2023 - 04 - 05 /// Hetta premiere + Life's demo 3

April 05, 2023 by David Norman

Been a busy few days! Holy shit. The Vault is already shipping and Zaffle winners being contacted by the end of tonight via email about their shipping (a few have already been shipped off as well). Thanks for your patience as I navigate shipping 100 orders/winners whilst taking care of two small children. Everything will be out the door by Monday April 10th!

Life’s ‘Demo 3’ is upon us, with both stores having copies of this mammoth 12”LP. 180+ grams of orange deliciousness by way of very unique, epic, incredible, emo/screamo. Seriously, this 3rd demo has yet to be topped in our opinion, but ‘coma garden’ came pretty dang close. Full release of 250 orange 12”s on Friday April 7th (that’s Bandcamp Friday!) at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Promo pics coming tomorrow!

Brooklyn Vegan premiered a new Hetta song from their upcoming 4-way split cassette with Alas, Apostles Of Eris, and Letterbombs. Link embedded in pic above and via this text!

CanaDave did an Out Past the Rings for ZBR151 aka the Apostles Of Eris and Raining split cassette which Larry sold out of ages ago…but we still have’em! (listen to the split and/or grab tapes here)

Telos was reviewed on Heavy Blog Is Heavy. Tomb Tree still has tapes left and we’ve got a shipment of 10 ‘Delude’ 12”LPs on their way! Click on the pic above for the review or this text.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ENDLESS, NAMELESS = I discoverd this band recently and their new LP is out via Silent Pendulum Records, fans of The Fall Of Troy and Blood Brothers will love it!

2023 - 03 - 28 /// Life's Demo 3 on Friday!

March 28, 2023 by David Norman

Life’s groundbreaking ‘Demo 3’ was released back in 2020 but finally sees the light of day on beautiful orange 12”s this Friday! We’ve got the majority of the copies, and you’ll find more at Larry Records, Icorrupt Records, and Voice Of The Unheard Records. More info and proper promo pics coming soon!

Lucidity took off as we were hoping. It’s just so fucking good. We sold well over 50% in 24 hours (more like 75%) so don’t expect them to hang around much longer!

Alright so looks like Saturday April 1st and Sunday April 2nd will be the official two days that THE VAULT will be open for. It will end at 6pm PST on April 2nd when CanaDave will host the first and likely last ZBR Zaffle (that’s raffle with a Z and yes it does look stupid). THE VAULT will contain lots of long sold out ZBR stuff including super rare stuff that Dave was unnecessarily holding onto (including cassette test dips), while the raffle will include all of the golden items like test presses, handmade records, and wax mages. Raffle tickets go on sale tomorrow!!! Here are a few pics of some of the stuff…

Lucidity was posted about on Stereogum mere hours after it’s release. Probably 1) because it’s so sick and 2) because it’s so short, lol. Seriously though every song slaps and the records look incredible. Plus they’re limited to just 100! So many reasons. Click on the pic below or this text to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIS SUEÑOS SON DE TU ADIÓS = Enzo came out with another emo-violence collection of awesomeness. 3 new jams, all sick.

2021 - 12 - 25 /// A wee surprise

December 25, 2021 by David Norman

Well shit, it’s a little break before the storm hits December 27th and doesn’t let up until our 2-week vacation starting January 2nd, 2022. A quick recap and surprise for my few readers follows.

Campbell Trio ‘///’ cassettes are officially out in the wild and streaming/downloadable via our bandcamp page. Easily one of the best but also underrated albums of 2021, and is tied for CanaDave’s fave release of this year.

Ruhaeda art approved, cassettes will be ordered in January with a probable March/April release.

So what is actually releasing on December 27th? The final Meditations 4-way split 7” in the series of 5.

Next? A sick Tomb Tree Tapes release for an awesome Australian screamo band.

After? Zampler.

The following day? Ditch Organ on Tomb Tree.

And after that? Break. No shipping/no posts from January 3rd-16th.

What could possibly be next? The destruction! The humanity!

Oh right I promised a little surprise. Here it is.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LIFE = Yep, the already immortalized solo project just dropped a new EP of the heaviest shit they’ve done so far. Incredible.
