Zombi - "Cosmos"

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if two musicians that were inspired by big names in the horror industry such as Argento, Fulci and Carpenter would sound like if they made some music? Well my friends let me introduce you to the result of such an interesting query - I present you with ZOMBI!



ZOMBIE is a new team of musicians who are going to rock the socks off of the music/film industry. Steve Moore and A.E Paterra, hail from Pittsburgh, PA - home to George Romero's Dead movies and the birthplace of brain eating, slow moving zombies. Being inspired by the late 70's early 80's horror greats, these two gents have the horror bug so bad, it is only fitting that they name their group "Zombi".





Zombi's current Debut, Cosmos, will be available for purchase in the US Aug 3 and in Europe Aug 23. Might I say, you HAVE to grab a copy! These boys aren't playing around! They have put 210% into this release, and it shows! Teetering on the line of horror/sci-fi sound, this is the ear candy that I have been searching out for oh so long. If you are a fan of Pink Floyd's pre - Dark Side Of The Moon or original 70's prog rock this CD is going to bring life to your blackened heart, and bring back colorful flashbacks only you can appreciate. Zombi takes you on a roller coaster ride that will bring your emotions in check and leave you wondering if you are being abducted by aliens, watching a horrifying sacrifice, or walking aimlessly with a heard of Zombies.



This is seamless, crisp, clean cutting synth and percussion sound that the music world has been void of for some time now. There are no lyrics to deter from your listening enjoyment, no samples repeating themselves; just good pure musicians busting their ass to give you their soul and allowing you to make the story up as you go along.



This Debut CD gets 5 stars from me! No one else would have been able to pull off this resurgence of 70's style prog rock and turn it into a beautiful piece of musical ear candy as Zombi has. You don't need brains to agree with me on this one. Go NOW and pre-order a copy for yourself and a friend. The price is right, and it will be the best damn money you have spent on a CD in a long while!



Side note:

This love for horror that they have running through their veins has come full circle - Zombi has scored the feature length horror film "Home Sick" staring our buddy Bill Mosley as well as a few other notables. The soundtrack for this flick should be out following the release of this flick in fall of 2004 - so keep your eyes peeled!

"NICE. I found out about these guys while searching for the Goblin Zombi soundtrack because I like the whole gloomy synth sound and then I found out there was a band DEDICATED to creating music inpired by this unique 'Goblin formula'...Let me just say I can't wait for there next release! Very chill music that ironically puts you on the edge...Also ironic; they're signed to Relapse Records!?"

"Zombi's Cosmos is very welcome on the cd rack. It's great to see someone doing this style of music, which really isn't all that popular. I mean, it really doesn't fit into any popular genre. It's not metal, not industrial, and I can't see it being played at a rave, yet it's pretty much all synth. The comparisons to Goblin are very accurate. There's also some John Carpenter thrown in there, especially when you hit track 4. That's not saying they're a total Goblin clone, but even if they were, would that be so bad? There aren't many bands around doing this type of stuff, ya know, and Goblin have pretty much hung it up. Zombi, like Pink Floyd, can be very energetic or suprisingly soothing depending on your mood at the time. It's a very fuzzy, dancey, trancey, take off your pants-y kind of sound. Indeed it conjures up images of Romeroland. Upon listening to this cd my wife even said, "This sounds like it belongs in one of your zombie movies". So, there you have it. Do you like Goblin? You like zombie films and/or Italian horror cinema? Well, a new Goblin album seems unlikely, but at least we have folks like Zombi to carry that torch. Don't be a schmuck, buy it."
