October 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is officially …Of Death day! The governments approve! No school! All places of businesses will be closed! Mark in the calendar every year! Too much? Sorry. Seriously stoked on this massive 30-track release from the Fort Worth, Texas band who released from 2000-2003 in the Jeromes Dream, Saetia, Spirit Of Versailles vein. That D-side etching is awesome and shows up on both C/D variants of ghostly/166 and blobbly/168. Co-released with Cliff Parade Records and Law Of Cycles, the latter of which we’ll be selling through our store.

Soul Crusher has a debut EP coming out on Softseed Music on October 19th! Who is behind Soul Crusher? Why it’s Sasha from Life In Vacuum, Kiken, and Congratulations! There was a music video premiered a week or two back (embedded below) and there’s another song premiere dropping before the release, but I figured it’s probably time to show off that primary variant! Opaque red swirl! Woot woot!!!

A friendly reminder that we did the double To Be Gentle cassette drop on Friday and you can get ‘Unbroken’ now and pre-order ‘it always hurts and one day it will win’. Just click on this text to head over to the Tomb Tree bandcamp page where you can link to either ZBR store.

Hiding In The Outpost resumes as since the last post I’ve sold out of at least three ZBR titles. Jump on that People’s Temple Project/Sleeper Wave split 12” because I got restocks from Dingleberry but now I’m down to my last copy of that!

now sold out:
Blind Girls ‘Residue’ / Blind Girls ‘The Weight of Everything’ (tapes still available for both!)
Rotting In Dirt 12”
Lower Automation 12”/tapes

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split (12"LP)

CA$20.00

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split 12" (ZBR134)

For fans of: Funeral Diner, Snag, Kidcrash and Off Minor.

A split years in the making finally sees the light of day, with two incredible U.S. screamo bands offering up a total of 30 minutes of chill emo all the way to explosive, cathartic, dual vocal screamo. PTP has been releasing for years now and their 7 songs come in as their most mature, atmospheric and epic of all of their material thus far. SW drops 3 new tunes, with two of them being five-minutes plus in length and coming across as even heavier than their earlier Kidcrash/Off Minor jazz/screamo worship. ONLY 1 COPY IN STOCK, ACQUIRED FROM DINGLEBERRY!!!

12” black vinyl/300. 7 songs by PTP and 3 by SW. Download code included.

A friendly reminder that the ‘RAXIS’ cassette full length is an absolutely stellar album and we still have a few final copies in the Canada/International store. Copies will be arriving in the U.S. later this month and will be included in our next massive distro update.

Operation X-Ray played so many songs from our bands it was a brain-slap. Blue Youth, Venus Twins, Virgin Mother, Works, Fiesta Bizarra, Colacon, and To Be Gentle!

Looking for more Massa Nera? Look, we totally get it. So here’s an Everything Remade with Edie of Middle Man Records and Coma Regalia featuring Chris Rodriguez (guitar/vox) of Massa Nera!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOMN = There were some very brief discussions about ZBR releasing the upcoming Somn album and it looks like said record either became a split OR here’s a split and the album is coming later. That first track is absolute fire!

It’s almost time for the 2x12” ‘…discography’ by ….Of Death with D-side etching. It’s /300 copies and 150 of them are yellow/red merge disc 1 and ghostly red w/etching for disc 2, with this second variant having the same disc 1, but a black blob on red as disc 2. We’ll have a full digital release complete with 2x12” orders opening at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. This is a co-release with Cliff Parade and Law Of Cycles, with each label taking 100 copies. Levi of Cliff Parade Records had this to say about it:

“ I found …Of Death on a Alone Records sampler in 2003. Immediately I was struck by the “girl scout being murdered” screams similar to the bird like scream of early Jeromes Dream. These vocals accompany the blasts and riffs that make this Texas band one of the screamo goats. The idea that all of their work is now on two sexy vinyl makes my screamo heart so warm. “

To Be Gentle recently released ‘Unbroken’ and is gearing up to release ‘it always hurts and one day it will win‘ this Friday October 7th. Tomb Tree is taking care of tapes for both releases, with the former already being complete and the latter still at the plant. You can click on this text to hear a new jam from the upcoming album as well as peruse the variant options for ‘Unbroken’. Both physical copies release October 7th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST along with a bunch of other Tomb Tree stuff. What stuff? Let’s take a looksie!

Colacon also releases via Tomb Tree and also releases this Friday! 11 tracks of face-melting metallic hardcore/mathcore/metal from two rad dudes in Georgia. Check out that new music video below! We’ll release the final variant pic tomorrow!

Virgin Mother’s debut 12”LP goes up for pre-order this Friday! The vinyl is /100 and will shipped before the release date of October 14th! There’s a pretty high probability that between us and the band touring a few days after the release that we’ll sell out so don’t sleep on this incredible vision manifested as a full length.

That’s a lot of Tomb Tree stuff. What’s 2022 looking like for ZBR? Before the year is out we’ll have Thank You Driver releasing on cassette in early November, the new Lower Automation 12”LP on November 22nd, and the Massa Nera cd/tape/12”LP on December 2nd. Those three releases cover a ton of genres and all absolutely slay. There is but one song out for all three releases combined, so check out Lower Automation’s “The 99” from the most recent Zampler.

Fiesta Bizarra has a new EP releasing on October 31st via Softseed Music but you can nab a tape now that will ship immediately! Yes, exactly one-second after ordering. Seems possible. Anyhoos, this 4-track romp through mathy, poppy, multi-vocal emo/rock from Peru kicks major ass and even has some hints of the six-piece’s screamo roots! Peruvian pre-orders are open until Friday October 7th at 11:59pm but are available to the public now also.

Out Past the Rings #124 is COARSE history for Botch-lovers. 7”s for ‘I’ now on sale for much less than cost! Please check that sick EP out!!!

Operation X-Ray premiered recently despite our main man Andre being without power or water for a full week. A beautiful, wonderful, positive, stinky boy he truly is <3 Bands played on this podcast: Works, Venus Twins, Colacon, and …Of Death.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: +CAREGIVER+ = This new release is very cool and worth checking out. 5 tracks of mesmerizing metal/hardcore in nearly 20 minutes. Excellent EP!
