I truly apologize for the shipping delay for Turnpike HxC. This has been completely out of my hands, and when I finally thought progress was being made I was hit with another setback.

After confirming my shipping/customs information on THREE SEPARATE OCCASSIONS (once via email & twice over the phone) and prepaying the taxes & duties, they finally cleared customs. Half of the packages arrived in California yesterday while the other half remained in Kentucky.

HOWEVER, upon checking tracking this morning it appears some of the packages were SENT BACK to Kentucky, while some remain in California. Some never even left Kentucky. I’m just so utterly frustrated and confused at this situation. I legitimately have never dealt with such an insanely stressful, horrendous experience with a shipping service before. I just have absolutely no idea what the f**k UPS is doing.

I promise I will keep you all updated, and as soon as these records arrive (hopefully in one piece), I will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY.

Again, I’m so so sorry for the delay.

Continuing to package up Depths throughout the week! Goal is to have majority out by this Saturday.

Keep an eye out for an email update with tracking!

TPR-010: Martyr Defiled - Young Gods.

Need I say more? TPR-010 is none other than the UK heavyweights Martyr Defiled! Having shared the stage with peers like Su***de Silence, Emmure, Despised Icon, Oceano, Thy Art Is Murder, and countless other legendary bands, Martyr Defiled helped shape the UK’s deathcore scene during a time when the genre was still gaining international traction. Formed in 2007, they were among the first UK bands to successfully merge American-style deathcore—brutal breakdowns, blast beats, and death metal riffing—with a British hardcore influence.

With deep guttural vocals, chugging riffs, atmospheric/melodic interludes, and crushing breakdowns, “Young Gods” was the most refined & evolved version of their sound. While not as technical as prior releases, this album is more groove-driven & influenced by hardcore with elements of beatdown.

Having just played their last ever set at Ghostfest 2025, I don’t think there could be a better send off than finally getting the rest of their discography on vinyl, starting with YG.

This release is limited to 225 copies, spread across 4 variants, pressed by GGR:

1) “Through Famine, War & Scorn” /100
2) “At The Throne of Salem” Handmade /50
3) “Sow, And You Shall Reap” Handmade /50
4) “Sins of the Father” Wax Mage /25

* Matte gatefold jacket
* GGR Rice Paper Inner
* 2-sided full color insert
* Poly outer sleeve
* Gold-foil sequential numbering

Preorder date is 8/08/25 @ 3PM PST. This is a GGR preorder, so expect records to arrive as late as next year. This will be the last long-form TPR preorder before moving onto in-hands & short-form preorders (records are close to being done/about to be in-hand).

RESISTOR orders have been shipped! Keep an eye on your tracking numbers for updates. And if it still hasn’t been scanned in yet, don’t worry! I’ve noticed after dropping off a large amount of packages at once, it’s pretty common for the PO not to scan them in until they’ve arrived at your home state.

DEPTHS has arrived at TPR HQ! Unfortunately, I’ll be traveling to a nursing conference for work and will be unable to ship them for about another week. However, once I’m back home I’ll begin packing them immediately! Be sure to watch the TPR socials in the coming days for a full reveal! Each variant is absolutely insane.

Turnpike HxC goes on press not long after Depths finishes shipping. Can’t wait to see what intakt does!

Arbiter should round out this cluster of preorders and arrive after Turnpike. Truly sorry for the wait on this one!

Thanks for sticking around! With everything finally breaking loose, I’m comfortable announcing the final long-form preorder for TPR, and it’s a big one (UK deathcore with releases on TDON & SOAR). Announcement on 7/30!

Here's the official variant spread for TPR006: RESISTOR - HEADCASE. Love how everything turned out; photos really don't do these records justice. There's just so much texture, especially with the glitter in the vortex & tour variants. Can't wait for y'all to get these into your hands!

Stay tuned for something cool soon. I have something planned for some of these extra clear records... 👀

Hey all! Just checking back in to give you all some updates. As you might have heard from other labels, dunk has been experiencing some delays. With the amount of new orders, availability of materials, the machinery needed to press 7”, and now dunk fest, the two pressings I have left with them have been continuously pushed back. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do in regard to this.

However, the plant has provided me with an updated shipping timeframe for Resistor with the third (3rd) week of June being the target. As soon as I get confirmation that things are shipping, I’ll be back here to let you all know!

Of course, if you have any issues with your order or would like to request a refund, PLEASE message the label and not the band. The band has absolutely no control over this situation, and the last thing they need to is to get harassed when they have to focus on touring. If I hear of ANYONE harassing the band or giving them a hard time, your order will be refunded and you will be permanently banned from purchasing from TPR.

Thanks again for sticking through all the delays. Your unending patience is incredibly appreciated.

🚨 TPR Major Updates 🚨

There have been some big changes in my professional life outside of this label in the last couple of months. As some of you know, I work as a Registered Nurse in the emergency room of my local hospital. Recently, I was recognized by the hospital for catching a mistake missed by doctors and other members of the healthcare team that could have put a patients life in jeopardy. This award has presented me with professional opportunities that have been nothing short of a blessing, but are also keeping me extremely busy even outside of my scheduled work hours. With that, some changes are coming to TPR.

With that out of the way, let’s start getting into specifics with some preorder updates:

•RESISTOR - This was originally supposed to be sent to me in April. Obviously, that time has come and gone. Throughout the month of April, I had attempted to contact Dunk regarding the final shipment. After 3+ weeks of radio silence, I finally heard back from my pressing manager and was told that they were basically slammed with orders and were busy catching up. I was told this project would be on press soon, so keep on eye out for shipping updates. The band has also nearly sold out of the first run of CDs; expect a second pressing to come soon.
•Arbiter - test presses have been approved! All the extra goodies that will be included with orders are starting to arrive from the band as well. A box of the OG CD pressing of ‘Colossus’ has also been found; expect another post on that in the future!
•DEPTHS - print components have been done for quite awhile. All it is now is a waiting game to accumulate the parts necessary to make all of the handmade variants. I’ve put in a request for photos during/after production, so as soon as it goes on press expect some variant teasers!
•Turnpike HxC - Tests will be pressed this week and sent at the beginning of next. CDs arrived at HQ in March and all orders have shipped. The CDs look fantastic; if you’re on the fence, I’d definitely put in an order!

Alright, now for the changes coming to the label. It probably won’t come as a shock that I will be slowing down releases through TPR for the time being. That does NOT mean TPR is shutting down, it simply means that I might only do a small handful of releases a year. I haven’t been churning out releases like crazy anyway, but you’ll definitely notice a decline in announcements. I’ll also only be able to ship orders out Fridays & Saturdays going forward!

With that said, all future releases (excluding one final preorder - the biggest TPR release yet) will be in-hand only. NO MORE PREORDERS. Every record announcement going forward, minus the one I just mentioned will be made only when records are close to/are already in hand. I have two returning TPR bands, a TDON release, and a collaborative effort with one of my favorite labels all planned as in-hand drops.

And that’s all for now! Thanks for sticking with me, and sooner rather than later you’ll start seeing all these releases land at TPR HQ.

See you soon!
