2024 - 11 - 04 /// Senza released!!!

Senza’s ‘Celestial Body’ is officially out! 500 copies over 200 pink/blue/black merge, 150 pink, and 150 blue, all with etched b-side and 12-page lyric book. Merges are definitely the hot ticket item and are moving hella fast. UK/EU customers snag from Dog Knights unless you’re placing a multi-item order.

Concealer is the next ZBR release and it’s this Friday! ‘Heartfelt Entries’ includes two brand new songs and the ‘dissonance [all that keeps me away]’ EP on one convenient cassette. Jam the already released EP below!

---

Coup D’Etat has an 8-song cassette full length releasing Dec 13th on Tomb Tree but the first single is up on the artist’s Bandcamp page. The metallic screamo three-piece from Vancouver Island has been kicking ass at shows since I moved here and we are hella excited about it.

Hallam Foe got some serious love from Everything Is Noise with their epic piece about how fucking exciting this 12” lathe really is. Read all about it by clicking on the pic above or this text. Experience the brain-fuckery below, and pick up a copy before they’re gone if you’re so inclined.

Orphan Donor’s ‘Old Patterns’ was the subject of the most recent Out Past the Rings. A reminder that 1) there are two tapes left in stock and 2) the packaging says ZBR188 but it’s actually ZBR189.

Vi Som Alskade Varanda Sa Mycket’s debut 12”LP is officially 10 years old! Holy crap I remember finding out about them beforehand and getting ZBR’s hand in juuuuuust before the 12” went to press on Blood Of The Young. Nick was truly welcoming and working with him was a downright amazing experience, RIP my dude <3 Click on this text or the pic above to go the Idioteq.com piece that also serves as an interview with vocalist and my friend Arvid (vocals).

We sold out of that beautiful thing ages ago, but we do have a few copies left of their 8-way 2x12” ‘Eight Feet Under’ (with two exclusive/amazing tracks, embedded below) and their full length follow-up ‘Det onda. Det goda. Det vackra. Det fula.’ (embedded above).

2022 - 06 - 08 /// Leaving for ZBR Fest tomorrow

Oh damn I hop on the first of two plants tomorrow morning at an ungodly hour…but I’m still psyched as all hell! I’m all packed and ready to go and the purple Loftus zip-ups were just dropped off and look absolutely stunning with this version having a fire iridescent back and front, so I’ll bring one of each size with me (M/L/XL). Line-ups? There ya go! (below, you numbskull)

Don’t forget that we still have a couple of orange Loftus zip-ups left, and here’s a little video of the purple iridescence.
