Tomb Tree Takeover

February 28, 2024 by David Norman

First things first, support if you can, even if it’s just sharing this link. This is a member of Olth’s sister. Wishing them the absolute best in their recovery. <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic below or this text to go to the Go Fund Me page.

So we’re flipping the script with this post, as Tomb Tree is apparently taking over, but first we’ve got the new Softseed Music release at the (almost) top with solo project extraordiniare Garry Brents. You might know him from oooooohhhhh I don’t know maybe Cara Neir? Gonemage? Homeskin? Sallow Moth? The list goes on. This is his first foray into electronic/break-beat music and it’s fucking glorious. Check that shit out and pick up a super limited tape /23 below from the label or bundle one with a ZBR/Tomb Tree order directly from this store via this link.

Mis sueños son de tu adiós released their limited cassette /31 on Tomb Tree yesterday. Super shrieky emo-violence from Argentina, featuring all 2022 and 2023 tracks with a bonus full b-side of live jams!!!

Colacon released their “Gails of Contempt” teaser earlier this week and it should entice many to check out the full video that releases on Friday with the full 12”LP following in early May. Their release show is also the ZBR Fest 2024 pre-show! Woot woot!!!

The first single from the self-titled Solvalou EP premiered recently on Idioteq.com and they had some wonderful things to say about “Our Home Breathes”. The rest of the debut comes out on March 5th, 2024 via Tomb Tree. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post.

Horseboy got some much deserved love from Machine Music. That EP is still jammed daily over here and was put on tape by none other than Tomb Tree. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and list of other releases that they enjoyed, and/or listen/buy below!

Tomb Tree’s Volp got some love from Score AV and somehow we have a handful of tapes left. If you like your hardcore metallic or your metal hardcore-ish…you’ll love this. For fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, etc. Click on the pic above or this text to read, jam/buy below.

Oh yeah this is Zegema Beach, isn’t it? We’re pretty fackin’ busy too, planning the fest and puttin’ in all those new releases (Niboowin, Terry Green, Burial Etiquette, Gossip, Widowdusk, etc.). But a friendly reminder that the Gxllium! x Onewaymirror split cd came and went in about 15 minutes, and you should definitely jam that shit. Then maybe you’ll be ready for the 7” drop later :) The release also made it onto Brooklyn Vegan’s New Songs Out Today section (and was used as the thumbnail) so you can check out that list by clicking on this text.

CanaDave spoke with Jason of Inosuke, Locktender, and Men As Trees. Lotsa Level Plane and Interpunk talk, holy 2007!!! Click on this text for the full post or listen to it above and jam/buy the Inosuke 12”LP below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VIVA BELGRADO = Oh shit there’s a new album! Yeeeessssss. Gorgeous Spanish post-hardcore/rock/screamo <3

2024 - 02 - 25 /// Gxllium! and Solvalou premiere

February 25, 2024 by David Norman

We had one helluva a distro update on Friday with all of our ‘Totality’ and ‘Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow’ selling out the first day. We have a limited number of ‘Chaos Is Me’ and ‘Gatefold’ still in stock, but remember that both updates we’ve had from these 12”s sold out quickly in the past, so I reckon they’ll be gone by March. The stores are linked below depending on where ya live, and I’d included a few embedded bangers under that.

Gxllium! had a song premiere on Friday via Operation X-Ray for a jam off their Onewaymirror split cd that releases tomorrow! We only have like 15 copies between our stores so this one will be gone so fucking fast. The premiere is about an hour and 24 minutes in, and Andre also played a sick jam from Horseboy as well as tons of others.

Mis Sueños Son De Tu Adios’ ‘2022-2023 collection + live’ cassette releases this Tuesday February 27th! Super small run of 31 over primary, secondary, and test variants. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! We released their split with Burial Etiquette back in January of 2023 and they are long sold out.

Solvalou’s debut EP releases March 5th on Tomb Tree but Idioteq.com will be hosting the lone single premiere tomorrow. Check out the teaser/trailer below! Features a member of Riotnine and ex-member of Malevich and Under A Sky So Blue!!!

For those who have made it down this far, if you have been scoping the VS Self tapes (only halfsies swirl are left), Othiel, Obroa-skai, or Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow then you should pick one up asap as they are all almost sold out!!!

OTHIEL - We Will Be Our Home (12")

CA$27.00

OTHIEL ‘We Will Be Our Home‘ 12”LP (ZB329)

For fans of: Crowning, Caution Children, Eyelet, Gillian Carter, and Old Soul.

Pomona, California screamo band OTHIEL have been building momentum for more than five years, so the release of this debut 12”LP ‘We Will Be Our Home’ is a very big deal. Good news, it’s fucking amazing. 9 tracks of A+, drop-c skramz balancing gorgeous swings with abrasive/pummeling screaming and chugs in the vein of Crowning, Eyelet, and Gillian Carter. We made 200 copies but only have half of the copies, with the band taking the rest.

12”s /200 black. Includes one-sided insert and ZBR sticker. 9 tracks.

OBROA-SKAI - Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time (12")

CA$32.50

OBROA-SKAI ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time‘ 12”LP (ZB328)

For fans of: Svffer, Full Of Hell, and Rayleigh.

