CanaDave's SkramzCave tomorrow, Sine Nomine now!

November 28, 2025 by David Norman

After nearly 22 hours of work CanaDave’s SkramzCave finally goes live tomorrow at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. This is comprised of a vast number of personal items that I just don’t need anymore and would live better lives in homes that have the space and time to appreciate them. A few more key items are pictured in the gallery below, but the two product tabs will house about 300 products!!! Oh, and remember to check back on Monday for the Mercy Necromancy reveal!

Sine Nomine’s first release in a decade is out and ‘The Sunder Veil’ is a fucking trip. Whether it be the unsettling noise, massive riffs, unhinged vocals, or almost Helmet-esque dabbling in grunge/noise rock, something here is sure to pique your interest. For fans of Eyes, Deftones, (early) Blcklstrs, etc.

Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ made Exclaim’s Best Albums of 2025, beating out some serious heavy hitters. Check out their list by clicking on the pic above or this text. Go jam the album below and snag a tape before they’re gone too.

Crossed’s ‘Realismo ausente’ 12”LP ranked in the top 30 Metal Albums of 2025! Hell fucking yeah, this band and this album in particular are fucking incredible. Click on the pic above or this text for the full list, jam/buy this beast below before we sell out of it like we did their first two LPs.

Coup D’etat got a wicked write-up via Broc Nelson from Everything Is Noise. This band owns Vancouver Island, check it out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below!

Hetta’s new album ‘Acetate’ has been all over my feeds the past week, and with just reason! Their debut LP is bursting with righteous jams that land somewhere between The Blood Brothers and The Locust. Check out the Glam Magazine review by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below - the pics for the tapes will go up on Monday as I just have to stamp those suckers then snap their beauty shots.

This Noise Is Ours gave the new Hoari EP two thumbs in their most recent review. We released this stellar 2024 EP in 2025 cuz it needed more love - and now here we are! Review linked to the pic above and this text, jam/buy the last few copies below!

Another tape that was just in limbo as it wasn’t in stock anywhere but I gotz one left! I just put the first Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow cassette EP 2nd run mystery swirl /10 up in the store but the product is embedded below for your convenience on our Bandcamp, making it Today’s Last Fucking Copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MONDRARY = Phenomenal album. Just wicked stuff.

2025 - 11 - 24 /// Softseed Steppin' Up

November 24, 2025 by David Norman

As ZBR sales decline in our current economic slide into the ninth circle of hell, CanaDave must shift a lot of focus to Softseed Music, as things are really heating up over there. Besides landing some incredible artists recently (Smush, Dollie Rot, etc.), 2026 will be even more amazing, and it actually starts December 1st, 2025 with Mercy Necromancy! Full details will be be revealed at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST via Softseed Music!!!

Click here for the full podcast and links!

Speaking of Softseed Music, New Zealand’s Mieke and Softseed are teaming up for ‘Frau Eva’ to get on 12” vinyl. Not sure if there will be a pre-order for it or not, as we’re getting close to ordering but we’ll keep you in the loop. Until then, check out this stellar interview with the artist via the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast. Lotta great stuff in there including Dave the Elitist Screamo Douchebag. Definitely check it out, as well as her entire discography and other band Wallflower. Everything you need can be accessed by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Bok Suna’s Yuri had a great interview with Heather Lovelady of the Proper Fangirl podcast! Fuck easter, painting eggs that bunnies can’t lay is stupid. Amen, Yuri. Amen.

This Saturday November 29th is the weekend that you can visit and purchase a buncha stuff from CanaDave’s SkramzCave. In short, Dave has accumulated way too many personal items, most of which he has never listened to or played due to the sheer volume of stuff. Some pics of upcoming items can be found in last week’s post and I’ve just stuffed another 10+ more below in the gallery slideshow.

Hetta’s ‘Acetate’ is tracking hard, as it should as it combines the sass of The Blood Brothers, the unpredictability of The Locust, and the weirdness of Usurp Synapse into a completely new and cohesive album. Idioteq.com interviewed the band about their process to get here and it’s a great read. The tapes arrive at ZBR headquarters today so we’ll have pics later this week. Go to the article by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below!

Demersal 12”s finished at the plant! They should be here in December!!! Snag a copy as we are only getting 30 and sold half already.

This Noise Is Ours gave the Heaven Through Violence and Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave split some love. We have just a handful of these left and I know Larry is sold out. Don’t sleep on it, the economy is not pushing us toward any represses at the moment! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Listen/buy below.

Oh shit this copy wasn’t up in any store! We don’t have Meth. on Bandcamp as it was a Prosthetic Records release, but we did do the tapes and there’s one gorgeous copy left with a sparkle j-card! I just put it up in the store but the product is embedded below for your convenience, thus making it Today’s Last Fucking Copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace! That top left swirl with the golden line is the exact copy you’ll be buying.

2025 - 11 - 21 /// Hetta + Twins released!

November 21, 2025 by David Norman

CanaDave has officially pushed his record collection past its threshold in order to clear space, put the records in hands that can appreciate them more, and raise some funds during this economic downturn to get our next few releases to press. CanaDave’s SkramzCave goes live next weekend, here’s a taste of what you’ll find…

Hetta’s ‘Acetate’ released on Tomb Tree and it’s fucking nuts. Get your head sassed right off below. The tapes are done at the duplication plant but don’t arrive till Monday, so we’ll have pics of the variants mid-next week and all copies should be shipped out to customers by mid-December.

