OFIAAS is out, Edhochuli single, Llewelyn music video

January 16, 2024 by David Norman

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow’s debut 12” ‘LP’ is officially out and making the rounds. It’s on Bandcamp right now with Spotify and all other platforms on January 20th. You can snag a black vinyl /100 if you dig the songs, and it comes with an insert so you can find out what the hell we’re all screamin’ about. Not Just A Phase gave a very awesome review which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic below.

Edhochuli’s new single is out! Playing off the “Totally Caveman” title, “Questionably Paleo, Incontrovertibly Neanderthal” is a seven-minute romp through treacherous rock’n’roll mixed with hardcore and screamo. It’s a fantastic time that you can purchase in full February 12th on 12”!

Llewelyn released ‘Disposable Culture’ late last year on Tomb Tree and they recently released an official music video for the title track. Watch it above and jam/buy the EP below!

Tomb Tree will be dropping the Carrion Spring cassettes for ‘How It All Falls Away Petal By Petal’ tomorrow aka Wednesday January 17th at 9am PST / 11am CST /12pm EST. Above is the primary variant /60 reveal! Jam/download below :) Catch’em at ZBR Fest 2024!!!

Inosuke 12”s just came in, we’ll have pics shortly and start shipping later this week/next week. Bandcamp/Canada store orders will take an extra week whilst the US Store ships them to Canada. This Noise Is Ours gave them an excellent review that you can read by clicking on this text or the pic above. Jam/buy below!

Mathcore Index did their list of best stuff from 2023 and our Euclid C Finder (obviously) made the list, along with Closet Witch’s sensational return, Telos’ ‘Delude’ and the In Loving Memory EP ‘A Gentler Sun’. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full lists.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KNUMEARS = When this band releases a new album we’ll all lose our minds. So good! (pronounced “NUM-ears”)

2023 - 11 - 11 /// Llewelyn

November 11, 2023 by David Norman

Llewelyn’s ‘Disposable Culture’ released yesterday on Tomb Tree and we have a limited amount of tapes, including the bulk of the 20 swirled copies and all of the test dips. The band’s noise-rock is on the heavy side (there’s a lotta screamin’) and certainly dabbles in post-hardcore, packing all five songs with serious punch. Jam/buy below!

Othiel will follow Obroa-skai’s ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time’ 12”LP, with the latter releasing November 17th and the former December 1st. Jam the two singles above and below this text, fans of Crowning will be fucking stoked.

The Quietus lay down some nice words about Closet Witch’s ‘Chiaroscuro’. I think at this point if you listen to heavy music you’ve already been floored by this, but in the off chance you missed it here’s another opportunity to snag arguably the best release of 2024. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

The second Out Past the Rings for the Meditations In Affinity split 7” series is here! 100 copies lost! Alternate art! Ninjas! Etc. Watch above and/or listen below. Sold out!!!

Operation X-Ray had another banger of an episode playing Storm{o}, Llewelyn, and Obroa-skai!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HORSEWHIP = We released the stellar Horsewhip/Yashira split earlier this year and now the band has unleashed their brand new 12”LP and it blows the previous one out of the water. Some lineup changes have resulted in a seriously incredible record.

2023 - 11 - 08 /// Obroa-skai double premiere

November 08, 2023 by David Norman

Obroa-skai’s debut 12”LP ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time’ was announced two days ago alongside two song premieres via Brooklyn Vegan (article linked here) to overwhelmingly positive response. Today Idioteq.com followed up with a more in-depth article which you can read by clicking this text or the picture above.

Llewelyn’s ‘Disposable Culture’ EP releases this Friday on Tomb Tree. Fans of sassy, screamy, noisy, rock/hardcore will fuckin’ love this. All five tracks slay, especially the spooky “Dorian Gray”. Jam the title track below. Tapes go on sale at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and are on 50 purple/25 swirl, but we’ll only have about 20 of those copies!

Closet Witch continues to ride the momentum from such a sensational 12”LP, this time via Delay and Distortion (translate to English if need be). Definitely be sure to snatch what is arguably the best album of 2024 below. Click on the picture above or this text for the review.

Out Past the Rings continues to blaze through our entire discography, providing both information and idiocy to each release. After a very lengthy break the Tomb Tree Family Tree is back as Lowmeninyellowboats takes up both ZBR174 and TT003 spots! Watch it below and definitely check it out via our bandcamp linked here.

This Noise Is Ours did a rundown of that demo Respire tape that we released nearly half-a-decade ago. Copies long gone but jam the earliest Respire songs (which include a few that didn’t show up on LPs) below. Click on the picture above or this text to read the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VS SELF = January. That is all.

2023 - 10 - 15 /// Closet Witch variants + pre-order tomorrow!
