2023 - 09 - 13 /// Sleem today, surprise drop tomorrow

September 13, 2023 by David Norman

Tomorrow we’ve got a surprise, two-song, lathe 7” limited to 100 copies (we’ll only have 50 though, and the band will have the remainder) dropping at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. It’s an absolute banger and the band played ZBR Fest 2022, blowing us all away. End of hints.

Riversleem got a premiere of their opening track from the forthcoming ‘A Second Release by Riversleem’ that drops September 25th on red 7” vinyl /100 Zegema Beach and the band. Big thanks to Borderline Fuckup for the premiere. That site has been poppin’ off lately. Love the anniversary posts they’ve been up to. Click on any of this text or the pic above to jam that premiere!


CanaDave has been posting ZBR Fest videos on the label’s Youtube account the past few days. These are essentially the second of two videos that will be posted in the CanaDave wrapup of ZBR Fest 2023 on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blogspot in the next few days.


There was also this Massa Nera full set filmed by [hate5six] that is definitely worth the 28 minutes of your time. All variants of every format are either sold out or almost sold out, everything can be bought/is linked through this text via our bandcamp.


CanaDave did a very full circle Out Past the Rings for Carrion Spring’s 2019 self title cassette. There’s one copy left on bandcamp! (linked here)


There were a bunch of restock updates last week that included some ZBR releases and distro items. I’ve embedded the ones below that didn’t sell immediately. These generally are down to the last copies!

Fianl reminder!!!

Hey! If you have ever wanted to be a part of one of the grave, neighbors Halloween cover compilations that I do, this may be your last chance. To be honest each year it’s getting more and more difficult to get people to submit. Last year, some friends came through at the last minute and help me wrangle up some more songs, but this year it’s starting to look like i’ll have to do a bunch myself if I want to make a decent size compilation out of it. Anyway, if you have an unreleased recording of a cover song or would like to do one and can submit it by October 1, Let me know. I would love to continue doing this but if there’s no interest maybe I should just let it go.

2023 - 04 - 26 /// Carrion Spring falls :(

April 26, 2023 by David Norman

To those who know vocalist Adam in Carrion Spring this probably comes as little surprise, but the band has had to pull out of this year’s fest due to the health issues and the fact that the band was unable to practice for over a month. We are super sad but completely understand their circumstances and hope we can bring them to Chicago in the future <3 <3 <3

We’ve had some requests already to replace them, but as the day was actually overbooked this unfortunate circumstance has a silver lining where we now have the “correct” amount of bands. Thanks to anyone who inquired about playing, it’s an incredible reception this year. We are so fucking stoked.


Scenario is selling so fast we had to replenish the Canada/International store and it’s already back down to a single copy! Once they play ZBR Fest I fear all the labels and the band might sell out, they’re that good!!! Stereogum figured it out too, so click on this text or the pic above to go to their article.


Apostles Of Eris is set to play their first show in 7 fucking years, and the first as a full band. We’ll be performing “Pig Donovan” from this split that was just smeared across all platforms. A little late? You betcha!


You will be seeing a lot of tour posters from bands playing ZBR Fest popping up here in case you are in the path of destruction. This mini-Malevich tour will be sure to ruin your fucking life. Just some of the heaviest shit I’ve ever seen. Here they are blowing my mind at ZBR Fest 2019. Buy tickets here.


Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

Woah I have one Loftus handmade splatter. Get it before it’s gone. This release is one of the best things we will ever do, hands down.

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”

LOFTUS - Hugs and Drugs (12"LP)
from CA$20.00

LOFTUS ‘Hugs and Drugs‘ 12"LP (ZB289)

For fans of: SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Since By Man, and Wreck Of The Minotaur

Sometime in the mid-2000s David Norman came across the band LOFTUS and their immortal cd ‘Hugs and Drugs’. Hmmm… that isn’t really strong enough. David Norman became utterly obsessed with the California five-piece. And guess what? It never stopped, subsided, slowed, or even flickered. To this day the obsession continues on 500 stunning 12” records by Zegema Beach Records which release on Friday May 13th, 2022. Myspace madness, metallic hardcore style for fans of panic chords, breakdowns, and unrelenting screams. Released with variant matching inserts across 546 12”s by the absolute legends at Wax Mage / Gotta Groove:
211 Clear w/Orange Pigment Swirl
208 Bright Yellow w/Opaque Blue Splatter (handmade)
102 Black
25 Wax Mage
15 Test Presses

We also had 15 Loftus slipmats made, 10 with the logo and 5 radial.

There will be a super limited amount of zip-ups going up in June. Keep your eyes peeled.

2023 - 04 - 19 /// Taubenhund

April 19, 2023 by David Norman

Taubenhund is a German project led by Jochen Stephan which features vocalists from all over the world. The new ‘A Collection of Highly Unlikely Collaborations‘ cassette EP just released in full via Tomb Tree. Featuring vocals from Lypurá, Nistikko, Mustasuo, Warren of Ohms, Burial Etiquette, mei​ß​el, In Wolves' Clothing, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, and Letterbombs! Tapes are /65 but ZBR only has about 25 copies


CanaDave smashed out the 154th episode of Out Past the Rings for Rayleigh’s 2019 EP ‘Last Word’. Absolutely sensational stuff. No tapes remain! Listen to/download the tracks here.


