There Are Multiple Artists Named Zombi 1 Zombi Is A Progressive Electronic Group From Pittsburgh PA United States. Producing Work That Is Epic In Concept Sound And Artistic Approach Steve Moore And A.E. Paterra Majeure The Masterminds And Multi-Instrumentalists Behind Zombi Have Re-Imagined The Architecture Of Progressive Rock And Dynamic Instrumentals -Carving A Niche In Underground Music Distinctly Their Own. The Band's Signature Sound Achieved Using Only Electric Bass Drums And A Collection Of Analog Synthesizers Is Deceptively Lush Considering Its Two Man Skeleton Crew Ensemble. Moore's Bass Playing And Meticulous Synthesizer Programming Interacts Seamlessly With Paterra's Controlled Precision Drumming -As If Each Man Is Anticipating His Counterpart's Next Move. Punctuated By Moore And Paterra's Seasoned Songwriting Skills Each Zombi Song -Whether Grand In Design Like "Night Rhythms" From The Band's Forthcoming LP Or Powerful And Driving Like "Orion " The Opening Track On Cosmos -Is Entirely Autonomous And True To The Duo's Creative Vision. "I Bring A Lot Of Skeletal Ideas To The Table - Basslines Sequences And Drum Parts. Steve Will Then Craft Them Into Complete Songs " Paterra Explains. "There Is A Musical Trust That Exists Between Us That Allows For Full Exploration Of All Ideas. We Are Perfectionists Sometimes To A Fault But I Think It Is A Quality That Lends Itself Well To The Music." "We Share The Same Goal Which Is Simply To Create Music That We Enjoy -It's Rather Selfish " Moore Adds. "We Have A Similar List Of Influences As Well Both Of Us Having Grown Up Listening To Progressive And Classic Rock. So When It Comes Time To Write We're Basically Completing Each Other's Thoughts." Following The Success Of Cosmos -Zombi's Critically-Acclaimed Debut Album For Relapse Records -And A Series Of National Tours With Artists Like The Dillinger Escape Plan The Fucking Champs Red Sparowes Panthers And Breather Resist Moore And Paterra Regrouped In Chicago To Begin Work On Their Next Full-Length Album. "Surface To Air Is A Genuinely Progressive Album Bigger Denser And More Dynamic Than Anything We've Done Before " Moore Says. "It's Still Dark And Cinematic But Without Being Kitschy Like Some Of Our Earlier Releases." "The Album Is An Accurate Representation Of Who We Are And Where We Are Headed As A Band " Paterra Adds. "It Is The Culmination Of A Style And Sound We've Been Honing Since Our Inception But It Also Puts Us In A New Direction One That I Am Excited To Explore." Larger In Scope And Sound Surface To Air Is An Evolutionary Album Anchored By The Distinct Melodic And Technically Complex Sound Zombi Has Become Known For But More Mature And Forward-Thinking In Its Overall Conceptual Approach. While The Track Listing May At First Appear Lean At A Mere Five Songs The Attentive Listener Will Soon Realize That Moore And Paterra Have Composed And Assembled More Than 40 Minutes Of Emotive Dynamic Multi-Layered Music -Making Surface To Air A Magnum Opus In Its Own Right. Informed By The Music And Boundary-Pushing Work Ethic Of Icons Like Genesis Tangerine Dream Van Halen And Pink Floyd Moore And Paterra Rely Just As Much On Inspiration From The Past As They Do On Their Own Skill And Musical Knowledge During The Songwriting Process. On Surface To Air The Integrity Of Tracks Like "Challenger Deep" With Its Powerful Driving Bassline And The Mysterious Mounting Tension Of "Digitalis" Are Indisputable Evidence Of Zombi's Artistic Growth And Allegiance To Producing A Diverse And Progressive Body Of Work. "Legacy " However Sidesteps Revealing A More Introspective Direction In Moore And Paterra's Work While The Album's Title Track "Surface To Air " Opens With A Frantically-Paced And Hypnotic Synthesizer-Laden Melody. Experimenting With A Vast New Sound Zombi Proves That Charging Forward With An Expansive Vision Can Open Doors To An Entirely New Realm. While Moore And Paterra Still Draw Inspiration From The Horror Genre When Composing Film Scores A Broader Range Of Influences -As Well As A Desire To Push The Boundaries Of What They've Already Accomplished -Now Informs The Material For Their Albums. Whether You're An Adventurous Listener Diehard Fan Or Skeptical Observer Delving Into The Latest Chapter Of Zombi's Prolific And Ever-Evolving Work Will Never Disappoint. 2 Zombi Is A Finnish Death Metal Formed In Late 2003 When Kuolio And Kallo Were Awoken From Their Eternal Slumber By An Inhuman Lust For Human Flesh And A Desire To Design Music So Brutal It Would Make Mortal Ears Rot.
The First Testament Of Brutality Was Called Coffin. Soon It Was Followed By The Despicable Reanimated In Early 2004. The World Would Never Be The Same.
Zombi Returned A Year Later To Shock Mankind Again With Two New Displays Of Displeasure In The Cellar And Lawnmower Massacre. A Putrid Stench Of Rotting Flesh Filled The Air. Kallo And Kuolio Knew Their Visit To The Land Of The Living Wouldn't End Here.
In Order To Dominate The World They Needed To Expand Their Troops A Search For New Members Begun. The Rotting Corpses Of Raato Rutto And Surma Were Soon Reanimated From The Depths Of Hell To Join The Group. Zombi Were Now Stronger Than Ever. It Was Only A Matter Of Time They Would Unleash Their Full Assault On The Condemned Mortals.
Zombi Was Renamed In 2007 And Is Now Going By The Name The Zombi. The Name Was Changed To Avoid Lawsuit From Relapse Records. read less
