Ashen Hands out, Reverie x Put Purana 12"s

March 14, 2025 by David Norman

Italy’s Ashen Hands has released their new and absolutely incredible debut EP on Tomb Tree. Tapes are done at the plant and arrive at the Canada store for decorating next week, so expect orders to go out late March/early April. Fans of Lucidity, Joshua Fit For Battle, Danse Macabre, and Trainwreck should be all over this.

The Reverie and Put Purana split 12” is finally in stock. We only got 30 copies across the two stores and bandcamp so don’t sleep for too long. Wicked Italian screamo!

Shibuya pre-orders are up in both stores, and the Tomb Tree bandcamp with two songs and the pre-orders go up on Monday to give the Ashen Hands EP some time to breath. The full release is on May 2nd!

SHIBUYA - Bravura y Firmamento (12")

*** this is a pre-order and should be shipping in mid-May ***

SHIBUYA ‘Bravura y Firmamento’ 12” LP (TT130)

For fans of: Viva Belgrado, Øjne, Put Pùrana, and Dagerman.

Incredible sophomore LP from this Spanish band. Their ‘Apolo’ album perked up our ears and helping release this was a no-brainer. Not far removed from Raein and La Quiete, these 11 songs go from gorgeous post-rock to intense screamo, sometimes in the same song! Full release on Tomb Tree May 2nd.

Vinyl /300: 150 on pink marble & 150 on blue, w/insert. 11 songs.

2023 - 02 - 22 /// Crowning + Eyelet split 7"

February 22, 2023 by David Norman

Surprise split 7” between two of screamo’s hottest bands CROWNING and EYELET! Vinyl is in hand and ready to ship from either yours truly or our buds at The Ghost Is Clear Records. There’s 150 of each variant (green and yellow) totaling 300 slabs of sickness.

Don’t forget that these two bands are skramzing-off with a battle set at this year’s ZBR Fest pre-show! The only way to get access to the pre-show is to buy a 2-day pass and those are dwindling!

Click on this poster to go to the ZBRFEST.com site where you can order tickets.

Also, if you need more Crowning in your life you can flush 30 minutes down the drain and watch their European tour documentary with Swallows Nest.

This Canada/International store just got key restocks for Hawak, Cinq, and Reverie! Only two more copies of each as we can’t keep them in stock! Cinq is very close to selling out btw.

HAWAK - nuoc (12")

CA$30.00

HAWAK ‘nuoc‘ 12"LP (ZB185)

For fans of: Kidcrash, Brahm and Beau Navire

It is time. One of the best screamo records of the last decade is finally upon us! HAWAK’s debut full length was delayed for over a year, but through the fire and the flames it carried on, and is finally available thanks to a proper vinyl pressing from Pirates Press. Technically the second time it's been pressed, first time made available to the screamo masses. Released on 300 gold records via Zegema Beach Records, Left Hand Label, and the band. 10 songs of jangly, noodley screamo goodness from the Bay Area, teeming with struggle, defiance, strength and solidarity. Mixing the band’s previous outfit Matsuri with a bit more Kidcrash and a bit more Loma Prieta, HAWAK’s debut 12”LP is astonishing in both its vision and execution. And the folks that play in the band are just plain dandy. ❤

12” vinyl /300 on marigold (2nd/good run). Includes insert booklet and stickers. 10 songs.
12” vinyl /300 on gold (1st/questionable run) not for sale until the 2nd run sells out.

REVERIE - Everything repeats itself forever (12")

CA$22.00

REVERIE ‘Everything repeats itself forever‘ 12LP" (ZBR288)

For fans of: Raein, Monte Ida, and Gillian Carter

Incredible, driving, romantic screamo from Italy. Dynamic shifts, passionate screams, epic-yet-concise...this really is an incredible album. 8 absolutely bangin’ screamo jam from the world’s primo screamo hot-spot in Italy, the record sways dangerously back and forth between blazing, violent, noisy, cathartic hardcore to serene, melodic, introspective melodic sections.

12” /300 on red transparent marble vinyl. Includes lyric insert. 8 songs.

Sear got a very in-depth review from Everything Is Noise last week and we’d be silly not to share it. Click on this text or the pic to go to the review.

Nhomme also had a fantastic review courtesy of Heavy Pop. Translate away if needed. And check that music video if you haven’t already! Click on this text for the review or the pic above!

Our final review comes from Demonic Nights for the new Lower Automation 12”LP that continues to simultaneously mystify and ruin brains. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and jam that shit below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: STASIS = My pal Hayden from Thank You Driver showed me this during our podcast and it ruined me. Amazing new metalcore from British Columbia.

September 27, 2022 by David Norman

October will see the release of a 2x12” discography with D-side etching. What is it? Not sayin’ yet. It’s /300 copies across two variants and I’ll give you a hint, they’re on this zampler :)

Colacon is gearing up to release their new album ‘The Pestilent Sickness’ on Tomb Tree via 50-something swirl tapes. Awesome grindy, mathy, metallic, myspace-core. Besides the video below, they also have a new song/video releasing this Friday on This Noise Is Ours!

My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest continues to own the top 5 screamo charts on bandcamp. Here’s a new/awesome review from the Revisionist Western Blog, which is a good time to remind you that the tapes are almost gone. Click on this link for the review!

Out Past the Rings for the amazing Euth 12”! We’re down to our last copy!!!

Operation X-Ray’s most recent episode dropped some Colacon, Reverie, and Qatsi. This Friday should see an unreleased jam from Tomb Tree and more ZBR music! There might even be some Softseed Music played! Oh happy day.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: EASY BLAME = New band from a member of Ed Gein! Screamo! Yeeeeeeeeah!!!

2022 - 09 - 25 /// Get ready for Monday!

September 25, 2022 by David Norman

We’re releasing that stab to the brain known as Qatsi tomorrow alongside the Reverie 12” because both digitals have already been released, so who cares! Maybe we can help you save on shipping by doing this. Here are the three variants for the Qatsi debut EP ‘‘Засыпай. /80 or something, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Reverie releases on 12” tomorrow as well, so bundle up those orders and save on shipping! We’ve only got 30 copies across two stores, I think they might go pretty quickly.

Mathcore Index’s Mathcast gave Rotting In Dirt some serious love and even mentioned that it was their most listened to album from the entire podcast. That’s really sayin’ something!!! Thanks fellas <3

Meditations #5 ‘Understanding’ 7” is finally available in the Canada/International store after something like an 8 month delay. The Meditations set is now complete.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THOUGHTCRIMES = Good fucking lord where did this come from? Absolutely bonkers mathcore with some seriously top-notch vocals.
