Hallam Foe is the next ZBR release on September 17th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on just 50 12” lathes! 6 incredibly moshy, shrieky, and panic-chord ridden amazingness. Check out the title track below!!!

2024 - 04 - 12 /// Weekender

April 12, 2024 by David Norman

We were pretty dang busy this week so here’s a recap/look ahead at last week and next week.

MONDAY: 4-way split premiere (pictured above) happening at (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) around 12pm EST

TUESDAY: Vow EP releases on Tomb Tree

WEDNESDAY: Venus Twins news

THURSDAY: Venus Twins variants (probably helps you infer what news the day prior is)

FRIDAY: Crossed reminder

SATURDAY: Crossed 12”EP releases + Entwife cd releases on Tomb Tree

We released that Constrain split with Loose Teeth last year, and while that release put the Hamilton band on our radar, we quickly jumped at releasing their next endeavor. That endeavor is almost here, with tapes of the new EP already ordered and a music video for a new jam recently released. Check that fire below!!!

Lettingtheintrusivethoughtswin features Riley from Gxllium! and we sold most of our 27 copies first day. There’s a handful left in this store which I’ll embed below. Remember, Canadian pricing in this store is CHEAPER than the U.S. bandcamp prices!!!

sold out

LETTINGTHEINTRUSIVETHOUGHTSWIN - it's lonely out here in the woods... (cassette)

from CA$13.00

LETTINGTHEINTRUSIVETHOUGHTSWIN ‘it’s lonely out here in the woods…’ cassette (TT110)

For fans of: Serpent Column, Theophilos, and Sawtooth Grin.

Riley from Gxllium! started this project as a solo act, but has since added more members, so this rare cassette includes that first solo EP with an additional track on the b-side. Wild, untamed, and abrasive, this debut features nasty/dark vocals slathered over jarring, dissonant instrumentals. Think Serpent Column with more rock/screamo and less metal/black metal. Released on Tomb Tree.

Cassettes /27, 10 white swirl in metallic bag (1 is a gold bag, randomly switched out for a silver bag), 10 orange in pillow box, 5 orange swirl in manila envelope, and 2 test dips w/matching swirl case, all w/insert and download code. 4 songs.

Listen here:
https://tombtreetapes.bandcamp.com/album/its-lonely-out-here-in-the-woods

Variant:

white swirl in metallic bag (/10) orange in pillow box (/10) orange swirl in manila envelope (/5) test dip w/matching swirl case (/2)

Vow features Andy from Me, The Hideous Freak (among other things) doing the exact opposite and laying waste to the listener in their new band. Debut ‘Demo’ 4-song cassette EP releases on the 16th via Tomb Tree! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere, or just jam “Die Silent” below.

Gxllium! tapes are getting very low so the last few copies are up in this store and the U.S. store, with all Bandcamp copies already selling out.

GXLLIUM! - Gxllium 1 (tape)

from CA$15.00

GXLLIUM! ‘Gxllium 1‘ tape (ZB356)

For fans of: .gif from god, Hayworth, and Me And Him Call It Us

This Cali powerhouse’s debut album features 8 songs of pummeling, staggering hardcore/emo-violence/metal/grind that’ll have you disoriented and bleeding. Combining their cathartic, dark, and downright abrasive music with internet audio clips takes the unsettling nature of the band and amplifies it to a distorted level of comedic self-deprecation. This short run o’tapes will go quickly but fret not they’ll be at ZBR Fest 2024 to lay waste to Chicago. Cassettes on swirl or fuckin’ metal cases.

Cassettes /102: 42 VHS swirl, 35 atomic mass swirl, 20 green w/so fucking metal case, and 5 test dips w/matching cases, each with double-sided j-card. 8 songs.

Listen here:
https://zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/album/gxllium-1

Variant:

atomic mass swirl (/35) VHS swirl (/42) green w/so fucking metal case (/20) test dip w/matching swirl case (/5)

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: BECAUSEWECOULDNOTSTOPEVENFORDEATH = Great new Texan demo. Screamo/emo-violence. 4 tracks.

