Terry Green is out and is kicking serious ass in the nicest, most Canadian way possible. Sorry, eh? Congrats to anyone who purchased in the first hour as we had a sale price for the hardcore fans so congrats to all who jumped at the opportunity to buy such a stellar album immediately. Both variants are going fast, with some going to Germany for distro through I.Corrupt and Zilp Zalp but they probably won’t arrive until late June/July.

There’s a sophomore Excrucis full length on it’s way and a teaser just released this morning. I gotta say, the first one on Tomb Tree (linked below) is great but this new album ‘There are Collectivities that Devour Souls’ is fucking exceptional.

A message from Nick:

Hey! My name is Nick Stetina, I’m a mastering engineer from outside of Chicago. Working on Lower Automation’s recent EP “Welcome to My Deathbed” turned me on to the Zegema Beach Records roster and I am STOKED. What a rad bunch of bands. In the spirit of working with artists and music that I am a genuine fan of I wanted to extend an offer to do a free test master for anyone in the ZBR+Tomb Tree family. I encourage you to hit me up as your wrap mixes for you next project; let’s make some noise together 🤘🏼

John from Usurp Synapse and Displacer came on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast and chatted with DehVE (that’s the Canadian one) about their original run, short-lived second run, and their current third incarnation that recently released ‘Polite Grotesquries’ aka the ‘AssIIAss’ EP. Jam/buy said EP here. Click on the pic above to go to the full blog post or just listen through Bandcamp below.

Demersal got some love from Scream Blast Repeat (our first look at the blog, too, and it’s great!). A few copies remain but won’t last till the end of the year, that’s fer sure. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam/buy below.

Operation X-Ray played Lower Automation and Nuvolascura in their most recent episode!!! Yum yum.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SMUSH = Softseed Music got in on the ground floor and will be releasing this stellar 12” with pre-orders opening upon digital release June 15th, 2024. Gorgeous but heavy shoegaze for fans of Slow Pulp.
