Zoroaster
Atlanta, GA based doom metal masters Zoroaster debut with a s/t MCD that will leave listeners flattened in their sonic barrage of amp-worshipping, guitar-driven, low-ended doom metal. The band have earned themselves a great reputation around Atlanta in the last year or so as a result of heavy gigging and even managed to earn themselves a regional promotion deal with legendary cheap beer company Pabst Blue Ribbon. Regular headlining shows on Friday and Saturday nights playing in some of Atlanta's premier metal and rock clubs only to be invited back time and time again by club owners, promoters and the likes. Truely one of the hardest working bands we've ever come across, with an intense seven-nights-a-week rehersal schedule (which is only interrupted for gigs) has helped turn this ferocious new group into not only a great studio band but also a pummeling live machine that is ready to take their doom and gloom on the road, hopefully resulting in heavy touring. Behold the debut of one of the most promising doom acts that the US has to offer.Zoroaster has agreed to this EP release and a pending full-length album deal with Battle Kommand Records that can be expected in late 2006. This release will be distributed in North America by Southern Lord.
