*This CD version included a bonus track - Power
Philadelphia metal-punks Zorn return with the new EP Endless Funeral, this CD version included a bonus track "Power" which is not in any other format, a smoldering caldron of hardcore punk, thrash, and black metal, all melding together to create a monstrous and ripping sound that has plenty of layers to dig into and just the right amount of camp to keep things interesting.
Endless Funeral ups the ante on Zorn’s previous releases in nearly every way, with more brutality, more musicality, and more theatricality. Zorn’s unique blend of metal and punk continues to pull from a wide swath of influences, whether it’s the brutal death metal riff on the opening track, “Warpath,” the epic mosh part in “G.O.R.N.,” the charging d-beat of “Drunken Demon” and “Dance of Madness,” and even the neoclassical shred guitar of the title track, a standout moment from recent live sets finally immortalized on vinyl. Atop the instrumental melee, vocals howl like an army of banshees let loose from hellish containment, their idiosyncratic rhythms skittering wildly across the instruments’ lock-step pummeling. Summoning both the chaos and the power of Zorn’s legendary live sets, Endless Funeral will leave you bruised, bloody, spent, and loving every second of it. ( Sorry State Records)
