On the hour Tomb Tree is releasing ‘Only Eye’ by Australia’s Keratin and it’s one of the best EPs of 2022. Incredible, swirling instrumentals with low-end screaming. Kind of like Nionde Plagan mixed with Suis La Lune. So very good, and features a member of Gil Cerrone! 84 tapes were made and we only have 30 of those!

Massa Nera released their absolutely massive cd/tape/12” on Friday to a lava-like response. The seafoam and white vinyl variants are gone (only splatter remains), the cds are gone, and the swirl tapes are almost gone. Not bad for three days of being out in the world…that’s a famous baby.

New Day Rising has pre-orders going up on December 9th (mostly because we know Dec 23rd is a bit close to the holidays) and ZBR only has 50 copies (a LOT of these will be in the Canada/International store). If interested definitely be around on said day. Times-a-comin’.

Operation X-Ray was played on Friday and they pushed a little extra Lower Automation. This Friday’s episode might even have some unreleased stuff!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: PRESTERES = Really cool stuff that just got released from New York. Excited to hear a proper recording, as even though they’re lo-fi you can hear how good this band is. Or it’s just a screamo recording. Take your pick! Either way, super sick.