Oh damn a new Operation X-Ray was posted early! Get on the screamo train featuring tracks by Hetta, Apostles Of Eris, and Dear Diary, This is From My Teenage Angst to My Adult Self.


You will be seeing a lot of tour posters from bands playing ZBR Fest popping up here in case you are in the path of destruction. Today’s poster is for the Rotting In Dirt tour, we released their 12” last year and sold out very quickly. Very excited to see them destroy us all live!


Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

Malevich just got a fresh press of tapes from another label and we just happen to be down to our final one, and it’s a swirly galaxy son of a gun. We’ve got a few 12”s in this listing too, but it’s the last tape!!!

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”
Euth 12”LP

Terry Green + Huge Cosmic split

MALEVICH - Our Hollow (cassette/12"LP)
from CA$6.00

MALEVICH - Our Hollow (cassetteLP) (ZBR169)

For fans of: Rorcal, Tentacles and Meth.

Crushing, devastating and haunting, the new LP by Georgia’s MALEVICH will fucking floor you. Dual guitars of death, tri-vocals, vicious drumming and mammoth bass. ‘Our Hollow’ is a twisting ride through bleak, discordant catharsis and broken stagnation. Malevich distort the boundaries between the aggressive and esoteric; angular guitars with pulsing blast beats pull the listener into moments of tortured reflection..

50 tapes, 10 on black and 40 on swirled marble w/j-card. 9 songs. Download code included.

Derek Allen from Lower Automation is officially getting into the mixing and mastering game. He’s been doing it with his own bands for years and if you’ve heard Lower Automation you know everything they’ve released sounds fucking awesome. Hit him up below!

2023 - 04 - 11 /// New Joliette!!!

April 12, 2023 by David Norman

In absolutely massive news, Joliette released the new single from their upcoming EP which Zegema Beach is releasing! Unparalleled experimental screamo from the Mexican masters. Jam the song over at Idioteq.com by clicking on the pic or this text. Full release later this summer!


Scenario teaser, full music video tomorrow on Brooklyn Vegan. New 12”LP releasing in full (digitally and physically) on Monday April 24th, 2023!!! Snag from Zegema Beach Records, The Ghost Is Clear Records, and Mishap Records.


Stereogum gave some love to the new 4-way split cassette that was released on Monday. Tapes are moving exceptionally fast, but that makes sense cuz we sold out of Alas and Hetta releases months ago. Go to the article by clicking on this text or the pic above.


Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

After a quick surge in Crowning purchases we’re now down to our last Crowning + Maree Noire split cassette. This won’t be made again (something else is planned muhahahaha) so snag this or forever hold your peace.

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”
Euth 12”LP

Terry Green + Huge Cosmic split
Subjects/Rulers tape

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette) CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)
Sold out
CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)
CA$7.50

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split cassetteEP (ZBR135)

for fans of: Youth Funeral, Itto, Loma Prieta, Kid Feral, Hundreds Of AU and Minaret.

This unbelievable split came about because the tour bands toured together in late 2017 in Canada, forging a tight bond that is now solidified on a small run of tapes. Both bands offer up three new jams, but alternate with each new track, making for a more cohesive listen that is more of a collaboration that a split. Chicago’s CROWNING continue to build a name for themselves, and with just reason, these songs are short, fiery blasts that are reminiscent of vocalist James’ old band Itto as well as Youth Funeral. Quebec’s MARÉE NOIRE drop three much more chaotic and aggressive tunes than their 2017 demo EP, falling somewhere between Kid Feral and Minaret.

150 copies on rubine red tapes with j-card and download code.

CanaDave banged out another Out Past the Rings for ZBR153 aka the Tröpical Ice Land and their latest album ‘D’. We’re long sold out but I think the other labels are still stocking plus the band definitely still has some on bandcamp! (listen to it here)

2023 - 04 - 09 /// 4-Way tomorrow + last chance for ZBR shirts

April 09, 2023 by David Norman

ZBR shirt pre-order closes tomorrow at 7am PST / 9am CST / 10am EST. You can get them shipped out or if you come to the fest we’ll just refund your shipping and bring them to you there. The U.S.A. store link can be accessed by clicking on this text! Remember we won’t have any more ZBR shirts for awhile…it took us 4 years to get here!

This absolute banger of a 4-way releases right after the shirt pre-order closes. Remember, if we see you have multiple outstanding orders we automatically try and refund you shipping once the combined order ships. You can jam one of three new Hetta songs below, and then there’s one Alas song, and two songs each from Apostles Of Eris and Letterbombs.


Life’s ‘demo three’ 12”LP was given an additional boost via Idioteq.com, feel free to click anywhere on this text or the pic above to go there.

Straight up, we didn’t sell nearly as many as were expecting (about half of our copies) but that being said Life is still moving steadily and like our Alas and Eyelet releases they will likely keep selling daily until they’re gone in just another month or two.


Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

There’s one last Endamori + Big Machine split cassette left, and considering it took us almost 9 years to sell 50 copies I don’t think we’ll be doing another run. Now or never!
