  • ZOMBI: Complete Work On New Album, Unveil Album Art

    ZOMBI has completed work on a brand new full-length album titled Escape Velocity. Escape Velocity, the follow-up to 2009's Spirit Animal, was recorded in part by ZOMBI's Steve Moore and A.E. Paterra in Pittsburgh, PA and Nyack, NY. The album was mastered by Denis Blackham (THE WHO, LED ZEPPELIN, WILSON PICKETT, KRAFTWERK) at Skye Mastering in Scotland. Escape Velocity is set for a May 10th North American release date and will be available on CD (pre-order here), LP, and digitally. Additional release information and audio samples with be posted shortly.

    ZOMBI's Steve Moore commented on the new album; “I think the album came together exactly as planned, considering we had no plan. In fact I'm not even sure we knew we were making an album. Actually I can't remember at all. Anyway it's Jeremy's artwork that really ties it all together. Naked women, sports cars, mid-century modern architecture, space. The boy's a Shakespeare.”

    ZOMBI has unveiled Escape Velocity's album art via the band's MySpace page. The artwork is courtesy of Jeremy Schmidt (BLACK MOUNTAIN).

    ZOMBI is available for interviews upon request. To speak with the band, simply contact Betsey Cichoracki at Relapse Records via any of the means listed at the bottom of this message. Updated ZOMBI news and release information will be made available at the Relapse Records website: RELAPSE.com, the ZOMBI website: ZOMBI.us, MySpace: MySpace.com/ZOMBI and Facebook page.

    "The sound Zombi make-- equal parts Italo-funkers Goblin, Can's lockstep whirl, intro music to educational filmstrips of the 1970s, and Edgar Winter's undead "Frankenstein"-- can be almost impossibly epic….
