ZOROASTER Completes Work On 'Matador'
May 4, 2010Atlanta, Georgia's "psych metal" band ZOROASTER has completed work on its sophomore album, "Matador", for a July 13 North American release via E1 Music.
Produced and engineered by Sanford Parker at Glow in the Dark Studios and The Living Room Recording in Atlanta, and mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room in Chicago, Illinois, "Matador" is "a magnetic tour-de-force, blending vivid rhythms and radiance with the band's classic use of dynamics and power," according to a press release. "Creative, distinct, graceful and strong, 'Matador' features the traits of a benchmark release. From the cosmic march of album opener 'D.N.R.' through to the leviathan-like closing title track, it is immediately evident that ZOROASTER has joined friends — and fellow Atlanta natives — MASTODON and new label mates HIGH ON FIRE as a unit determined to push modern heavy music into new and uncharted realms."
The "Matador" cover art was designed by Brian Mercer and can be viewed below.