A visceral immersion in noise, hardcore, screamo, and who knows what other genres are mashed into the audio carnage that is OBROA-SKAI. After gaining a second guitarist the band incubated for years, sharpening the knife that is now set to find its way into your eardrums. The resulting 11 tracks weave a treacherous path that touch on political and social issues, incorporating more noise/mathematical wizardry and stellar production, thus encapsulating the band perfectly. This documentation can be purchased on eco-mix (green/blue) 12”s out of 100 from Zegema Beach Records.

12”s /100 eco-mix. Includes two-sided insert and ZBR sticker. 11 tracks.

The Ninehertz Podcast started their new episode off of Edhochuli’s new 12”LP ‘Higherlander’. Check that shit out and pick up a 12” and see them at ZBR Fest 2024. So much goodness.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HAUZU = This new band released a truly incredible debut EP that you gotta scope. SO good <3

2024 - 02 - 20 /// Widowdusk 12"LP, Orchid this week

February 20, 2024 by David Norman

Widowdusk releases digitally March 18th, tapes will follow (definitely before ZBR Fest) and then 12”s (probably soon after ZBR Fest). This thing is by far the best thing they’ve done. Much heavier. Much techier. Much awesomer. English is my powerful tux, what can I say.

Oh yeah, absolutely fucking massive distro update on Thursday. Orchid, Moment Of Collapse, Shove Records and even a couple Blind Girls 3rd presses from No Funeral.

Horseboy is out. It runs wild. There is no taming instinctual amazingness. Try to lasso yourself a copy before they’re gone and runnin’ free.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got a hefty/sick write-up from Everything Is Noise. We are very low on these and will undoubtedly sell out this year, most likely before ZBR Fest and possibly even next month. A birdie perched behind a kit in Michigan told me more stuff is coming. Click on this pic above or this text to read the full review, and/or jam/buy below!

This Noise Is Ours gave our sold out Crowning + Maree Noise split a nice review in their lengthy ZBR Roster Review series. I think the only thing we have left in stock by Crowning is a couple of Survival/Sickness tapes in this store. Click on the pic above or this text to read the review, jam below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LETTINGTHEINTRUSIVETHOUGHTSWIN = Holy fuck, this debut EP from Riley of Gxllium! is fucking fantastic!! TJ McScoperson the III (jr.)!!!

2024 - 02 - 17 /// Horseboy is next, Orchid distro imminent

February 17, 2024 by David Norman

Just some weekend updates and unrevealed info :)

1) Horseboy tapes release on Tomb Tree this Monday February 19th. (pictured above)

2) Distro update next week includes all Orchid, Shove Records, and Moment Of Collapse releases.

3) Some upcoming podcasts on OMSB: Gxllium!, Solvalou, Edhochuli, Inosuke, and the Daves’ Best Of 2023.

4) Edhochuli was released last week and rules, jam/buy it below!

5) Gxllium! + Onewaymirror split cd releases in full February 26th! Jam those tunes under Edhochuli.

Shit’s been selling out like mad recently. Blind Girls? All gone. Massa Nera? Bye bye. Dollores? Zero. Crowning/Swallows Nest split? Gone forever. Yashira/Horsewhip split? No no no, they’re all out. A friendly reminder to pick up stuff you love before it’s gone. Things we’re almost out of: New Forms, Obroa-skai, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Alas/Hetta/Apostes/Letterbombs split, Thank You Driver, Vibora, Tropical Iceland, etc.

CanaDave spoke with Hanoi Traffic in late January and posted the podcast yesterday as the Australian band’s EP ‘towards an end’ just came out! Killer episode that also includes a Garry Brents premiere of his brand new project…Garry Brents! Check it out by clicking on this link, the picture above, or just listen/download it below :)

Operation X-Ray played heaps of bangers yet again. Check that shit out!!!

A friendly reminder to pick up tickets for ZBR Fest 2024 Day 1 and Day 2 as well as separate tickets for the pre-show. Everything is linked through www.zbrfest.com which you can access directly by clicking on this text.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ETHEL CAIN = This incredible artist just released a new 10-minute song that they wrote following the super bowl massacre.

2024 - 02 - 02 /// Tristan Tzara releases, Volp next, Telos on sale :(

February 02, 2024 by David Norman

Tristan Tzara’s ‘discography’ released two days ago with the mages and tacos immediately selling out, with the random color following (as we currently have 4 left), with black dwindling after that and a handful of metallic reds that should be in stock at least until summer. So if you’re picky I wouldn’t wait, but if metallic red is your game there’s no massive rush <3 Remember European friends can order from Dog Knights and Voice Of The Unheard. Shove Records in Italy will also get at least 10 copies in the near future.

Telos released an truly incredible album…then they broke up. Absolutely gutted. We’ve put the tapes on sale for the next week in case you want to pick one up, as we won’t be making more!

TELOS - Delude (cassette)

from CA$12.50

TELOS ‘Delude’ cassette LP (TT079)

For fans of: Hexis, Rotting In Dirt, Malevich, and I Am A Curse.

Denmark’s finest blackened hardcore/metal supergroup have released their finest work to date, as this LP is absolutely sensational. Simultaneously epic, destructive, and forward-thinking, these 8 tracks span more than most bands in any of the aforementioned genres. Definitely in line for one of the best of 2023.

Tapes /36, 20 on grey swirl, 10 on broken gold swirl, 3 on grey, and 3 test dips, all w/jcard. 8 songs.
