Nhomme's Second Course

July 10, 2023 by David Norman

Nhomme’s 2023 EP sold out months back and today we release the second run of cassettes. 152 more copies were made, variants include 95 white/black/silver sparkle (almost all band copies), 35 multi-color swirl, 10 purple swirl, 4 test dips, 5 bandcamp-exclusive stamped bag editions, and 3 clear. They release on the hour, today at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. I gotta head out to band practice so the bandcamp editions are live now!!!

Seasons Worn releases this Friday! Here are the variants for this awesome metalcore EP from Vancouver. In fact, This Noise Is Ours was so taken with it that they reviewed the full EP after already posting a single song premiere. Thanks James! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Excrucis did a podcast with CanaDave cuz Michael and Linda both have a past with him and their new album in sensational. Tapes are in the Tomb Tree section of our store! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the interview post.

One of the best heavy albums of the year got yet another review, as Telos continues to dominate the Best Of 2023 metal category (for me, at least). We got some 12”s in stock as well as the Tomb Tree tapes but the Canada/International store already sold out, US copies are the only ones that remain! Click on this text or the picture above for the review.

Lower Automation sent over a lyric booklet in PDF that you can snag when you download the ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’ album from our bandcamp. Very cool stuff!

Orphan Donor made my head explode at ZBR Fest. They were awesome, and considering this was born as the drummer’s solo project…that’s extra impressive. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: They Call Me Armageddon Volume 6 = This ridiculous comp has a ton of sick bands on it, including an unreleased Aux.Aura jam!

2023 - 06 - 07 /// Joliette music video

June 07, 2023 by David Norman

Joliette has a new music video for their song “Lemus” off of their upcoming ‘Luz de Bengala’ 12”EP. We put this sucker to press recently so expect a full release later this summer.

The Faffle is just over a week out! All of CanaDave’s extra mage, handmade, stupid fancy, and test press 12”s will be raffled off for the last time on June 15th at 6pm PST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST live on Instagram! Every other day or so we’ll update with pics of stuff that will be in the Faffle…like the pictured 4-Way stupid fancy /50 and a Terry Green test press /5! There’s more comin’, but snag some tickets below if you’re already starting to salivate. Each ticket gets you one step closer to winning an item on the Faffle wheel, and if you win your remaining tickets are taken out. We’ll start with the crowdpleasing mages, followed by hand-mades, stupid fancies, and then the last couple test presses (one of which hasn’t been released yet!). Winners have to pay shipping.

CanaDave is workin’ his ass off getting The Vault ready for it’s June 10th opening (it closes June 15th at 6pm PST, same as the Faffle deadline). Like last time, it will house a bunch of personal copies of tapes, vinyl, t-shirts, cds, stickers, and posters that have either been sold out for a long time or were never posted for sale. These products will appear in a “The Vault" tab which will become visible one June 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST at the top navigation column of this website (up there with ZBR News, Canada/International Store, U.S.A. Store, etc.

Aux.Aura’s debut EP drops on Tuesday June 13th! Take a look at the variants above: 18 on blue swirl, 10 black and white swirl, 10 halfsies swirl, and 5 test dips. Jam a face-melter below.

New Forms. Fucking New Forms yo. They absolutely slayed the pre-show. I was in awe. Here’s a quick video giving you some idea of the power and emotion this band brought to a small-ass basement show. As we will start posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, there’s more coming!

Scenario and Massa Nera were featured on Noisy Tapes, we’re almost out of Scenario and our Massa Nera stock continues to dwindle in each variant. Click on the text or the pic below to go!

Here’s a new Hiding In The Outpost for the Drei Affen and Coma Regalia split 7” that just showed up from a German trade from Dingleberry. Last copy!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SICKLE EATER = This incredible new project just posted their second song and it’s a banger just like the first!

2023 - 06 - 05 /// Final Zaffle = Faffle

June 05, 2023 by David Norman

The Faffle is going strong! All of CanaDave’s extra mage, handmade, stupid fancy, and test press 12”s will be raffled off for the last time on June 15th at 6pm PST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST live on Instagram! Every other day or so we’ll update with pics of stuff that will be in the Faffle…like the pictured Motel Bible pixelated /50 and that gorgeous Cinq 5-Way split on blowout /50! There’s more comin’, but snag some tickets below if you’re already starting to salivate. Each ticket gets you one step closer to winning an item on the Faffle wheel, and if you win your remaining tickets are taken out. We’ll start with the crowdpleasing mages, followed by hand-mades, stupid fancies, and then the last couple test presses (one of which hasn’t been released yet!). Winners have to pay shipping.

Olth interview did a little interview with Hellgate NYC. Want a tape? Too bad we’re all sold out. Guess we gotta order more, but we’ll wait till the 100 12”s release first :) Click on the text or the pic above to go to the interview.

We will start posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played. Therefore, here’s the literal fest opener “Lost” by Apostles Of Eris from their split with Pique. There’s a single 12” left on our bandcamp!

Tomb Tree unveiled their other June release which is the debut/self-titled Aux.Aura cassette EP. You can stream a song via This Noise Is Ours by click on this text or the pic above. Full release is June 13th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Jazzbrunch was the topic of CanaDave’s most recent Out Past the Rings. If you aren’t familiar with this 7”EP you should do so immediately because between our two stores we only have 5 left! Features members of Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket and Totem Skin!!!

Softseed Music’s Uno Lady just released her second music video from ‘Alaska’ titled' “Acappella Instrumental”. It’s a wonderful counterpoint to the chaotic shrieking of ZBR and Tomb Tree. This store has one copy left, as does the Softseed Bandcamp.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD = Brand spankin’ new BC screamo baby!!!
