2024 - 11 - 27 /// Gxllium! round two on Thursday!
Okay what’s the good word? Well…first bad news, Canada Post strike still going strong and the government hasn’t met their demands so I reckon most Canada store + Bandcamp orders won’t be moving again this week, but with a month till the holiday I am more optimistic than I would be any other time of the year.
ZBR Fest 2025 Wave 1 a comin’ soon!
Gxllium! 2nd/final run of cassettes for ‘Breakup songs’ is next on Thursday November 28th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. 150 tapes on 65 multi-color swirl, 25 gold fleck swirl, 25 white, 20 random color swirl, 10 yellow swirl, and 7 test dips w/matching swirl case.

NOUS ÉTIONS - 'La Manière Noire'
ZBR021
338 copies, clear with black smoke 12" vinyl, insert. Released November 26th, 2014.
For fans of: Sed Non Satiata, Engineer and Gantz.
Melodic and heavy post-hardcore, post-metal and screamo from Montreal, Quebec (friends with Black Love, no less!). Think Sed Non Satiata instrumentals and throaty Engineer-esque screamy growl. Beautiful music and beautiful artwork/vinyl.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MÁU = Ex-Hawak, this band has been kickin’ ass on the west coast for awhile now, and this debut EP is incredible. We’ll have 10”s for these when they finish at the plant!!! Spring 2025 I reckon.
