Sutras got their second (of three) song premieres via Everything Is Noise for “Karma to Burn”. Their new six-song EP ‘The Crisis of Existence’ releases in full on April 16th!!! Part Modern Life Is War, part Touche Amore, and part Envy, this thing is powerful in a peaceful sense. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere.

This epic Emma Goldman show is going down tomorrow and CanaDave will be there slingin’ records, including the one and only test press available to the public. Got $50? It’s yours. Also, Mourn Recif is playing and we’re closing with our brand new jam and it goes harder than anything we’ve ever played.

Lord Wrought’s ‘Mortis’ EP releases on Tomb Tree this Tuesday April 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on a small run of 54 gorgeous cassettes. This Vancouver-based hardcore/grind/metalcore/screamo crossover blew me away live so picking up the pressing from Yetzer Hara Records who has moved into a specific straight-edge hardcore pocket after a brief hiatus.

Dead Hour Noise got the This Noise Is Ours treatment in a wicked track-by-track review post. We expect these 12”s in sometime this month so we’ll be posting promos as soon as we have’em, but pre-orders are up now if you can’t wait! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: BOON = Incredible new stuff from Toronto that I heard only because a member shot it over. Wicked!!!

2025 - 03 - 06 /// Dead Hour Noise + Febuary round 3

March 06, 2025 by David Norman

The Dead Hour Noise music video for “Voices” was just released over at (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))). The song comes from the ‘Slow Burn’ 12”LP releasing on Zegema Beach and The Ghost Is Clear at midnight EST tonight aka Friday at midnight on 250 burgundy w/orange splatter vinyl. The violent, abrasive, sludgy and dark metallic hardcore/mathcore is for fans of: Curl Up And Die, Botch, Detach The Islands, Lavotchkin, and Olam. We have a tape or two of ‘Sleeping Dogs’ (their previous full length) available in this store which I’ve stuck below. Click on this text for the full premiere or just watch it above.

Sassy, volatile and raging metallic hardcore from Michigan-based DEAD HOUR NOISE. 11 tracks of mayhem by a very talented three-piece who hit the ground running back in 2014. Their latest LP ‘Sleeping Dogs’ ties together the sassiness and unpredictability of Every Time I Die’s ‘Hot Damn’ with the confidence and Botchiness of Von Wolfe. Every song is a banger, so don’t miss out. Released on gorgeous swirl cassettes by Tomb Tree Tapes.

Tapes /108, 50 white, 26 on transparent orange/black swirl and 26 on opaque orange/black/yellow swirl. Comes with download code. 11 songs.

You kept asking so we’ll just keep making these Febuary cds until demand dies down. First run was 100 and they lasted 10 minutes. Second run was 200 and those lasted 15 minutes. So we did 300 this time, and assume they’ll last 20 minutes? Hopefully longer but we make no promises. Easily one of the best releases of 2024 and one that’ll be talked about for ages. Sunday March 9th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Bloom Dream’s tour starts on March 10th and you better believe we sold the fuck outta those cds and first run of tapes so we did 100 more to help the band out on tour. This 2nd run features some swirl variants (the 1st did not) and they go up for sale on Tuesday March 11th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Breakdown is: 35 white, 30 random swirl, 30 sparkle swirl, 5 test dips, and 2 bullet-hole swirl.

Tomb Tree is set to release the debut Satsuma EP ‘this is my outside voice’ on cassette March 28th! This new Michigan-based band features Dan from The Reptilian and Seventeen Again making a mighty screamo comeback. This set of songs is fantastic and for fans of The Caution Children, Osceola, Hawak, etc. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere and jam “Calderone” as well as get some backstory on the band and the song.

Sleep // Process had their first song premiered by Not Just A Phase before their debut release. Middle Man will be doing cds and we’ll have tapes, but as we haven’t been able to order the tapes yet I don’t think they will be up for sale until a month or so after the March 18th release. Fingers crossed! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CROSSED = This Spanish band’s new album releases March 21st, but we can’t put up our copies as we don’t know how much they’ll cost after shipping. You can jam some songs on their bandcamp now, but if you’re in North America please don’t cave to the pressure and buy international, we’ll have them up on the release date of March 21st as we should know our actual cost by then.
