New Day Rising arrival

February 02, 2023 by David Norman

New Day Rising hath arrived! All orders from the Canada/International store have gone out with the US copies likely being finished up by next weekend. A box of the red/black were definitely smacked in it’s initial transit so I’ve got a bunch of discounted copies with corner dings, and only one regular copy left! We won’t be getting any more and Moment Of Collapse is already sold out so it’s now or never.

Brooklyn Vegan noticed that awesomeness that is the Yashira + Horsewhip split 7” (both musically and artistically) so be sure to get an unhealthy dose of heaviness. We moved more than half of these in the first day! /250 on white marble with glossy covers and matching red innersleeves. Mmmmm baby.

This Sunday February 5th, 2023 we will update the distro on both sites. The U.S. store (just search for vinyl and they will be at the top) will have a bunch of the Dingleberry/Shove distro that this Canada/International store mostly sold out of. A few remaining copies in this store are embedded below to give you a taste, but remember that most of these are down to a single copy, and when the US store has theirs go up they also only have one of most releases.

What’s that? No more golden tickets? Well good news, tisn’t true!!! In CanaDave’s most recent Out Past the Rings for Zampler #12 ‘Oh God, We’re Gonna Die’ cdr he unveiled that he’s parting with his personal copy, so all orders from THIS STORE now until the end of December are entered into a draw to win one of either four Zampler #12s or the coveted golden ticket zampler that gets you free access to all of ZBR Fest 2023 in Chicago!

A bunch of awesome people from all around the world sent us more screamo/skramz music videos so the Official Music Video playlist is now up to 233 songs!!! Here’s the link to the playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJiiPxtHp9sZYrtcIsBJlpsBfjy1X_eFG

New Day Rising should be in our hands next month (cross all fingers and toes please) and we still have some copies available. Incredible screamo/metallic hardcore from 1997 that could have been released yesterday and we’d all be droppin’ jaws.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DEATH CRASH = In the podcast with Adam they showed me this Ireland band’s 2022 endeavor and it sent chills up my spine. Really cool moody indie/atmospheric/art rock with heavier elements now and again.

OLD SOUL - Natures Arms Encircle All LP (ZBR018)

500 copies (+30 test presses), mixed marble, mixed opaque/translucent and some are just plain wacky 12" vinyl with wrap-around cover, 2-sided lyric/poster sheet and silkscreened inner sleeve. An absolutely stunning release both musically and artistically.

The 4-song LP that started it all. When ZBR first heard this back in 2012 we were instantly hooked. This band is doing things other bands only dream of. Dreamy, atmospheric and pulverizing screamo/black-metal from Michigan in the USA.