Twins is out! The 12”s are a bit behind but should be shipped in December. We’ve literally got 3 copies left over the 3 stores, act now before they’re gone!

Inosuke’s ‘Allomancer’ did another great interview, this time with Idioteq.com and provide a track-by-track commentary. Click on the pic above or this text to read it, listen/buy 10”s below.

Holy fuck how do I still have one of these!?!?!? Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the debut Majorel EP and arguably their best work. If you want it you can grab it from the ZBR Bandcamp page embedded below. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Operation X-Ray gave our Oshera split with Tamsaran a play, check it out above! Last tape copies are in the store…there’s like 4 left.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: STENTIAL = Kickass new EP!!!

2025 - 11 - 17 /// Sign Up for the ZBR Mailing List

November 17, 2025 by David Norman

Alright as of today pretty much every Usurp Synapse pre-order goes out the door, with most other orders also being in transit (save 60 in the US store). Thanks for bearing with us, we had a lot going on (not just with the labels) so your patience and support are greatly appreciated!

In other big news we highly recommend that you sign up for our ZBR newsletter by emailing us at zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com with “ZBR EMAIL LIST plz” as the subject. We’ll start spitting stuff out monthly at the least starting sometime in December.

Softseed Music just released the debut ‘Leaving’ by Corey Cash & Chuka Stergios. The crushingly honest and beautiful vocals layered over gorgeous acoustic guitar is apparent right from the title-track opener - these songs will both comfort and mesmerize with equally angelic and playful elements. Pressing on 26 cassettes: 11 blue swirl, 5 orange, 5 orange swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case. For fans of: Grouper, Saram12Saram, Mieke, and Magana. 8 tracks. Features members of Bubble Scary.

Inosuke were interviewed by Cinepunx so be sure you scope that. Lotta really good questions and thoughtful answers. We only took 50 of these records (25 of each variant) and both are already more than half gone! Features our friends Jason and Erik from a buncha sick projects such as Locktender, Men As Trees, Lautrec, and Stormlight just to name a few! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the interview.

Tomb Tree’s Naufraage and Softseed’s Fainting Dreams made the Noise of October 2025 round-up by the always reliable Everything Is Noise. I was personally turned onto Silvana Estrada and Hilary Woods, and reminded about the Rolo Tomassi and Agriculture, all of which I snagged. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list.

Hetta’s mind-melting full length is out in just a few days and it’s going to floor you. Some seriously batshit stuff that fans of Usurp Synapse, The Locust, Missouri Executive Order 44, and Blood Brothers will surely drool over. You can scope a few jams on their bandcamp page as well as a premiere/review from Lovers And Lollypops by clicking on the pic above or this text. Tomb Tree is dropping 40 of these tapes on November 21st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy is Lower Automation’s self-titled album on cassette test dip! It’s actually a Tomb Tree release too which they did the tapes for (with alternate artwork). I had to post the session that US Dave did with the band where they played this album in full…it’s amazing, especially if you watch the full thing and see how the editing gets more and more fucked with. If you want it you can grab this historic brain slap from the ZBR Bandcamp page embedded below. Snag now or forever hold your peace! P.S. Derek and Brian have a new project coming out later this year or early 2026 so keep an ear out.

Operation X-Ray’s 204th episode features the incredible Lucertulas as well as our very own Jota, Inosuke, and Hetta!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIRA CORPORA = Yeah this slaps.

2025 - 11 - 12 /// Adobe Homes released!

November 11, 2025 by David Norman

Important updates here first, the Usurp Synapse box bound for Canada arrives on Friday so 100% of the those stragglers will be shipped off next week, missing our official deadline by like a week. Not too shabby, I must say.

Next, the US store sells A LOT of mystery items and we realized it was 100% out of stock…well, problem solved! Restocked and includes test presses!!! You can access that sucker by clicking on this text.

We did it! Adobe Homes is out! After a decade of silence the band returns with a new 12-track album that dips between dark interludes and noodley screamo. The packaging on this is amazing and you’ve got to hold one to really grasp how sick the screen-printed covers are.

Hetta’s new release and first full length ‘Acetate’ drops November 21st on Tomb Tree! The music video for their new “Plainclothes Man” is above, and somehow we have two copies left of their debut EP (which is incredible btw) embedded below on the bandcamp page. The new material is crazy wonky, bringing to mind The Locust, Usurp Synapse, and Missouri Executive Order 44.

Another music video, this is the last Twins single and music video for “Presence”. 12” LP full release on November 21st (records probably won’t be in hand yet) but we only got 30 copies for ZBR and we’ve moved more than 20 already! Buy links in the embedded bandcamp below.

Eklektik Rock reviewed the Lucidity x Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow split and gave it high praise. If you like your emo-violence unrelenting or beautiful, this split has you covered. Arguably the best split we’ll release in 2025. 7” copies /100 remain below. Go to the review by clicking on this text or the pic above.

A live studio video of Avery Friedman’s “Finger Painting” was released and you should def check it out. Easily one of my favourites from ‘New Thing’, this Brooklyn-based artist released her phenomenal debut earlier this year and Softseed is the only place to get those sweet, sweet, stupid fancies.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to Lorne Malvo’s first self-titled EP. We actually sold out of these initially but I realized I kept one back in case of a shipping mishap, so this has been sitting around for a bit and we def aren’t making more. If you want it you can grab it from our Bandcamp page embedded below. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Operation X-Ray’s 204th episode features the incredible Lucertulas as well as our very own Jota, Inosuke, and Hetta!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIRA CORPORA = Yeah this slaps.
