2022 - 05 - 05 /// Piet Onthel EP tomorrow!
The new EP by Piet Onthel releases tomorrow digitally and on these sick tapes. Five blistering Malaysian emo-violence jams oooooo baby. We’ve got a few copies left of the LP so I’ve linked it below!
PIET ONTHEL ‘ambo(l)enitaksu(p)odulu‘ tape (ZB258)
For fans of: Orchid, Youth Novel, and The Ultimate Screamo Band
After years of incredible EPs and mindblowing splits, Malaysia’s solo project screamo overlord PIET ONTHEL have officially dropped their first full length release titled ‘ambo(l)enitaksu(p)odulu‘. Blazing emo-violence blended with wonderful progressions and enough melody to set it apart from its influences. Whether you’re looking for the destruction unleashed in “sembilan“ or the beautiful layers contained in “empat“, Mashi (aka PIET ONTHEL) has got you covered on every single one of these 12 screamy jams. This first run is across approximately 100 copies with a tentative breakdown as follows:
- 50 yellow tinted w/hint of green
- 30 primary swirl
- 10 rare swirl
- 5 mystery swirl
- 5 test dips
All cassettes come in a clear case with double-sided j-card and download code. 12 songs.

Hot damn there’s a brand spankin’ new Canyons music video for “Double Dragonfly” off of the ‘Stay Buried’ 12”LP that we helped release.
CANYONS ‘Stay Buried‘ 12"EP (ZBR287)
For fans of: Kowloon Walled City, Creeper, Nerver, and Deadguy
Originally released in August of 2020, this bad-ass 12” is finally seeing the light of day today, March 28th 2022 in all it’s gold-speckled glory. Falling somewhere between labelmates Nerver’s brand of dark noise rock, the gargantuan sound of Kowloon Walled City, and the urgency of The Chariot, there is a lot for a lot of people to like about this stellar full length. Co-released with The Ghost Is Clear Records, Forbidden Place Records, Reptilian Records, and Knife Hits Records.
12”EP /300 on gold speckled vinyl, 50 of which have hand-numbered/screened covers. Includes insert. 10 songs.

We’ve got another update from the Icorrupt restocks, as Locktender’s ‘Rodin’ 12” and the Animal Faces + Solids split 7” have been put up.
For fans of: Respire and Men As Trees.
The most epic post-hardcore/post-metal/post-rock album I’ve ever heard, with a tad of Envy thrown in for good measure. Released on Icorrupt Records.
12” on white vinyl with gatefold lyrics. 4 songs.

This ANIMAL FACES split shows this Toronto trio leaning even more towards post-hardcore/shoegaze but still retaining a driving, post-hardcore feel. SOLIDS are from Quebec and bring even noisier rock to the table.
For fans of:
12 Hour Turn, Lautrec and Itto.
2 tracks by Animal Faces and 1 by Solids.

Azzacov’s ‘Fragmente’ releases on Sunday May 8th and here are the variants! Get them from Tomb Tree (aka through the ZBR stores) and Middle Man Records. What’s it sound like? Jam a song here and find out!
Where is my Anna Sage record? Why, it’s still in France! The gatefold 12” jackets were delayed in Germany so that’s why we don’t have these yet. We’ll update you once they ship. It’s a killer album, and if you buy the tapes we can ship those immediately <3
ANNA SAGE ‘Anna Sage‘ cassette/12"LP (ZBR279)
For fans of: WristMeetRazor, Crossed, and Converge
France’s ANNA SAGE have released a few EPs in the past, the first in 2014 and previous in 2018, so naturally after four more years they have another release but hooooooly moly is it massive (and an LP instead of an EP). 11 absolutely devastating tracks of metallic hardcore/screamo in the vein of Converge and old WristMeetRazor. When we first heard this release we were floored, and not only helped with the 12” but also asked if we could head up the tapes, of which there are 50 and we have 40 of those (the other 10 are with the band). 12”s should arrive in April (along with the full digital release) but we already have the tapes and we’ll ship those out late March :)
12”LP /300 on black vinyl with gatefold jacket.
Cassette /55, 33 on red swirl, 10 on clear/gold swirl, 5 mystery swirls, 2 red/gold swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case.
11 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOUL GLO = I may have already posted this but I’m too lazy to go back and check. Most important album I’ve heard in a very, very long time.
