Here’s a little update on the next 7 days of ZBR and Tomb Tree:

Big Stuff Thing now! Tests, stuff that was previously sold out, and sale items are available in the U.S.A. store here and Canada/International here. These products/headings will disappear in just under 24 hours at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Tuesday June 10th, so act now or miss out, your call!

Stuntman‘s first full length in a decade comes out this Thursday on Tomb Tree. We made 37 cassettes with a massive j-card filled with lyrics, with all variants coming swirled. Full release at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on June 12th.

Othiel cds are gonna sell out so snag one immediately. Heavy Blog Is Heavy knows! They gave the band a heavy nod in their Rotten To The Core article which you can access by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Exclaim put Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ 12”LP cracked the Top 25 of 2025 so far (actually, they broke into the top 10!). We’ve got like 2 “blob” copies left on bandcamp and this Canada store then they’re gone and only “red” remains, which are already more than half sold out as well! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full list. Jam/buy below!

I Promised The World was the most recent subject of the ZBR Roster Review series by This Noise Is Ours. The last few copies we had held back were sold immediately yesterday when the Big Stuff Thing went live. I don’t expect a repress anytime soon and this was the last release under the name Sinema. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam the EP below!

Here’s the other video of Blue Youth’s live set from a recent show. Jon (bass) will be the next on the OMSB Podcast which goes up this week! 12”LP records still available from ourselves and The Ghost Is Clear Records.

Operation X-Ray played some fuckin’ jams on Friday including new Nuvolascura, a Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave track (who are now on tour), and Carrion Spring’s premiere.

Mau got more love, this time from the always reliable Everything Is Noise and their Weekly Featured Artist. We had a few extra 10”s but I think they all sold quickly in the 6th Big Stuff Thing we are currently holding. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review and/or jam it below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FOR YOUR HEALTH = New album and another new music video from some friends <3

2025 - 06 - 02 /// Heaven Through Violence + Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave!

June 02, 2025 by David Norman

The surprise Heaven Through Violence + Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave split came out digitally last night at midnight! These two newer bands have big followings already and this collection of four new songs will just amplify that. Two newbies from each band, we’ll have opaque yellow 7” (label copies) and transparent yellow 7” (band copies) vinyl of this late June/early July alongside Larry Records, Severed Records, and Gallowdance.

Rocking blog posted a great review (english translation needed for most) for the new Emma Goldman album ‘all you are is we’. We are now down to 5 blob copies, with red dwindling down that will no way make it to the end of 2025 before selling out. Just a friendly reminder! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review

Lastima got an absolutely wicked plug from Hate5Six in their Concert Film format. Watch it and after needing a copy snag one immediately from our bandcamp or this Canada/International store as the US shop already sold out. We have about 4 copies left.

Operation X-Ray went hard this past week, including tracks from Fallingwithscissors, Mourn Recif, Usurp Synapse, Missouri Executive Order 44, Waunband, and Othiel!

There were some cool videos of Blue Youth uploaded recently. Check out part 1 of 2 above. Jam/buy the album below. Blue Youth forever!!!

Sutras got some nice words from Darkenin Heart, and even provided an interview which you can read by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy their ‘Crisis of Existence’ below via Tomb Tree.

The ‘Disappearing Mouths’ split by Social Caterpillar and Waunband got some love (the latter, specifically) on the newest Chin Music episode. Check it out by clicking on this text. Jam/buy the album below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KRISTEVA = Shiiiiit got more bands from Richmond, Virginia reminding us that it was screamo of the capital of the world for a reason!

2025 - 05 - 26 /// Othiel + andthecanaryfell. released!

May 26, 2025 by David Norman

Othiel’s new album ‘World’s Fastest Car’ is officially out on cd! The physicals arrive at our US store on Wednesday and we’ll start shipping them out then. This new release includes re-recorded versions of their Palefade. split as well as five brand new jams of epic, devastating, and gorgeous screamo/post-hardcore. We only made 200 and shot some to the band for their upcoming tour with Knumears.

Ooo baby it’s double release day, as Tomb Tree just dropped the new andthecanaryfell. EP on cassette titled ‘As The Ice Melts’ and it’s a fucking nightmare collection of five songs that will test your brain’s resolve. Featuring members of Fallingwithscissors, this band creates a lush and crushing atmosphere not unlike Meth. and Detach The Islands. Clear /45, swirl /30, and test dips /6. Snag’em now!

Everything Remade had Victoria (vocals) of Emma Goldman on and it’s a great listen! Also we are down to just 10 copies of blob variant between ZBR Canada (ships worldwide though/linked here) and our bandcamp (embedded below). US store is sold out!

Dagerman got some love from Eklektik Rock. This Italian band’s debut release is fucking exceptional, and fans of Raein, Vibora, La Quiete, and Ojne will get a kick out of it. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full review. Jam/buy below!

The Crowning x Oaktails split 12” came out on Friday via ZBR and Larry so snag a copy now before we sell out. We ALWAYS sell out of Crowning stuff pretty quickly and the band has a few shows with in mid-June where they will shed all of their copies.

Oh shit there’s a Lastima article we forgot to mention, probably because our label wasn’t mentioned so we didn’t see it. We did the 12” LPs though and they’re running low! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the article and jam/buy below!

Mango Wave Magazine reviewed Sutras, giving it 8/10 mangoes. Tapes still remain, snag a copy and get positive, baby! Click on this text or the pic above to see the full review.

Prism Reviews propped up Avery Friedman’s debut album that was released on CanaDave’s other label Softseed Music. This stellar album is available for pre-order on 12” in the Bandcamp embed below. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Click here for the full list of reviews!

Blue Youth were given a hefty nod by the legendary Heavy Blog Is Heavy for their new album ‘Defeatist’. Snag a 12” from ourselves or The Ghost Is Clear Records.

Operation X-Ray played Othiel, andthecanaryfell., and Lastima! The first two were premieres btw, so be sure to check that show weekly as we premiere a lotta shit there <3

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VALATIA = Oh shit this album is amazing. Both jarring and beautiful, if you like Aspartame, Burial Etiquette, or Clay Birds but want it a tad heavier you need to scope this immediately.

2025 - 05 - 13 /// Clay Birds out, Mau next

May 13, 2025 by David Norman

Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ is tearing shit up, as well as already nearly selling out of the 1st of two variants, Anthony Fantano did a review video on The Needle Drop which is fucking huge to have someone that big pick up on an underground screamo record. Watch above, listen/buy below!

Clay Birds released last week and like 95% of copies are sold out. I think there are 5 copies left in the U.S. store but everything else is gonezo. Absolutely amazing release, wicked people, and sick as fuck live.

Máu 10”s for ‘Anthesis’ will release this Thursday! I snapped a few promo pics of this as the b-side is etched and the entire package just looks hella cool. And the music…my god the music! Incredible stuff from these Cali homies. We’ll have 50 copies of the 300, with the rest being with the band. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.
