DEMERSAL 12"EP 'Vi kunne ikke blive her for evigt, vel?' is out! The 5-song EP shows the Danish band pushing their sound even further to the hardest and softest extremes. There are 300 clear orange vinyl & we've got pre-orders up for our 30 copies! FFO: Telos, Converge, Serrate, Respire, Tenue, etc.

I can't say enough amazing things about this debut 12"LP from North Carolina's SERRATE. Blistering, visceral, yet somehow catchy. It's like Orchid, Converge, and Crossed in a blender. We've got 12"s on both red and mucus green, which was co-released with Bitter Melody Records. Incredible stuff!!!

On the precipice of the Monday's SERRATE 12"LP release, we've got: SERRATE podcast, TWINS pre-orders + music video, BOK SUNA out, EMMA GOLDMAN music video, I PROMISED THE WORLD + VOTIVE @ ZBR Fest, Chin Music played AVERY FRIEDMAN, Equalizing -x- Distort played COUP D'ETAT, & new YARBO is amazing.

The pre-order is up! 12"LPs for 'it_s complicated' by TWINS are up alongside a brand new music video! The German band's new 8-song album releases Nov 21st, but we've only got 25 of these for all of our stores so don't sleep on it. FFO: Via Fondo, Neska Lagun, Osceola, etc. <3

USURP SYNAPSE 2x12" pre-order, BOK SUNA's 'Carnate' 12", Out Past the Rings for A PARAMOUNT, A LOVE SUPREME + CARA NEIR, ZBR Fest videos from ADOBE HOMES + SHOGANAI, This Noise Is Ours reviewed the POETRY OF TORCH + GIL CERRONE split cd, Operation X-RAY played EMMA GOLDMAN, & there's new HORSEBOY!

BOK SUNA's 12"LP 'Carnate' is 13 gorgeous, honest, and dark songs from this Tacoma/Seattle project that recruited the drummer from Hillsboro to really flesh out this new set of songs. For fans of: Lomelda, Mieke, Clairo, Mage Tears & Frankie Cosmos. This came out on CanaDave's Softseed Music label.

USURP SYNAPSE's 'Disinformation Fix' is up for 2x12" pre-order & holy smokes are they moving fast. We only made 500 (shipping late Oct) on hand-poured, colored vinyl with gatefold, laser-cut cover that showcase incredible inner sleeves. A truly monumental band/release on vinyl for the first time.

Arguably too much info in this A PARAMOUNT, A LOVE SUPREME 'Crisis Meditations' Out Past the Rings and CARA NEIR 'Part III / Part IV' Tomb Tree Family Tree episode including: best EP of the last decade, shelved/golden 4-way split, the ZBR Fest curse, losing $300, Carry Nents, etc.

Much like the Emma Goldman LP, I expect this SERRATE debut 12"LP to turn some heads. For fans of: Crossed, Converge, Orchid, and Majority Rule. Full release on September 8th but here's a new song/music video.

USURP SYNAPSE pre-order on Friday 9am PST! EMMA GOLDMAN tapes! Also: AVERY FRIEDMAN stupid fancy 12"s look incredible, NOT JUST A PHASE Vol.3 runnin' low, ZBR Fest 2025 band videos w/new content, Operation X-RAY plugs DEMERSAL + GERONIMOSTILTON, BOK SUNA's 'Carnate' releases Friday, & new Malevich!

EMMA GOLDMAN cassettes for 'all you are is we' cuz we couldn't hold on to those vinyl for the life of us. Easily top 3 screamo releases of 2025. FFO: Mahria, Nuvolascura, New Forms, Blind Girls, and The Blood Brothers. zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-yo...

HOARI tapes are out and the digitals are up on our Bandcamp! Easily one of the most abrasive EP from 2024, it would have been a travesty to not have some kind of physical format available. Unrelenting, gargantuan, chaotic hardcore for fans of: Telos, Shora, Coarse, Malevich, Thank You Driver, etc.

HOARI tapes release tomorrow!!! HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE x ROSEMARY NODS UPON THE GRAVE 7"s movin' fast, new BOK SUNA music video, NUVOLASCURA is 99% sold out + made the Best of July 2025 on Everything Is Noise, Operation X-RAY dished out love for DIE PRINCESS DIE, and new LIGATURE music video!

The HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE x ROSEMARY NODS UPON THE GRAVE split 7" is officially out! There were 150 opaque yellow copies made, of which we have almost 50. These likely won't last long. For fans of: And Its Name Was Epyon, The Names Of Our Friends, Salvinorin-A, and Funeral Diner.

We had to dip our hands in the SHOGANAI pot, for their self-titled EP blew us away, as did their live performance at ZBR Fest 2025. Intricate, emotional, unique, badass, mathy screamo for fans of: Rainmaking, Rayleigh, Nuvolascura, New Forms, Blind Girls, and Mahria. Just 53 cassettes were made.

ZBR Fest 2025 trailer! SININEN tapes released! SHOGANI tomorrow! Also: distro update, CLAY BIRDS restock, MOURN RECIF + DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD live video, SALLOW MOTH's return, help a friend in need, Operation X-RAY gave Piri Reis props, & A RECORDED DAWN + HOSE split is awesome!

SININEN's ‘I was upset recently’ is officially out via Tomb Tree! Fans of Suis La Lune, Øjne, Via Fondo, Raein, & Funeral Diner will love this debut EP from Sweden. They're ex-Via Fondo, so dense, gorgeous, swirling atmosphere filled with desperate screams and heavier moments. Too good.

Italy's CHEVALIER released what I would easily consider one of the best debut EPs of 2025. Razor sharp, multi-vocal emo-violence for fans of: Senza, Jeanne, Valeska Suratt, Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead, Craneo, and Ashen Hands.

Playing the final DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD show w/Jens in BC last night was an absolute honor. Videos from all bands including "Harmonics Harm Onix's's's" via MOURN RECIF and the ex-Valtiel band DEPICTION OF MAN who were amazing, as were LUELLA and MAL CRIADO.
