We’ve got 3 left on Bandcamp, 2 in the Canada/International store, and a few in the U.S.A store. Larry is pretty much out already. Please remember that US Dave is outta town so no US store shipments will be going out until Aug 20th or so.

Hoari cassette tapes release tomorrow! We only made 37 of these because they almost go too hard. Absolutely devastating, techy, metallic hardcore in the vein of Coarse and Shora. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on August 12th. Check out a jam from the Zampler below!

Bok Suna’s “doghorn” music video came out last week! There’s another one already out for “honest person”, with no further singles planned before ‘Carnate’ releases in full on August 29th on Softseed Music. Scope it below!

Nuvolascura is on fucking fire. We’ve got 1 left in the U.S. store, 1 in the Canada/International store, and 2 on Bandcamp then we’re out of everything!

August 06, 2025 by David Norman

Usurp Synapse 2x12” for ‘Disinformation Fix’ with die-cut gatefold covers are at the plant with tests already approved. Holy fucking shit that’s exciting! Releases in October.

In an attempt to help pay for the cost I’ve got this Canadian/International store (also ships to the U.S.) on 50% off everything in the distro 12” tab and 25% off all distro 7”s (discount automatically applied within 24 hours of checkout). This goes until Friday at 9am PST when the Heaven Through Violence + Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave 7”s release.

Just a heads up, there is no shipping in the US for the next 2 weeks as U.S. Dave is on the road seeing his family. So the U.S. store is open just no shipping until after Aug 20th. Thanks for your understanding and patience regarding this matter.

Heaven Through Violence and Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave 7” finally release this Friday! We’ve only got 50 copies spread across Bandcamp, the U.S.A. store, and the Canada/International store, so if this is your jam don’t sleep on it!

2025 - 07 - 24 /// Piri Reis out, Distro update + restocks, Shoganai is next!

July 24, 2025 by David Norman

The distro and restock update that was scheduled for this morning got pushed back to tomorrow (Friday July 25th) as we just couldn’t get it all ready in time. So here’s a list of what’s coming so you can prep. In this Canada/International store everything will be located in the “New Items/Specials” section (linked here) while the U.S. store will have it all in the “All” tab (linked here). Some products will only be in one store (as in some cases we only have one copy) so be sure to skip between the two stores if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

12”s: Afraid, Malisa Bahat, Øjne (Prima Che Tutto Bruci + Undici/Dodici), Pianos Become The Teeth, Coven, As Living Arrows, Ostraca (Eventualities + Disaster), NØ Man, Cages, Neboas, Yarostan, Put Purana + Tromblon, Potence, Linguaserpente, Life (demo two), Telos, Sacrofuoco, Noverte, Altair, A Flower Kollapsed, and Uragano

7”s: Crowning + Swallows Nest and Demersal + Regarding Ambiguity

Cassettes: Luca, Threeway x Salvinorin A, Beneath Moonlight, and Gelwaz

CD: Ekbom

Piri Reis tapes for ‘Ritma’ came out and is already almost out, as we only took 30% of the run of 100 tapes. The 12”s never lasted so don’t expect these to be around for long, especially after they destroy New Friends Fest.
