Hallam Foe & Othiel + Palefade are next

September 13, 2024 by David Norman

With Split Silk out in full (embeded above) next on deck for Tomb Tree is the Othiel / Palefade. split that we churned out 40 copies of in two days. 3 variants, diy as all hell. Here they are! Releases September 20th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. CDs will follow, likely in November.

As for ZBR, another friendly reminder that we’ll have the Hallam Foe one-sided 12” lathe EP for ‘Funkapokalips’ on September 17th. 25 black / 25 clear. All ass-kicking.

Operation X-Ray played a song from every label CanaDave is associated with. Very cool! Split Silk, Bloom Dream, and Leavs were featured in this 146th episode <3

Right in time for CanaDave to lose his shit (he just got the Emma Goldman LP masters and is trying to cope with it’s amazingness), Edie from Everything Remade interviewed Felix (guitar/vox) from the band. You are not ready. Minds blown early 2025.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OTHIEL = Hit those new Othiel jams now cuz they are amazing.

2024 - 05 - 13 /// Widowdusk tape stragglers go up tomorrow!

May 13, 2024 by David Norman

Widowdusk tapes went up already and sold the fuck out, but we wanted to play it safe and kept back a few of each variant. So we’ll put those up for sale tomorrow May 14th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST for those who didn’t find out in time or just plain missed out. There were some comments about how we were sold out immediately but PLEASE remember that Bandcamp is not our primary store, we have about 75% of all stock in the US store, followed by 15% for the Canada/International store, and 10% for Bandcamp.

Click here for the full article/interview!

Niboowin’s ‘Giving In’ has been receiving high praise, and our bundles have almost bled us dry of their first output aka the ‘Breathing’ 12”LP. The recently band spoke with Moshpit Nation and gave the story of how they had to record some of the songs for ‘Giving In’ three fuckin’ times! Read it via pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Demersal had a great review from Rebel Noise! If you are itching for more Telos (that band broke up btw) then Demersal is the closest you’re gonna get, but holy smokes are they their own beast. Boasting lullaby post-rock to searing metallic hardcore, these 12 tracks have it all. Click on this text for the review. Buy/jam below.

Operation X-Ray covered our newest Niboowin and Demesal releases plus a ton more!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GIL CERRONE + LETTERBOMBS split = Woah this came outta nowhere and rocked my face! Thanks No Funeral <3

2024 - 04 - 16 /// Vow is out, Distro update + Crossed is next

April 16, 2024 by David Norman

Hey hey! Here’s a quick/updated weekly schedule for ya.

WEDNESDAY: Venus Twins news

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

FRIDAY: Crossed 12”EP releases / Distro update

SATURDAY: Entwife cd releases on Tomb Tree

Vow released today on Tomb Tree and it’s arguably the heaviest thing they’ve ever released, which is saying something cuz they released Orphaned! Wicked late 90s metallic hardcore meets 2000s metalcore with some death crossover. Stores are linked through the bandcamp below.

With such a stellar release, it only makes sense that people are giving the new self-titled .22LR reviews. Case in point (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))). Tapes didn’t sell out immediately but they’ve been moving steadily since the release as people are catching on that this is one of the best EPs of 2024. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review, jam/buy below.

Widowdusk was reviewed by the always truthful Borderline Fuckup who gave this release an “underappreciated” tag which we agree with. Sure it got some hype, but jamming through that thing is heavenly. Tapes are arriving this week so we will have a ZBR Fest exclusive variant and likely release right before the fest. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam/buy the digitals below.

Operation X-Ray slinging the good shit including Tomb Tree’s Lettingtheintrusivethoughtswin (which we’re almost sold out of, by the way) and a plethora of other heavenly jams.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HEAVENLY BLUE = Easily contender for album of the year. Ex-Youth Novel and hella homies <3 <3 <3

2024 - 03 - 29 /// Herlovebeheadsdaisies and Missouri Executive Order 44 added!

March 29, 2024 by David Norman

Fest update! Onelinedrawing and Burial Etiquette will be unable to make it this year (mad bummer), but fret not because we’ve added Herlovebheadsdaisies (Sunday) and Missouri Executive Order 44 (Saturday)!!! Click on that pic above to get some tickets!

Just a heads up, there will be no Demersal pre-orders for Tomb Tree/ZBR, just like Crossed, we’ll wait until the release and we have them in hand. Demersal is set for May 10th, 2024.

The next Tomb Tree release is the stellar new screamo band .22LR who contains members of Low Before The Breeze, Less Dead, and Jornada Del Meurto (to name just a few) with a new song premiering over at Idioteq.com. Full release is April 2nd!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

Lower Automation had that “Life Insurance” premiere at Ghost Cult Mag, with their new EP ‘Welcome To My Deathbed’ on May 20th, 2024. There’s more info in the post linked here by clicking on this text. Jam it below!

The first annual Screamo Awards goes live on the 30th of March! Interviews done by our very own CanaDave. Youtube link goes live when it says it does, but you can access the link below now so you can save it.
