anything we have. 12”s? Long gone? Tape first press? So out. This second run of around 200 tapes? Last fucking copy. Snag now (from the Bandcamp link below) or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CARMEN SIXTEEN = This new EP is nuts.

2026 - 1 - 06 /// Zampler #26 released, Sear 12"s out next week!

January 06, 2026 by David Norman

Aight friends, we’re Facebook now so you should def be checking this news page for all important updates. I post at least once a week, sometimes up to three times depending on what’s going on. We’re also on Instagram (@zegema_beach) and BluSky (Zegema Beach Records).

With the final CanaDave’s SkramzCave sales ending, the unsold stuff has been imported into their proper homes at regular prices (12” distro, 7” distro, tapes distro, and cds distro) as well as a bunch of the stuff at sale prices going directly into the “Steals” section. Take a gander cuz everything should be alphabetically organized :)

Last little bit of news is the Zampler #26 compilation ‘A Stroll Down Washout Lane’ which we ran through the 30 cds extremely quickly, so I’ll probably do another small run for the summer Zampler too. Listen/download it below, and if you feel like throwing any money at it, that will go directly to the artist Jackson Schott @jaxschott

Holy crap CanaDave’s interview with Lambgoat came out with almost 25,000 views and landed on #5 for their Top 15 Interviews of 2025! Thanks so much to Natty for reaching out and doing this interview with me. Access the Most Visited Items of 2025 by clicking on the pic above or click on this text to go directly to the interview with Dave Norman.

A friendly reminder that the Sear video for “Judy” from the upcoming ‘O Merciful’ 12”LP came out last week, followed by a play on Operation X-Ray. The full release is January 12th and these 8 songs are gonna reel in fans of Portrayal Of Guilt, Crossed, Gillian Carter, etc. with their mixture of dark screamo and black metal. Variant pics incoming, but let’s just say be ready for 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST next Monday!!!

Emma Goldman got some love from Crucial Tracks as Chris from The Itinerant Printer names his top albums of the year. We still got some tapes left below! He had this to say, “This album rips your face off – I could compare it to a million things, but it’s none of those. Ragged, insensitive, full of improbabilities, it’s a storm that carries you along, tosses you about mercilessly, and just when you think you might catch your breath or respite might be coming, it forges ahead unexpectedly and unapologetically.” Click on the pic above or this text for the full list.

Twins 12”s were just sent from Germany! So US orders should ship mid-January with everywhere else late January/early February. You can scope the review by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam it below, but 12”s are sold out from us.

Vibora’s ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’ got a push from Underground.Cat. We’ve got the 12” pre-order up with the track “Fotos” and you can find another track on the Zampler #26 titled “636”. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post. Full release is February 20th but the vinyl will probably ship in March/April.

Oh good lord why is this still in stock? Back in the early ZBR days we released this wicked split for Endamori and Big Machine. The former really stuck with us as one of the best three songs we’ve ever heard. Go jam this then buy it for a measly $8!!! No more will be made. Fans of Joshua Fit For Battle, Ostraca, and Crowning take note, making it today’s Last Fucking Copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MERSŌ = Ooooo baby stellar new shit from Richmond, Virginia.

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!

Twins, Sine Nomine, and Hetta were featured on this banger-busting episode of Operation X-Ray. Jam/buy Hetta below!

Avery Friedman got the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) treatment. Read the review, jam the album, watch the live session videos, snag that 12” baby! Access the review by clicking on the pic above or this text.

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.

2025 - 11 - 21 /// Hetta + Twins released!

November 21, 2025 by David Norman

CanaDave has officially pushed his record collection past its threshold in order to clear space, put the records in hands that can appreciate them more, and raise some funds during this economic downturn to get our next few releases to press. CanaDave’s SkramzCave goes live next weekend, here’s a taste of what you’ll find…

Hetta’s ‘Acetate’ released on Tomb Tree and it’s fucking nuts. Get your head sassed right off below. The tapes are done at the duplication plant but don’t arrive till Monday, so we’ll have pics of the variants mid-next week and all copies should be shipped out to customers by mid-December.

Twins is out! The 12”s are a bit behind but should be shipped in December. We’ve literally got 3 copies left over the 3 stores, act now before they’re gone!

Inosuke’s ‘Allomancer’ did another great interview, this time with Idioteq.com and provide a track-by-track commentary. Click on the pic above or this text to read it, listen/buy 10”s below.

Holy fuck how do I still have one of these!?!?!? Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the debut Majorel EP and arguably their best work. If you want it you can grab it from the ZBR Bandcamp page embedded below. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Operation X-Ray gave our Oshera split with Tamsaran a play, check it out above! Last tape copies are in the store…there’s like 4 left.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: STENTIAL = Kickass new EP!!!
