NEW FORMS - I don’t want to live my life again (cassetteLP) (ZBR178)
For fans of: Ampere, Loma Prieta, Dim Into Dross and Capsule.
I loved it. You loved it. The internet publication Deli Magazine loved it. And for all these reasons we needed to do a second pressing. Chaotic, claustrophobic, cathartic. Any adjective that begins with C describes this release. "I don't want to live my life again" fills all the space in the room the way bands like Ampere, Capsule, and Loma Prieta do. And we have two options because we know you love options A gorgeous fully enclosed O-card with a new murky blue/green/yellow color scheme and dark blue cassette. download code included. Or standard Jcard with pink/blue swirl cassette that matches the art. download code included.
48 on blue w/o-card
20 on pink/blue swirl

AMYGDALA - Our Voices Will Soar Forever (cassetteLP) (ZBR177)
For fans of: Left Astray, Dad Thighs and Drei Affen.
AMYGDALA and Zegema Beach Records have nearly crossed paths release-wise so many times in the past, it makes releasing their 2019 LP ‘Our Voices Will Soar Forever’ on cassette all that much sweeter. This tape version of Prosthetic Records’ 12” vinyl is available on either white/pink swirl or transparent purple/pink swirl, both of which look stunning. 11 tracks of very progressive and political hardcore/crust/screamo from California.
47 tapes over 3 variants (+5 test tapes) w/j-card. 9 songs.
25 on white/pink swirl
19 on purple/pink swirl
3 on black swirl

NERVER - Believer’s Hit (cassetteLP) (ZBR179)
For fans of: The Jesus Lizard, Akimbo and Cassilis

These 10 tracks fucking deliver, drawing influences from as much Melvins and The Jesus Lizard to newer acts such as Moxiebeat and Breather Resist. Coreleased with The Ghost Is Clear Records.
150 tapes over 2 variants w/j-card. 10 songs. Download code included.
90 on marble swirl
50 on white
