Zombi : Direct Inject

The prog/synth duo Zombi, which consists of keyboardist/bassist/composer Steve Moore and percussionist/keyboardist AE Paterra, have notched out a very specific sonic corner in electronic music. Influenced/inspired by horror scores and films, as well as 70s prog and more thoughtful metal of the 70s and 80s, these two Pittsburgh-raised musicians have rewired the idea of the […]

The Sounds Of Fall: Albums To Summon The Darkness Part I

Sunday’s high was 90 degrees. Today the high is supposed to be 59 degrees with rain for the next several days and my cold, black heart couldn’t be more thrilled. As I’ve gotten older the heat is becoming less congenial. At first I thought maybe it’s just me getting older, but I think more and […]

Five Songs : New Sounds For Your Next Great Mixtape

I know, you’re thinking to yourself, “Man, I sure wish someone would tell me what’s great and what I should be shoving in my ear holes right about now.” Well guess what, I’m here to help you out. Once in a while it’s nice to just talk about a song. I’m normally spreading the gospel […]

Zombi & Friends, Volume 1

Sure, the last couple years were anything but normal. You could go so far as to say abnormal. I gleaned onto anything I could that would offer some kind of escape from the global pandemic; be it books, films, tv shows, long walks, and of course music. 2020 saw some albums drop that allowed such […]

Zombi : Liquid Crystal

Even though 2020 was the giant dumpster fire that it was, there was still plenty of great music to rise from the political and pandemic ashes. One of the highlights was Zombi’s 2020, which saw the prog/horror/synth duo of Steve Moore and AE Paterra turning in one of their heaviest and honed in sets of […]

Zombi & Friends : Song Covers I Never Knew I Needed Till I Heard Them

There’s something quite magical about the recent covers series that Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck have been cooking up in these troubled times. Who are Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck you ask? Well Moore and Paterra are the guys behind the prog/synth duo Zombi. They’ve been making progressive horror/synth music for […]

Zombi Drop The Stunning “Black Forest”; ‘Liquid Crystal’ Out In May

Last year Zombi, the prog/synth duo of Steve Moore and AE Paterra, released the excellent album 2020. An aggressive shot of dark and heavy electronic music that was just what we needed in the tumultuous summer of 2020. It was the most raw piece of music Zombi had released up to that point. Then just […]

Pandemic 2020 : Favorite Albums So Far In The Year Of The Great Sigh

It feels trivial to sit here and write about my favorite albums of 2020, but I guess I’m trivial. There are far more important things to be talking about, I’m perfectly aware of that. I look out my window and see the same fires burning as you. I see people ignoring science and believing lies […]

Zombi : 2020

In a year of near post-apocalyptic proportions, which includes a lockdown-level pandemic, protests worldwide against police brutality, a near authoritarian regime in the US that’s doing nothing to bring us together, music is something I’m finding much solace in. Back in April or May one of my favorite artists announced a new LP, their first […]

It’s Friday! Go Listen To Zombi’s “No Damage”

We’re a week away from Zombi’s new album 2020 being released. July 17th is the day I’ve been waiting for since I first heard of this album’s release back in April or May. Back when the pandemic and isolation was fresh and ouchy. By this point a hard, ugly scab has formed and it’s all […]
