Jabladav was born in 1995. An improv of three musicians that came from three different backgrounds of music. James(ja) ala Reign/Asylum/Branch Quartet was the bassist(me) came from the classical/metal influence,Blake(bla) ala Shadowfax/Dubzilla/Food/L.A session drummer came from the Tabla/Africian/Dub school and David(dav) old-school session ripper and member of award winning Blue Dogs,Branch Quartet. Jabladav recorded several hours of music from 1995-99 much of it still in the can. But Jabladav translated into much more. Although the band is no longer I have retained the spirt of those sessions into what is you now hear. Hope you enjoy the ride-J
In the first three months of production I have sold 22 Persona Series Cassettes. These albums are completely original 45 minute recordings, named after the purchaser who also retains full rights to further production of, and broadcast of the release. Each Persona Tape comes with 2 hand drawn mini posters, and a hand drawn cover. This is the most unique and exciting release you will ever own, order yours now for $10 (domestic shipping included, international shipping determined by distance) while I still feel like making them! Thanks for your time, and thanks for letting me advertise on this site :)
I have decided to dedicate the majority of my time to recording and selling albums. Currently I am on a Cassette kick, and everything that I am self releasing, or releasing on the label I own and operate (Kapustin Yar Records) is now on Tape. Prices will remain as low as possible on said products, because Tapes are for die hard collectors or Cassette enthusiasts only these days. The majority of albums I release on other labels, which is a larger and larger number month by month, are still being released on CD. That being said, I have recently recorded for The Persona Series (albums for individuals, named after their purchaser, with the owner retaining all rights and receiving 2 mini posters for $10 postage paid), which has been very successful. I have recorded a 90 minute Cassette, High Above The Horizon, which is available for $4 postage paid, and The Blood Album Part 2 for $4 postage paid. Please help me to continue pumping out these and other albums by ordering these crazy Tapes today!!!
My new full length cassette HIGH ABOVE THE HORIZON is now availble for $4, domestic shipping included! This album features some incredibly experimental vocal work, trippy acoustic guitar lines, and SUPER crunchy riffs all mixed with nasty ass electronics. This is the best bang for your buck you will see this year!!!!!! -Z
I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
I finally got my copy of Black As Pitch, definitely well worth the wait. I love the atmosphere, and the riffing is great. St. Philip Episcopal Church really stood out, very haunting.
