*** PODCAST #178 Athousandangelsandseven ***

    In late 2024 I got a message from Elle, the vocalist/lyricist of ATHOUSANDANGELSANDSEVEN, asking if ZBR was interested in releasing their debut EP. After jamming it I fucking flipped out. It was that good. Now it's out...and speaking of out, the cassettes are long sold out but we'll have some 7" vinyl summer 2025. Besides coming to play ZBR Fest and dropping a ridiculously sick music video, the entire band managed to hop on a call with me to discuss many-a-thing, including: music that makes you feel bad, everything falling apart at the right time to come back together, Aaron Carter is dead, Shrek parties, backflips for God, percolating hard, jet-puking on mailboxes, Massa Nera blowing minds, ZBR Fest, new material, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Crestfallen, Discordance Axis, Purple Mountain, Refuse To Thrive, Void, and Wot Gorilla?.

*** CALATHEA exclusive music video premiere ***

CALATHEA

"Halo of Thorns"
exclusive music video premiere

For fans of: Altair, Vibora, Boneflower and Young Mountain

Bandcamp

     Today I'm premiering the new music video for CALATHEA from their upcoming seven-song EP 'Flowers and Knives'. The post-hardcore/screamo band from Basque Country have concocted quite the release here, complete with sick vocals, dreamy-yet-heavy post-hardcore instrumentals that border on black metal, as well as features from Boneflower and Vibora. Recorded and mastered at Koba Estudio by Xanpe, it sounds fantastic. The band cites influences being Touché Amoré, Deafheaven, Viva Belgrado, and Boneflower. The 'Flowers and Knives' EP releases in full on all platforms March 21st, 2025.

(2025) CALATHEA "Halo of Thorns" (from 'Flowers and Knives')

     The track is actually quite short, clocking in at 2:40, but the dreamy atmosphere is both uplifting and intense, creating a well-balanced composition that sounds beautiful but also hits like a truck. Young Mountain is probably the best/closest comparison I can think of in terms of sound, with ethereal and vibrant guitars crashing onto massive bass and drums, with the vocals switching between harsh screams and lovely cleans.

"Zigurat"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Infant Island, Portrayal Of Guilt and Crossed

Bandcamp

     Today's premiere comes from Madrid, Spain's PODRÉ TOCAR LOS DIENTES DE LA NOCHE. "Zigurat" will be included on the upcoming full album releasing later this year but you can get face-smacked by the first single now! This thing is a fucking beast, equally utilizing ear-piercing shrieks and gutteral growls, the track blasts through three minutes of grindy, mathy, metallic hardcore in no time. The final minute or so is soaked in feedback and eerie layers of vocals, making it sound like the descent into hell. P.S. these drums are insane.
