ZU returns with first new studio record in years!

Zu is a strange beast. Officially born in Ostia, on the sea of Rome Italy in 1997, the band has released more than 15 albums and played thousands of shows throughout the planet, gaining a cult status worldwide. Genre-defying and boundary-blurring, Zu has evolved a unique musical language following its own personal path. Parts of metal, noise, prog, electronic music, ambient, industrial, and contemporary music, are transformed and reshaped in their unique form, resembling none of the above. In the last 20+ years, they have collaborated with a wide array of artists, from their famous collaboration with Mike Patton on Carboniferous album, to acclaimed theatre director Romeo Castellucci and his Societas Raffaello Sanzio. They have released albums on labels such as Ipecac Recordings and (Ulver-curated) House Of Mythology on which they published an experimental trilogy: Jhator (2017) Zu93 – Mirror Emperor (2018), Terminalia Amazonia (2019).

The pandemic has provided a forced break and the opportunity to reflect deeply until 2024, when they show up again with a vinyl reissue of "Bromio" (their first work from 1999), followed by "The Lost Demo", a sort of legendary testimony of their debuts dated 1996, both on the roman label Subsound Records.
