2023 - 08 - 20 /// Orbit Cinta Benjamin + Flirt full stream
I just updated this store to reflect the last copies of the Widowdusk + Ihuntmonsters split…I even found two extra test dips!!!
WIDOWDUSK + IHUNTMONSTERS ‘Split’ cassette EP (TT100)
For fans of: Funeral Diner, Montcalm, 2 O’Clock Girlfriend, and The Great Redneck Hope.
Our 100th release is a celebration of this window into the future of screamo. Not even 19 years old, WIDOWDUSK hail from California and have been gathering a bunch of hype along the way. This the band’s pre-LP material and marks a shift into darker/screamier territory. IHUNTMONSTERS is a solo project from In Case Of Capture. This collection of songs are ridiculously heavy and concise, bringing to mind false grind meets emo-violence and panic chords. So fucking good. And the tapes? Perhaps the most beautiful we’ve ever done. On two variants, Tomb/Tree. Alternate art (the blue-ish one) by Kyle Calvert Design.
Tapes /102, 70 on Tomb swirl, 25 on Tree swirl and 7 test dips, all w/double-sided jcard. 5 songs.

BLUE YOUTH - Dead Forever 12"LP (ZBR123)
For fans of: Life In Vacuum, The Holy Shroud and METZ.
I don't even know what to say. I love this record so goddamned much it's stupid. 8 songs of sassy, jarring, melodic and screamy rock music that'll have fans of METZ and Life In Vacuum sweating. Probably my top pick for best album of 2018. No, I’m not shitting you.
12" black vinyl with insert /300.

Operation X-Ray gave ZBR a sexy nod this past episode with three of our releases making the final cut, including Hetta, Scenario, and Congratulations.
We are very picky about bands playing two years in a row, but with Gillian Carter it’s a no-brainer. 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! And next one is the last one!!!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COPSE = Atmospheric black metal OR blackened screamo. Take your pick. It’s awesome, so is the previous EP.
