ZOMBI

The two-man synth rock band Zombi takes its musical inspiration from horror films of the days of yore as much as they do Yes and King Crimson, as their five-track synth-dominant with bass and drum offering SURFACE TO AIR displays. This <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pennsylvania</st1:place></st1:State> duo ditches the guitar completely here, opting instead to bulk up on vintage synths and keyboards for ambiance, texture, and an overall chilling effect. This tandem also demonstrates the know-how on song layering, masterfully heard on the pre-hit era Genesis meets Between the Buried and Me’s current revivalist tactics on “Legacy”. Tossing in large chunks of prog rock histrionics, entrancing Moog melodies, and a vibrant rhythm section who reference Rush as much as John Carpenter, Zombi’s left of center landscape of luxurious electronics and triumphant analog manipulations will surely create a unique atmosphere.
