All the death metal fiends in the underground know that the sickest demo of last year was released by ZOM, via Invictus Productions, and it sold ultra quick. Now on March 7th, you will have your chance to get the third pressing, which will sell out just as quick as the first two pressings! Read below what Jamie Grimes had to say about ZOM, plus you can hear their demo in full HERE. The real reason for this post is to share with a video of their full show on Friday the 13th this past month. So after the jump, allow ZOM to drag you down into the underworld, and peep this dark fucking footage!
Arising like some kind of monstrous, Fulci-esque zombie from the sewers earlier this year, ZOM have been a revelation locally. Having only played their debut show earlier this year after being locked in the rehearsal room honing their craft, they made an instant impression with their archaic brand of death metal, inspired by the likes of Necrovore, Beherit, Obscurity and demo-era Death. Sure,revisionism is rife in death metal in 2011 as everyone and their mother stocks up on Boss Heavy Metal pedals and attempts to re-write “the Left Hand Path” or “Onward to Golgotha”, but ZOM’s sound doesn’t feel contrived like many of their peers. It’s an organic approach that places emphasis on creating a dark and primitive atmosphere rather than simply realigning stolen riffs from their favourite albums.
