ZOROASTER: New Song Posted Online
September 10, 2007Atlanta, GA doom metal trio ZOROASTER has unveiled another new song from its eagerly awaited full-length debut, "Dog Magic". The thundering track "Terminally Charged" can be heard online at this location.
Set for a September 11 release via Terminal Doom/Battle Kommand Records (by way of Southern Lord),ZOROASTER's "Dog Magic" is being called "one of the year's best metal records." The album is a monstrous and foreboding foray into primal, ultra heavy sludge / doom with searing atmospheric and psychedelic edges. The addition of left-of-center instrumentation (including Moog synths, theremins, ominous vocal choirs and a brass section to boot) to the band's sound allows "Dog Magic" to simultaneously crush, swing and spook, seducing primal urges while inducing dark dreams of a David Lynch-ian world.
"'Terminally Charged' is one of the first songs we ever wrote," explains ZOROASTER guitarist/vocalist Will Fiore. "Brent (bassist/vocalist Brent Anderson) had written the lyrics a year prior upon waking up after a binge. The first day we got together as a band, he had the main riff. I threw a few things in and the song was complete. The song has stayed pretty much untouched as far as the arrangement goes, besides the last minute addition of the keys on the album version."
In other news, ZOROASTER has announced U.S. tour dates in support of "Dog Magic". The band will remain on the road through the entire month of October. Featuring a live show that has been described as "an obliteration of the senses", the three piece has earned the title of "Atlanta’s loudest band" while sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists including BIG BUSINESS, NACHTMYSTIUM, HIGH ON FIRE, OXBOW and SAVIOURS.
