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 - 05 - 15 /// Olth is coming

May 15, 2023 by David Norman

Olth releases on June 1st and you’re gonna lose your shit. Yep, just poopoo right in those pants. I foresmell the future. Music video for “screamO sucks” tomorrow on Brooklyn Vegan.

Zmar reminder! This stellar 12” gatefold features a member of Nulajednanulanula!!! Blackened screamo perfection <3

There was a massive distro update including things from The Vault (old ZBR stuff that was sold out), Le Blast, the new Nidare 12”LP, and more. It should also be noted that we’ve started putting some of our physical products on Bandcamp with a lot of success so you’ll find our stuff there in the future for new releases. I’ve posted a few of the ones I’d be drooling over below but everything else can be found under this tab.

Yuki (foreverwewillmissyou) is out and we’re down to our last 3 gold copies in this store, linked below. Tomb Tree has a line of ridiculous stuff coming out in the next few months so snag this before they sell out…cuz they will.

YUKI (foreverwewillmissyou) - Time doesn't heal all wounds pt.2 (cassette)

CA$12.50

YUKI (foreverwewillmissyou) ‘Time doesn’t heal all wounds pt.2’ cassette EP (TT097)

For fans of: People’s Temple Project, Pique, Raining, and A Paramount A Love Supreme.

An incredible, self-recorded, solo project from Portland named YUKI (foreverwewillmissyou) came to us with this EP and we were floored. With an obvious ear for melody and discordance, these five semi-lo-fi songs play off the juxtaposition of ugly and beauty. This limited to /20 release were all dubbed from CD to cassette at the ZBR house, a first-ever. Housed in either a pillow box or gold bag with numbered insert. Truly a testament to the love of screamo.

Tapes /20, 10 on swirl in a pillow box, 10 on opaque in gold bag, all w/numbered insert. 5 songs.

Mathcore Index’ Mathcast rained love down upon us along with Lucidity and the Yashira+Horsewhip split 7”. These podcasts rule and I always find out about new bands.

Edie from Middle Man Records and Coma Regalia needs your support to help their child with the costs of a liver transplant. Truly horrific circumstances that hopefully will be remedied soon. If you’d like you could also support them through Middle Man Records directly by purchasing music digitally/physically. We wish Bodhi the best! Click on this text or the pic to jump to the gofundme.

Screamo Index did a sick interview with Jeromes Dream right before their record dropped and they ruined us at ZBR Fest 2023. Check it out!!!

CanaDave’s Softseed Music label helped release this split between No Action and Amid The Old Wounds, so check out this new video showing the artwork process (kinda like the Nhomme music video!!!) and acts as a music video for the Amid The Old Wounds jam. Gorgeous!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NIDARE = Been eagerly anticipating our copies, find out why!

2023 - 02 - 05 /// Distro Update 2023.1

February 05, 2023 by David Norman

2023 - 02 - 03 /// Long.Way.Down. single

February 03, 2023 by David Norman

We put up the closer from Long.Way.Down.’s upcoming EP ‘until there’s nothing left’ because, quite frankly, we felt guilty sitting on such a ridiculous release. All six songs come out March 13th, 2023 on 75 tapes…which just arrived yesterday!

My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest also vomited a song all over Bandcamp today, another closing track, this one titled “forever” from the full length cassette ‘fragment’ due out this Monday on Tomb Tree!!! 37 tapes go live at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

The Yashira and Horsewhip split 7” recently got some love from the Lambgoat site! 7”s continue to move quickly. Click on the picture above or this text to go to the article. Maybe don’t read the comments lol

A friendly reminder that this Sunday February 5th, 2023 we will update the distro on both sites. The U.S. store (just search for vinyl and they will be at the top) will have a bunch of the Dingleberry/Shove distro that this Canada/International store mostly sold out of. A few remaining copies in this store are embedded below to give you a taste, but remember that most of these are down to a single copy, and when the US store has theirs go up they also only have one of most releases.

2023 - 02 - 02 /// New Day Rising arrival

February 02, 2023 by David Norman

New Day Rising hath arrived! All orders from the Canada/International store have gone out with the US copies likely being finished up by next weekend. A box of the red/black were definitely smacked in it’s initial transit so I’ve got a bunch of discounted copies with corner dings, and only one regular copy left! We won’t be getting any more and Moment Of Collapse is already sold out so it’s now or never.

Brooklyn Vegan noticed that awesomeness that is the Yashira + Horsewhip split 7” (both musically and artistically) so be sure to get an unhealthy dose of heaviness. We moved more than half of these in the first day! /250 on white marble with glossy covers and matching red innersleeves. Mmmmm baby.

This Sunday February 5th, 2023 we will update the distro on both sites. The U.S. store (just search for vinyl and they will be at the top) will have a bunch of the Dingleberry/Shove distro that this Canada/International store mostly sold out of. A few remaining copies in this store are embedded below to give you a taste, but remember that most of these are down to a single copy, and when the US store has theirs go up they also only have one of most releases.
