Zombi announce new album ‘Direct Inject’

ZOMBI have announced a new album!

Titled Direct Inject, the upcoming album from the American rock duo is the follow-up to 2020’s 2020, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Relapse Records.

The upcoming album was self-produced by synths/bassist/guitarist Steve Moore and drummer/percussionist/electronics AE Paterra and features guest percussionist Jeff Gretz [ZAO, FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES], and guitar player Phil Manley [TRANS AM].

“In 2022, after our tour with THE SWORD, we posted up in our friend’s studio in Clearfield, PA for a week of diner breakfasts and gas station BBQ,” shares Moore. “We would record every day and improvise until we found ideas we liked. We then took these ideas back home to Albany and Chicago to give them structure. A few months later, after our tour with OM, AEP went back to Clearfield to record final drum tracks. Everything else was recorded at my home studio. The only exceptions are Sessuale I and Sessuale II, which were both written in the early ‘00s but never officially released.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, ZOMBI have released a new song from their upcoming album; The Post-Atomic Horror. The Post-Atomic Horror is a very fun song for us to play,” says Paterra. “No trappings from our machines, just bass and drums, as stripped down as we can be. Definitely one for us to lean into on stage – a few minutes of riffs and wide open drums.”
