Inspired by the recent Zombii 2 CD, the lady and I watched Suspiria last night. The soundtrack, by the Italian band Goblin, is rightfully recognized as a creepy, proggy tour de force. And we thorougly enjoyed the movie, of course. Then came the extras and this classic video:


Was it parody? Misguided tribute? Alas, no, it apparently is the band Daemonia, fronted by Goblin’s keyboard player Claudio Simonetti. Daemonia is a metal band that covers old Goblin songs and, apparently, has a budget of not more than 100 euros per video shoot. Oh well.

You can find a couple of blurbs about Zombii 2 here and here. It’s being “released” tomorrow, by which I mean that Zane and Brea will be giving it to those who find them at or around the IDW table at Comic Con in San Diego–they’re doing a signing for their forthcoming comic at 4:30pm tomorrow–and who follow the ask-and-trade rules described on their sites linked below.

But here’s a sneak preview:
Night of the Living Dead (Original Version) – Zombii 2

They had already finished this one up before I got involved, so I’m not on it, but it’ll give you a flavor of what’s on the CD. I’ll post another mp3 or two when the disc is officially out there.

I recently managed to insert myself into a totally kickass project by dynamic sibling duo Zane and Brea Grant (thanks guys!). It’s called Zombii 2: Brea and Zane Sing Their Hits, wherein the Hits are a bunch of lo-fi gems based on some of Z & B’s favorite zombie/horror films. Yours truly pitched in writing some of the music and adding some beats and squelchy synths. You can read more about it here and here.
