| Band biography |
ZEBULON PIKE combines the impact of metal with the considered approach of "art" music. The result is a rather refined, muted aggression necessary for inciting the slow motion apocalypse.
ZEBULON PIKE appeared at the "Best New Bands of 2003" showcase at Minneapolis' famed First Avenue nightclub in early 2004. The band was also named "Best New Band of 2004" by the twin cities news and arts weekly "City Pages" in April 2004.
After appearing at the 2004 "Emissions from the Monolith" festival near Youngstown, Ohio, ZEBULON PIKE released its debut album "And Blood Was Passion" in June. With 4 of the album's 5 tracks clocking in near 10 minutes or more, "And Blood was Passion" is a compositional tour de force.
ZEBULON PIKE was awarded "Best Hard Rock Group" and "Best Hard Rock Recording" at the 2004 Minnesota Music Awards.
In March 2005, the band was one of the few rock acts showcased in the Walker Art Center's "Festival Dancing In Your Head". This New Music festival featured such luminaries as: The Bang On A Can All-Stars, The Bad Plus, and Ornette Coleman.
ZEBULON PIKE once again had the honor of being awarded "Best Hard Rock Group" at the 2006 Minnesota Music Awards.
ZEBULON PIKE released their follow-up full-length album, "Zebulon Pike II : The Deafening Twilight" in June of 2006. Even darker and more progressive than it's predecessor, the album fuses elements of avant-garde composition, free improvisation, and doomy heavy metal. In keeping with the tradition of epic compositions, "Zebulon Pike II : The Deafening Twilight" features two 13+ minute and two 20+ minute tracks.
ZEBULON PIKE regularly shares the stage with contemporary genre-mates like Orthrelm, Zombi, Juicifer, Pelican, YOB, Hammers of Misfortune, as well as time-tested veterans like The Hidden Hand, Debris Inc., and Blue Cheer.
ZEBULON PIKE's music is an intriguing mixture of melodic melancholy, old-school guitar-isms, and Wagnerian dynamics that marks a mighty presence in the world of heavy music.
