    For 30 years, 3 decades and in two millennia, Zao has been kicking wholesale ass

      Long Live Zao!
      Still in awe how exceptional they still sound to this day.

      Highly underrated by those who don't know... beyond appreciated and praised for those who do.

    omg how I love Crimson Corridor!! Matured ZAO sound; it's dense, atmospheric, gnarly pure & undisguised emotion, and ever so delicately balanced to serve one purpose only: maximum ZAO eargasm! Cannot wait to listen to Jaws live!! 💖

      True enlightenment is found in Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).

    This brings me back to the day when I went to Walmart, bought Zao’s self titled cd and just sat in the parking lot listening to the album reading the liner notes. I couldn’t wait to get home and jump on Garage Band. 🤘🏼

      I won't forget just seeing Zao at Walmart was mind blowing cause I can remember having a music store in the mall order me in the splinter and where Blood and fire bring rest cause even the music store didn't carry them on shelves.

    Dan has been besting age and biology for 25 years. Ain’t no human that can sound like a gargoyle werewolf swallowing rocks and still have a voice after that long. Dudes the Keith Richard’s of metal singers.

    After disappearing on a trip from Virginia to Pennsylvania, Edgar Allan Poe turned up nearly unconscious and babbling incoherently in a gutter in Baltimore, MD. While on his deathbed, Poe allegedly whispered the word “Croatoan.”

    • @dr.ew88
      @dr.ew88 Před 4 měsíci +5

      Amelia Earhart wrote it in her journal before she disappeared. And some writer carved it in his bed post before disappearing. The colony of Roanoke 110-120 people, one of them carved it into a pillar in the colony before they all disappeared. So maybe to hand write the word or carve it into something lol

    this has become my fav new Zao song after long list of good ones! One thing that always got me when listening without knowing the title of the song, chorus sounds like "grow it down" which I always thought was a badass saying...come to find out it was "Croatoan"...lol
