Zao is one of those bands that it doesn't seem to matter how long they're around, they just keep putting out fantastic music.

[@luxuriousfir]

Music knows no bounds

[@jtheoriginal9775]

Yeah they are not sell outs like 99% bands and other. There is 1 raper that died and I'll miss him forever but him dy!ng made him not sell out...2PAC!!!! Cradle hasn't ,Cannibal Corpse hasn't, Six feet Under and otep hasn't changed

[@Movewellmoveoften]

I wonder how many dads are getting out of a pta meeting and then throwing this on in the car right now.

[@fatespaladin]

This one for sure lol

[@thedudecoffeeblogger2534]

Lmfao. If I had a pta meeting to go too I would step out to jam this

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

Mom, not a dad..... but I'm 3 years passed PTA meetings and still enjoy these albums. Typically when I work out/exercise.

[@foundation5557]

45 with two young daughters and been listening since 96.

“Nothing can ever stay the same” Meanwhile Zao out here still kicking ass after 20+ years

[@charlesrocks]

More like 30 years. These dudes just won't stop.

[@chrisy4011]

With like half a gazillion member changes, none are original! Norma Jean, same way, and sound even better!

​@Moths to the Flame not just a band.. an "idea" 😆 It's awesome people keep these names going

[@legendofthepwn2117]

Zao, the band, is itself an example of the Ship of Theseus thought experiment because all of the band members have been replaced over time since Zao first formed in the early 90's.

[@hardcorepoetic]

This is easily one of the best albums of Zao's career. An epic return to form.

[@fetoidlee7532]

This should have millions of views.

[@jasonweddington3782]

every metalcore band from the last 15+ years should pay zao royalties.... but what I love is no matter what tyoe of success these guys could get and 100% deserve, they will always be ZAO and make amazing music.

[@FoxyFoxyShazam]

That riff at the end is NASTY! You dirty, dirty boys. Can’t wait for the album to drop!

[@Re-Vital-Eyes]

I feel like this song really spans the entire catalogue from Where Blood and Fire onwards. The riffs, production, drumming and Dans vocals are reminiscent of all past Zao. And I'm here for it.

[@grandiose_3392]

🤘🏼

[@davieboy3814]

It doesn’t get any better than Zao.

[@stevedixon9734]

This is criminal that I’ve missed this album for years. Last I remember they followed up Funeral with an overly raw album of really good songs, rereleases and compilations, and now Crimson has just been chillin at the bottom of my algorithm? Why aren’t bands paid at least 50% of profits for all time? The band created something timeless, the labels got the music to the public once. Great job. Here’s your one time check

[@jeromesimon8916]

This is super tight sounding literally controlled chaos... love the drony dark tones and the guitars sound sweeeet... gives me the late 90s early 2000s feels.....

[@grandiose_3392]

Aged like a fine wine. Zao is pure

[@codexnecrogeddon]

I've been a Zao fan since I was 14, back in 2003. I had found Blood & Fire and it was like nothing I'd heard before. I've gotten a lot older and listened to thousands of other bands at this point... But this song right here is why I still love this band. What a great fucking track.

[@Squeedle-zx2fh]

If I still had JNCO jeans, I swear to god I’d be wearing them right now. This takes me back to 1997 & I’m here for it ALL. GOAT STATUS CONFIRMED

[@rikodesinko]

You know the one thing that always remains the same? The fact that nothing can stay the same.

[@clubgrubbug]

Zao albums are always titled in a way that matches whatever major change is going on in my life when they drop. Case in point, I recently moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama - home of the Crimson Tide - for a job. Have also been thinking about and talking about the Ship of Theseus a lot since getting here. Ya'll creepy.

[@bendclxvi9853]

If you are here. You are at the right place in time

[@caseygroves3046]

Excellent. So consistent with the spirit of ZAO.

[@DanBieranowski]

Them riffs tho.

[@matthewrowles6881]

I absolutely LOVE Zao. Been a huge fan since "Where blood and fire..." . Hugely underappreciated. Its pretty cool the singer is my best friends cousin as well

[@danieldukes7297]

GNARLY GROOVES DETECTED! 😎😎😎

[@MTSpade]

as with everything zao does lately, absolutely crushing

[@jonathanolson1185]

Been listening for about 20 years. Since "Liberate" and this just has all the feels of Zao all over it. So stoked for this album.

[@jameskultra]

Zao forever! Still amazed by this record.

[@fettadi3]

Loving Zao since 1997

[@atonal_ascent]

This is awesome! Who are the two ass hats that thumbs downed this?

[@JustRyan420]

Been a Zao fan since the beginning. A huge influence for me. Been singing death metal and hardcore since 93 and Zao for sure helped me.

[@BirdOfHermes8381]

Got any of your music on here?

[@MDF87]

Jesus Christ that's heavy as fuck.

[@whatever4561]

I think this is a reference to the fact that the members of Zao have changed so many times that no original members remain. Its interesting how in spite of that, they have retained the majority of the bands signature sound and in some ways even evolved beyond it.

[@MegaLuxury1]

Dude, the core of zao and the shape they are since 24 years are all there, zao start to be who they are with dan, russ and scott.

[@Mr.Bungle03]

This song is slap city. Still kickin ass after all these years!!

[@nonsensicaljinglesbymattde8549]

Man this is a killer tune. I’m foaming at the mouth wanting more!!

[@CurtisKlope]

Confirmed: Wandavision writers listen to Zao

[@gordemn]

Of course where else could they have heard of such an obscure and complex philosophical concept.

[@CurtisKlope]

@@gordemn precisely

[@jdeg4281]

Can a band without the original members still call themselves the original name. The answer, in all its philosophical musings, is most definitely...yes!!

[@CurtisKlope]

@@jdeg4281 I consider Dan an honorary original member haha

[@jeromesimon8916]

Wandavision...? Ok..

[@ignatiusmichaelscc2862]

Man, the visuals in this is absolutely amazing. It’s unique to their style. I love it.
