ZEROZONIC hails from Norway and this is their fourth album titled ZEROZONIC with nine tracks at a length of just a little over forty-three minutes. "Never Let It Fall" reminds me of ROB ZOMBIE stuff but with its own edge. It's very spunky and a song that you could in use moments where there is something needed to be done in a jiff and you wanted to get pumped up. I think I could see myself listening to this while playing intense video games. A kickass tune for that feel to be badass. Awesome stuff!

In "Instrumentalis" there are no vocals. The guitar, drumming, bass, and effects move you all on their own. It starts out with a bit of a crunchier guitar and has this some-what malevolent feel to it.  At 4:54 there is note picking and a mood change. It transitions into a more softer feel but then heads quickly back into that malevolent feel from the beginning. My explanation of this track would not be complete until I mention that it definitely has some awesome riffage and a pretty sweet solo! "I Walk Away" The clean un-harsh notes played in the beginning could soothe the wildest beast! It's just so beautiful. As for the vocals, there are harsh vocals but also clean, and it's a perfect balance between the two. There is no blast beats when it comes to drumming but it isn't too slow either. It has a short but awesome solo that some-what but not entirely reminds me of OMNIUM GATHERUM. The lyrics are also quite deep.

This is one album that I really loved and I just know these guys have the potential to be great. They have that flare that I can't quite put my finger on and a genuine uniqueness to their music. I was not disappointed by this album. Every second of my listening experience was pure pleasure. An album I will constantly be returning to. ZEROZONIC is a band I have listed as one of my favourites. Can't wait for their future albums!!
