Othiel’s ‘We Will Be Our Home’ released on Friday and has been getting hella love both through social media and our stores. We moved well over half of our copies over the weekend with the Canada/International store selling out and having to restock. Buy links are in the bandcamp link below. Easily an AOTY contender by some most excellent people (OMSB + Othiel podcast linked here).

Carrion Spring’s newest release will see the light of day on cassette via Tomb Tree! We’re just waiting on final art to send to the duplication plant, so I reckon we’ll have copies up for sale in January. It releases this week digitally in full but you can jam a song now!

2023 - 11 - 30 /// Othiel tomorrow!!!

Othiel 12”s for ‘'We Will Be Our Home’ full length releases tomorrow both digitally and physically! This thing is absolutely fantastic, and with us doing 200 copies but the band taking about 100…we really don’t have that many considering 1) how awesome this band is and 2) their heavy underground following might make this sell out quicker than anyone is suspecting. It’s also Bandcamp Friday tomorrow, so any extra help in any capacity is appreciated, and that includes sharing <3

CLOSET WITCH - Chiaroscuro (12")

CA$23.00

CLOSET WITCH ‘Chiaroscuro‘ 12”LP (ZB324)

For fans of: Fluoride, Cloud Rat, (early) Oathbreaker, Malevich, and Tentacles.

Five long years after their last full length album, Iowa’s Closet Witch are back with 13 liquefying tracks known collectively as ‘Chiaroscuro’. Following a health scare, the four-piece return with their most visceral and simultaneously most epic. Songs like “Constantly Problematic“ and “We Met On the Park Boundary Trail“ are pure carnage, while “You, Me and My Venus In Decay“ and “To the Cauldron“ employ massive, imposing, and deliberate destruction. An absolute tour-de-force and truly impressive return by some most excellent humans. Pictured below are the ZBR variants. European release by Moment Of Collapse and Circus Of The Macabre. Tapes by Sassbolgna Records.

ZBR 12”s /500: 250 on purple+black smoke w/red splatter and 250 on red/white merge. Includes two-sided lyric insert, and ZBR sticker. 13 tracks.

This Noise Is Ours continued their ZBR Roster Review with the second Komusō EP on 7". Truly one of our favourite EPs and one of the releases we lost the most money one cuz our first run was lost in the mail - completely out of pocket for us. :( We got a few 2nd run 7"s still in stock, but not many!!!
