A March 22nd release date has been scheduled for Zombi‘s new studio album, “Direct Inject“. The electro-prog duo will be dropping that self-produced effort through Relapse Records and have just rolled out the single from it: “The Post-Atomic Horror“.
The band’s AE Paterra commented:
“‘The Post-Atomic Horror‘ is a very fun song for us to play. No trappings from our machines, just bass and drums, as stripped down as we can be. Definitely one for us to lean into on stage – a few minutes of riffs and wide open drums.”
Guest percussion from Jeff Gretz (Zao/From Autumn To Ashes) appears on the effort, as does guitar work from Phil Manley (Trans Am). The group’s other half, Steve Moore, commented on how it all came together:
“In 2022, after our tour with The Sword, we posted up in our friend’s studio in Clearfield, PA for a week of diner breakfasts and gas station BBQ. We would record every day and improvise until we found ideas we liked. We then took these ideas back home to Albany and Chicago to give them structure.
A few months later, after our tour with Om, AEP went back to Clearfield to record final drum tracks. Everything else was recorded at my home studio. The only exceptions are ‘Sessuale I’ and ‘Sessuale II‘, which were both written in the early ‘00s but never officially released.”
