For fans of: Youth Funeral, Frail Body, United Nations, and Deafheaven.

Two current screamo heavyweights with 15 years worth of playing between them have teamed up for a new split 7” with two new songs from each band. Chicago’s Crowning have been a ZBR staple since their debut EP in 2017 carrying the mathy/sludgy/heavy torch, while Baltimore’s Eyelet are approaching a decade as a band and released one of the best records in a very long time with their ‘The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes’ (being played in full at this year’s ZBR Fest…along with an Eyelet/Crowning battle set!!!). Crowning’s two songs can be listened to alongside the Naedr split songs as they were all written under the same theme, while Eyelet’s jams are standalone bangers.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: .GIF FROM GOD = Our favourite Virginia techy hardcore/metal friends have just released a new EP that is by far the heaviest shit they’ve done.

2022 - 10 - 09 /// ...Of Death day!

October 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is officially …Of Death day! The governments approve! No school! All places of businesses will be closed! Mark in the calendar every year! Too much? Sorry. Seriously stoked on this massive 30-track release from the Fort Worth, Texas band who released from 2000-2003 in the Jeromes Dream, Saetia, Spirit Of Versailles vein. That D-side etching is awesome and shows up on both C/D variants of ghostly/166 and blobbly/168. Co-released with Cliff Parade Records and Law Of Cycles, the latter of which we’ll be selling through our store.

---

Soul Crusher has a debut EP coming out on Softseed Music on October 19th! Who is behind Soul Crusher? Why it’s Sasha from Life In Vacuum, Kiken, and Congratulations! There was a music video premiered a week or two back (embedded below) and there’s another song premiere dropping before the release, but I figured it’s probably time to show off that primary variant! Opaque red swirl! Woot woot!!!

---

A friendly reminder that we did the double To Be Gentle cassette drop on Friday and you can get ‘Unbroken’ now and pre-order ‘it always hurts and one day it will win’. Just click on this text to head over to the Tomb Tree bandcamp page where you can link to either ZBR store.

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split (12"LP)

CA$20.00

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split 12" (ZBR134)

For fans of: Funeral Diner, Snag, Kidcrash and Off Minor.

A split years in the making finally sees the light of day, with two incredible U.S. screamo bands offering up a total of 30 minutes of chill emo all the way to explosive, cathartic, dual vocal screamo. PTP has been releasing for years now and their 7 songs come in as their most mature, atmospheric and epic of all of their material thus far. SW drops 3 new tunes, with two of them being five-minutes plus in length and coming across as even heavier than their earlier Kidcrash/Off Minor jazz/screamo worship. ONLY 1 COPY IN STOCK, ACQUIRED FROM DINGLEBERRY!!!

12” black vinyl/300. 7 songs by PTP and 3 by SW. Download code included.

Operation X-Ray played so many songs from our bands it was a brain-slap. Blue Youth, Venus Twins, Virgin Mother, Works, Fiesta Bizarra, Colacon, and To Be Gentle!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOMN = There were some very brief discussions about ZBR releasing the upcoming Somn album and it looks like said record either became a split OR here’s a split and the album is coming later. That first track is absolute fire!

2022 - 09 - 29 /// ...OF DEATH...discography 2x12"!!!

Monday October 10th will see the release of the 2x12” ‘…discography’ by ….Of Death with D-side etching. It’s /300 copies and 150 of them are this - yellow/red merge disc 1 and ghostly red w/etching for disc 2. We’ll reveal the other variant next week. This is a co-release with Cliff Parade and Law Of Cycles, with each label taking 100 copies. Rosa of Law Of Cycles had this to say about the release:

What is there to say about ...Of Death? The band pulled my heart into a new world entirely at a time when I relied on nu-metal for catharsis. On "Generation of Vipers" the band draws from a similar well of influence frequented by Jeromes Dream, Tristan Tzara, and In Loving Memory. The songs prioritize the obnoxious attitude of punk while highlighting the urgency of grindcore, & work to convey the glory of triumphant rage. Well, more than they care to succumb to sadness & stillness, anyway. The Doomsday clock is ticking...

Check out one of the remastered songs (by Will Killingsworth) on the most recent Zampler 19, embedded below.

Hiding In The Outpost numba three is for Euth, as the Canada/International store (aka this one) only has one copy left! Bandcamp page with order link is embedded below!

CanaDave did an interview for this lengthy screamo piece on Stereogum. It’s an article about screamo band reformations as of late, and brings up some great points and is an interesting read. It should be noted that there are quite a few individuals who have been playing screamo these past 20+ years but we understand that there’s only so much time for research and only so much space in an article. Click on this text for the article. <3 <3 <3

---

Blue Youth 12”s are on sale! Why? Because they are amazing! And you’ve likely never heard it. Please change that. For CanaDave’s sake, please at least give it a listen. It’s one of our best releases, hands down.

---

Sarin’s ‘Darker Lakes’ was the subject of the most recent This Noise Is Ours ZBR roster dive. To clarify, the 12” does not have the three ambient interludes because they wouldn’t fit on the 12”. We are sold out of this beauty, but do have 12”s and tapes of their follow-up release ‘You Can’t Go Back’. Click on this text to go to the review. Thanks as always James <3

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: C0MPUTER = This Richmond band surprised me with this new album and it’s fucking heeeeeeavy. Awesome follow-up!
