Edhochuli is Monday, Volp out, Pettersson pre-order!

February 10, 2024 by David Norman

Edhochuli drops on Monday! The three labels each have their own variant but I do believe each label will have a few complete sets available for purchase if variant collecting is your thing. We’ll get promos out just before drop on Monday!!!

A quick reminder that Pettersson 12”LP pre-orders released the other day for ‘Ashen Plain’! We’ll only have 30 copies so that’s a hard recommendation from both Daves to snag one. Operation X-Ray also played a track from it on their radio show, so if you’re looking for new bands to find you’ll hear like 40+ bands!

While you wait for the Edhochuli 12” you’d be silly to not check out Volp from France who released ‘Vortex’ this past week on Tomb Tree. Fans of The Minor Times, Anna Sage, and Horsewhip will eat this shit up, it’s amazing! Everything Is Noise somehow missed out label making the tapes, but you can check that out by clicking on this text.

La Parade’s ‘Voces del Exilio’ cd/12”LP is officially a decade old! Holy crap, I remember showing this to my cousin’s partner before it was released and prior to ZBR even being known to the public. It’s an amazing mixture of Standstill, Viva Belgrado, and Envy. We still got a handful of 12”s!!!

Here’s the final ZBR Fest 2024 poster! The pre-show and the full fest shall be very well attended according to ticket sales, so if you’re thinking of coming don’t wait too long! Click on the poster above or this text to snag some tickets.

This Noise Is Ours continued their ZBR Roster Review series with No Heirloom’s self-titled 7” lathe. We have a handful left including the last few clear! Go to the review by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Angry Metal Guy gave Closet Witch some love! Speaking of love, in case you didn’t hear Closet Witch is on a hiatus because they have a baby on the way! Talk about the best reason for a hiatus ever. Congratulations to the band but especially Mollie and Cory <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: METH. = This entire thing was played live at ZBR Fest 2023, so hearing it from the comfort of my own home is both amazing and fucking terrifying. See them at ZBR Fest 2024’s pre-show!

2023 - 11 - 20 /// Dave Cullen Goes To Mexico

November 20, 2023 by David Norman

First and foremost, please have patience with the US store as there will be no shipping until December while Dave from Crowning/ZBR USA is on tour in Mexico. When he gets back it’s time for the Othiel drop and by god it’s a fucking killer debut 12”LP that fans of Crowning will fall head over heels for.

Obroa-skai has been getting mad love and it’s pretty obvious why. Genre-bending hardcore from Edmonton featuring ex-members of Mahria and Rayleigh! Flowers of evil and the upside down recently reviewed ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time’ which you can read by clicking this text or the pic above. Jam that shit below and pick up a 12” if you’re so inclined!

Closet Witch’s album continues to kick ass globally. They’ve gone on hiatus but are still gonna be cranking out music videos until the end of the year! Metalorgie recently reviewed the album at the top of their Closet Witch band profile, linked to this text or you can click on the pic above.

We did the cassettes for the Meth. debut LP ‘Mother of Red Light’ so it’s high time for Out Past the Rings. (listen to it here) This 177th installment comes less than a few months before the release of 2024’s ‘SHAME’ on Prosthetic Records.

2023 - 07 - 14 /// Orchid is on its way

July 14, 2023 by David Norman

Yep, Orchid’s ‘Gatefold’ has already been shipped to us so we’ll get them online next week for sale. Ebullition coming in huge. We got just over 20 copies.

Also coming up is an old ZBR release that’s so incredible that we had to put it to 12” mage alongside our family at No Funeral Records. July 26th. It’ll be nuts.

In Loving Memory released their final single off of ‘A Gentler Sun’ before the EP’s full release on July 21st. Here’s the single, and I just finished the tapes today! Promo pics coming Monday!!!

The new Seasons Worn EP ‘A Flower In Faith’ is out and kicking ass. Tomb Tree released this cassette on 53 copies and the band’s got 20 so we’ve only got about 30 for sale between the two stores, with the Canada store selling more than half of it’s stock in the first few hours.

For more info check out the Veil Of Sound premiere that went up yesterday. Click on this text or the pic above to go the premiere. You can also open the bandcamp embed up below to get the buy links.

This Noise Is Ours plugged another ZBR release with their Roster Review series, this time focusing on the arguably perfect ‘moments’ by Japan’s Sans Visage. I’m pretty sure we’re sold out, save maybe one copy in this store, although it might be a Utarid version. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Repeating their “what the FUCK was that?” response from last year’s fest, Meth. knows how to wow a crowd, plain and simple. It didn’t hurt that they played their entire new LP in full that doesn’t come out until 2024. We were a buncha lucky ducks, I tell ya. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THE LOVE AND TERROR CULT = CanaDave was inquiring with the band about releasing their discography, and now he knows why they didn’t do it, cuz this was already well under way. So good!!!
