2022 - 12 - 30 /// Zampler #20 'The Twawntiuth'

Zampler #20 - The Twawntiuth is here and ready to kick your ass. 26 songs, four of which are previously unreleased, make up this stellar collection of bands from around the world playing physically challenging/demanding music. This is the first of the digital zamplers so no cds will be made for this. If you’d like to support us just buy something from our stores or donate on our bandcamp page.

We’re about to start our 10-day break (usually 14 days but we’ve been pretty on it this last 6 months) so don’t expect any posts or updates until January 9th. We’ll still be shipping 2022 orders during that time in an effort to catch up 100%, but the New Day Rising 12”s are currently at a plant that is giving us zero communication so hopefully we get those early 2023 and can ship those orders. Also, we have tracking for the Reversal Of Man 3x12”s so we’ll have those end of January and everyone will have theirs in their hands come February.

Rolling Stone posted their Best Of 2022 lists and our friend Mr. Carp continues to listen to the good shit and sing their praises. In his list you’ll find the Cube 6-Way split and the Massa Nera full length. Click on this text or the pic to go to all of their lists.

RESPIRE - Gravity and Grace (12”LP) 

ZBR062
For fans of: Old Soul, Alaskan, Godspeed You! Black Emperoror, Neil On Impression and Fall Of Efrafa

Respire is a six-piece band from Toronto, Canada, who combine epic post-hardcore, screamo, and black metal into a very cohesive formula that drips of maturity and patience. Gravity and Grace is their debut LP - a sprawling memoir of genre-defying soundscapes, reverb-washed tremolo harmonies, cascading arpeggios, dreamlike textures and walls of distorted guitars roaring over frantic rhythms, punctuated by tormented vocals and a near-orchestral array of instruments and contributors. Themes of loss, addiction, heartbreak, and existential anguish paint a bleak picture, but somewhere over the horizon rests a glimmering sense of hope, resolve and forgiveness.

This is a co-release between Zegema Beach Records (Canada), Ozona Records (USA), Dingleberry Records (Germany) and Narshardaa Records (Germany).
