2023 - 03 - 29 /// Zaffle raffle tickets
What is the Zaffle? The Zaffle is a raffle contest where you can buy tickets to win 12” mages, 7” mages, stupid fancy vinyl, 12” handmades, and then 12” and 7” test presses (raffled off in that order). Once you win something, the rest of your ballots will be removed. The tickets are open to purchase now (linked under this text) and close on Sunday at 6pm PST when the draw is held live on instagram. Winners will be contacted by email and only pay shipping UNLESS you are coming to ZBR Fest in which case you will not be charged shipping and can just pick it up there.
What is The Vault? This will be a product page of out-of-print stuff and rare stuff that includes all of the cassettes, maybe some cds, as well as 12”, 10”, 7”, and 5” vinyl. These things will just be posted as regular products in a new tab (at the top of this page next to “Zegema Beach Releases”) that will appear on Saturday April 1st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and will close on Sunday at 12am PST, with the tab becoming inactive.
Want some more pics? Sure, here you go.
CanaDave did the final Out Past the Rings for one of his own projects, the last мятеж release ‘Riot/Mutiny’. A single dipped tape will be going up in The Vault this Saturday if you want a shot at something that’s been sold out for almost 4 years.
***CanaDave forgot to mention a few things, primarily about the opening track “June and July, Life Over Die” was originally recorded as part of the 4-song demo that was dispersed over some comps. I always knew my vocals could be better than the original and Jesse helped elevate the song to what we did live with dual vocals, as it was probably our favorite live jam. The song is about overcoming alcoholism. “Redacted” also has Jesse doing vocals who nailed the super gutteral stuff at the beginning of the song. The death of this band led to me officially joining Jesse as a vocalist for Apostles Of Eris.
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOLLAPS/E = I was sent this Swedish band’s stuff to review and I really fell in love with awesome, crusty, epic, doomy, crushing post-hardcore/metal.
