2022 - 03 - 29 /// 4-Way split tape and Le Blast stock!

March 29, 2022 by David Norman

First off in the news is the announcement of this killer split coming out on Tomb Tree featuring two new jams each from Demersal, Piet Onthel, Letterbombs, and Vientre on cassette!!! These tapes have been at the plant for a few weeks and we’ll push out another PremieRing for this via four blogs in mid-late April! Witch Elm Records will be doing a European version of the release as well. We recently released the Demersal 7”, Piet Onthel cassette full length, have Letterbombs stuff in the works as well as helped the two latter bands out via Tomb Tree. Piet Onthel has another 5-song EP releasing in early May on ZBR!!!

Tonight at 6pm PST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST we’ll post our Le Blast tapes in both stores. What’s in there? Besides a ton of obscure/rare screamo tapes beautifully packaged, but we’ll be posting the majority of the Yearning tapes! Numbered out of /30, these will fucking fly and sound incredible. And you know…they’re housed in a j-card and twine…pretty fucking screamo. Fuck.

Our Hundreds Of Au ‘A Briefing on the Human Condition’ 12”EPs have been flying and the entire run of 200 is well over half sold out, and we’re down to our last 25% of stock. If you’re in the EU Dog Knights recently got some copies so feel free to pick some up from them.

Don’t forget that you can catch Hundreds Of AU at Zegema Beach Records Fest Mid-West this summer in Chicago…here’s the facebook group for it!

sold out

HUNDREDS OF AU - A Briefing on the Human Condition (12")

CA$25.00

HUNDREDS OF AU ‘A Briefing on the Human Condition‘ 12"EP (ZBR295)

For fans of: Trainwreck, This Ship Will Sink, and Folly

The very prolific HUNDREDS OF AU released this stellar 5-song EP in late 2021 to much acclaim and now it’s arrived on 45rpm eco-mix 12”s out of 200! Co-released with Protagonist Music, the 12” vinyl contains a blazing-yet-controlled metallic hardcore/screamo fusion from members of You And I, Hell Mary, and The Assistant. Although the balance is obvious on all tracks, songs like “Objective Party” and “Afloat” really showcase an incredible ability to sustain melody and progression whilst retaining power and weight. Easily one of the best EPs of 2021.

12”EP /200 on eco-mix vinyl. Includes insert and sticker. 5 songs.

CANYONS - Stay Buried (12")

from CA$20.00

CANYONS ‘Stay Buried‘ 12"EP (ZBR287)

For fans of: Kowloon Walled City, Creeper, Nerver, and Deadguy

Originally released in August of 2020, this bad-ass 12” is finally seeing the light of day today, March 28th 2022 in all it’s gold-speckled glory. Falling somewhere between labelmates Nerver’s brand of dark noise rock, the gargantuan sound of Kowloon Walled City, and the urgency of The Chariot, there is a lot for a lot of people to like about this stellar full length. Co-released with The Ghost Is Clear Records, Forbidden Place Records, Reptilian Records, and Knife Hits Records.

12”EP /300 on gold speckled vinyl, 50 of which have hand-numbered/screened covers. Includes insert. 10 songs.
