100 Bands in 100 Days Presented by Verity Credit Union — Day 31: Zero Down
Please check out Verity Credit Union, our great partner in the 100 Bands in 100 Days local music showcase.
Music fans of the Pacific Northwest, get ready for our fifth annual year-end daily local music showcase, 100 Bands in 100 Days, where every day until December 31st, we’re showcasing a new band or artist you have to know about, once again presented by Verity Credit Union.
Make sure you are checking the #100Bands100Days hashtag on Twitter on a daily basis to stay on top of all the bands featured and be sure to follow Verity and NW_Music_Scene there. Some days the featured act could be an established and locally-adored northwest-based musician and other times they could be a band with a small following that just hasn’t had their deserved time in the spotlight yet. Either way, we’re fairly confident you can come away from this daily segment with plenty of new favorites. Today we are taking a look at one our favorite live bands in the northwest, Zero Down.
About the band:
Formed in 2002, Zero Down consists of five veteran musicians from the Seattle metal/punk rock scene that cast iron 70’s Arena Rock and NWOBHM guitar riffs with hardcore punk intensity. Zero Down has shared the stage with a variety of national acts including UFO, Motley Crue, Diamond Head, Y&T, Raven, Accept, Godsmack, The Accused, The Supersuckers, Michael Schenker Group, Prong, Paul Dianno and many more over the years and have released four full length CDs. Their latest release “No Limit To The Evil” was released on Minotauro Records in Jan of 2015 and includes artwork by the master of metal art, Ed Repka (Megadeth, 3 Inches of Blood, Death, Misfits, etc).
For those of you that love hard rock and classic heavy metal and you don’t yet have today’s featured band on your radar, you are in for a treat. We’ve caught them live a number of times (not sure the number but it’s a lot) and they always bring one of the most entertaining and energetic live sets in the northwest. With metal grooves that will have you banging your head for days, anyone that has seen them knows how badass they are. The latest release, Larger Than Death (out now on Italy’s Minotauro Records) delivers one face-melting shred after another and is a highly recommended listen around here. Check out the new album HERE.
