Band: Z.O.N.E.
From: New York, New York
Their formation story:
(Aaron Suh, guitar): "I actually responded to a post that Jay posted in the No Echo Facebook group! The post mentioned trying to start up a thrash project, or at least something that was heavily influenced by that style of hardcore. I had been sitting on some bedroom demos for a few years in that exact same vein so I sent them over to Jay who was super pumped on them.
"Jay is based in Brooklyn and I am in Connecticut, so we figured it made sense to base the band out of New York. Jay was responsible for sending out the bat signal to fill out the rest of our lineup with other New York-based musicians, and we got to work. Those bedroom demos ended up becoming a majority of the songs we ended up writing altogether as a band."
Their sound in their own words:
"Heavy, metallic hardcore. FFO audial terrorism, C4 (the explosive), nuclear holocaust, and event horizons."
Latest release info:
"We just released a single called 'Site-X.' We wanted to come out of the gate armor piercing and felt this track was the best weapon."
Future plans:
"Releasing the blistering sonic Z.O.N.E. experience to the masses via digital and live performance."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Heretic Bodyhammer, Gigan Animal Thugs, Civilian Camouflage, and Martyrs."
