Holy shit, I had no idea Zao was still around and making new music–I saw them back in ’00 and they put on a hell of a show, but my tastes changed over the years and I forgot them. They’re pretty far away from what I listen to now, but I just listened to most of that album and the whole thing is pretty solid.
Sidenote: you inspired me to go back and listen to some Norma Jean, too, and it still holds up.
They’ve been my favorite band since Liberate Te Ex Inferis in 1999. Every time they release a new album, I hold my breathe, thinking that this is surely the one where they phone it in but they just keep getting better.
I’m not so sure about the lyrics, hm. I think that could use some work. But the sound is awesome. Great drumming and I love the spread of the guitar. This is now part of my ‘sound references’. Even as a youtube it’s great spectrum.
i like the music, but the lyrics? idunno i’m not a big lyrics person. like i barely understand metal vocalists as it is and to a degree i think i prefer that. i view the voice as another instrument especially when it’s a more growly voice. i guess my point is that most metal bands should probably avoid lyrical videos 😅
