This duo, from the Pittsburg based band Zombi, has just released there 4th album on Relapse Records, and I’m just now taking notice of them. I must just say something about them in brief, because it’s one of those bands that are slowly ingraining itself into my brain. It honestly blows me away.
If you grew up of having fond memories of 80’s movies of the thriller, horror, or Sci-Fi genre, featuring music from the likes of John Carpenter or Goblin, this may be a perfectly suited CD for you to check out. It is such a soundtrack from that area, with enough freshness liken to trance or bands like Voice Industrie (minus the vocals). I can literally picture Snake Plissken running around in my head when listening to a lot of this music. It gets into your brain and hooks you completely. I really wish that in some respect these types movies from the 80’s could still be made, but it seems with the advancement in technology we’ve lost a bit of grittiness and fantastical nature of what made them so great. Real hands on quality makeup effects, brooding film quality and the supernatural nature of a music that sounds beyond reality. Zombi is a band that’s tapped into something beautiful and familiar to me, and for that I thank them.