2023 - 08 - 04 /// Euclid C Finder! premiere + bandcamp merch

August 04, 2023 by David Norman

Euclid C Finder! just got their debut song/music video premiere over at Brooklyn Vegan. The cassettes have been ordered but we won’t post them until the actual release date :) Click on this text or the pic above to go to the premiere/watch the video!

12” pre-orders are up which you can snag from the band’s bandcamp here :)

With it being Bandcamp Friday we figured it was time to vomit merch onto the Tomb Tree page. Some of these are from CanaDave’s personal vault and are pretty rare/sold out so keep checking back here throughout the day for continued updates! You can also click on the pic above to go to the merch page.

mOrchid has been ordered. 40 ‘Gatefold’ 12”s arrive for a Wednesday August 9th drop at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Want an Olth? Oh, did they sell out? Don’t say we didn’t warn ya beforehand. We’ll order more alongside Larry though, so you’ll have another shot before 2023 concludes. Album of the year.

Youth Novel turned into Heavenly Blue so we’ve been on that boat for almost our entire existence. Amazing people and an incredible band. They’ve only got one song out in the world, and here is that song with both new vocalists. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HILLBORO = CanaDave’s Softseed Music is the label helping this incredible/young/artistic band from Vancouver Island called Hillsboro. More videos coming and 12” orders open next month on Softseed unless you want one from the band, linked here. It’s like The Strokes meet Motion City Soundtrack. So good!!!

2023 - 08 - 02 /// Olth 2.0

August 02, 2023 by David Norman

Olth is out on 12”! Considering how fast 150 tapes went you better believe these won’t last long!!! Buy links are ALWAYS on the bandcamp page at the bottom.

Satón just released their second single from 'A la espera del momento' titled "Mandíbula de cristal"! Tapes are in hand and ready for the Oct. 6th release on Tomb Tree. For fans of: Joliette, Naivete, Zvleta, and O.

The Loose Teeth + Constrain split cassette is out of stock in Canada, so it’s U.S. store only for everyone else who wants one! Linked via this text <3

Malevich absolutely ruined CanaDave at the 2019 fest so it was a no-brainer to bring those fine lads back. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CARA NEIR + TERRIFYING GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL = CanaDave helped coordinate this split when Garry asked him to find a sassy/screamy band for him to do a split with. Voila!

2023 - 07 - 31 /// Euclid C Finder, Constrain, & Loose Teeth

July 31, 2023 by David Norman

Following their kickass performance at ZBR Fest 2023, we’re stoked to announced we’ll be doing the tapes for the brand new Euclid C Finder! album ‘My Mirror, My Weapon, I Love You’ releases October 27th on Zegema Beach and on 12”s via Dark Trail Records. There will be a single/music video premiering August 4th!!!

The Loose Teeth + Constrain split cassette is now out in full! Tomb Tree probably should have made more than 33 copies lol so get on it! Features Thomas Erak of Fall Of Troy playin’ some guitar and singin’/screamin’…you can’t go wrong!!!

Dear Diary, This Is From My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self released yesterday with the Canadian store and Bandcamp selling out of all but two copies, so if you want more selection hit the US store. This 50-track cassette is limited to 60 copies and kicks some serious ass.

Olth 12”s in two days on August 2nd at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Zegema Beach and Larry Records. We’ll only have 30 of the 100, so definitely get in the store before drop cuz these won’t last the day.

In Loving Memory crushed us all with that sick new EP, which Stereogum picked up on and wrote a nice little article which you can check out by clicking on the picture above or this text.

You can check out a sick podcast that CanaDave did with Jen Wiley, one of the two vocalists of In Loving Memory. It’s a really good one with sick bands played and lots of laughter. Click on this text for the full post or just listen and enjoy using the bandcamp embedded player below.

Metal Storm reviewed a buncha sick EPs that have released recently and our buds in Horsewhip, Yashira, Crowning, and Eyelet were the subjects of the 7” love. Click on the picture above or this text to go there!

We love our Eyelet. So we had them play twice, once during the pre-show battle set and once on the last day of the fest. Just stellar in every fucking way. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WREATHE = Awesome new release by Alex CK and a buncha other sick musicians. Like Morrow but much shorter songs.
