Search - Zoroaster :: Voice of Saturn

Voice of Saturn , the follow up to the band s critically acclaimed release, Dog Magic , has arrived. Recorded at The Living Room in Atlanta (The Black Lips, Mastodon) with engineer Ed Rawls, Voice of Saturn pushes ZOROASTER s heady mix of mammoth metal and psychotropic shoegaze to skyscraping new heights. From the galloping post-Sabbath rock of the roll out track Spirit Molecule to the concrete street cleaning of Lamen of the Master Therion and through to the tribal percussive vertebrae of the album s hidden closer, Voice of Saturn administers in-the-red levels of both the band s mysticism and barbarism in spades. The record features a guest appearance from friend and fellow Atlantean Brent Hinds of Mastodon, who contributes a searing guitar solo to the song White Dwarf . ZOROASTER, who has been called "one of the U.S.'s most promising underground metal bands", formed in Atlanta, GA in 2003 out of the need for sedation by high volumes and low frequencies". The group has met to shining praise from both metal and indie rock press alike since its formation, being praised for its deafening power, use of left-of-center instrumentation (which has included Moog synths, theremins, ominous vocal choirs and even brass sections) and unique take on heavy music. ZOROASTER features a live show that has been described as "an obliteration of the senses", earning the three piece the title of Atlanta s loudest band". When asked for comment on Voice of Saturn, ZOROASTER guitarist / vocalist Will Fiore stated, With Voice of Saturn , we ve continued to expand on our sound, while still keeping that heavy base we started with. The new album is another step in our ongoing evolution. The album s primo cover art was designed by Brian Mercer (Melvins, High on Fire).
