2023 - 05 - 15 /// Olth is coming
Olth releases on June 1st and you’re gonna lose your shit. Yep, just poopoo right in those pants. I foresmell the future. Music video for “screamO sucks” tomorrow on Brooklyn Vegan.
Zmar reminder! This stellar 12” gatefold features a member of Nulajednanulanula!!! Blackened screamo perfection <3
There was a massive distro update including things from The Vault (old ZBR stuff that was sold out), Le Blast, the new Nidare 12”LP, and more. It should also be noted that we’ve started putting some of our physical products on Bandcamp with a lot of success so you’ll find our stuff there in the future for new releases. I’ve posted a few of the ones I’d be drooling over below but everything else can be found under this tab.

Mathy metalcore straight from the womb of Norma Jean.

All pre-orders from ZBR come with a free COARSE sticker and Zegema Beach Records sticker.

Yuki (foreverwewillmissyou) is out and we’re down to our last 3 gold copies in this store, linked below. Tomb Tree has a line of ridiculous stuff coming out in the next few months so snag this before they sell out…cuz they will.
YUKI (foreverwewillmissyou) ‘Time doesn’t heal all wounds pt.2’ cassette EP (TT097)
For fans of: People’s Temple Project, Pique, Raining, and A Paramount A Love Supreme.
An incredible, self-recorded, solo project from Portland named YUKI (foreverwewillmissyou) came to us with this EP and we were floored. With an obvious ear for melody and discordance, these five semi-lo-fi songs play off the juxtaposition of ugly and beauty. This limited to /20 release were all dubbed from CD to cassette at the ZBR house, a first-ever. Housed in either a pillow box or gold bag with numbered insert. Truly a testament to the love of screamo.
Tapes /20, 10 on swirl in a pillow box, 10 on opaque in gold bag, all w/numbered insert. 5 songs.

Mathcore Index’ Mathcast rained love down upon us along with Lucidity and the Yashira+Horsewhip split 7”. These podcasts rule and I always find out about new bands.
Screamo Index did a sick interview with Jeromes Dream right before their record dropped and they ruined us at ZBR Fest 2023. Check it out!!!
CanaDave’s Softseed Music label helped release this split between No Action and Amid The Old Wounds, so check out this new video showing the artwork process (kinda like the Nhomme music video!!!) and acts as a music video for the Amid The Old Wounds jam. Gorgeous!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NIDARE = Been eagerly anticipating our copies, find out why!
