Bay Area metal veterans Zeromind have unleashed a blistering new single, “Buried Alive,” trading their early nu-metal influences for a full-throttle thrash-and-metalcore assault.
Formed in the early 2000s, the band initially embraced the abrasive energy of rap-rock and groove metal before stepping away for several years. Now, Zeromind has resurfaced with a renewed focus on the thrash metal and progressive influences that first inspired them to pick up their instruments.
Their latest offering, “Buried Alive,” leaves the nu-metal elements behind and goes straight for the jugular. Neck-snapping guitar riffs, bass grooves that practically leap out of the speakers, precision drumming, and powerful vocal hooks combine into a fist-pumping, headbanging metal anthem.
The gang vocals bring to mind Bay Area thrash legends Exodus, while the relentless guitar shredding and infectious vocal melodies wouldn't sound out of place on a modern Trivium record. The combination feels both familiar and fresh, balancing old-school thrash aggression with the polished intensity of contemporary metalcore.
So to sum it up, Zeromind are back, louder, heavier, and ready to rip the f**king roof off.
