Zero
Cipher was formed by four young men in Surrey, Great Britain, in 1998.
Influenced by various bands and artists like Nick Cave, Glassjaw, Tool, Raging
Speedhorn, Haste and Earthtone9 they started working hard on getting their
band name known to the world. Results were soon to be seen and now they have
signed a deal with their native label Casket Music (a division of Copro
Records). With Rob Zombie-like samples, extreme hardcore vocals coupled with
clean choruses and a heavy metallic metalcore / neometal edge. They have
already been hailed as one of the most promising hard and heavy British bands
at the moment by the media in their home country and have even been referred
to as "pure genius" by Rancid-News.co.uk. This is a big exaggeration in my
opinion but I have to agree with them that the music of Zero Cipher does show
some interesting features. While being both aggressive and a headbanger's
delight they are also able to incorporate atmospheric elements into their
sound as well as weird and twisted electronics here and there. I wouldn't say
that it's a masterpiece or even an album that I would buy in a store but if
you like metal / hardcore hybrid bands in general then Zero Cipher should have
something to offer. Old fans of the band will also be happy to see that they
have included a second cd with their self-released mini album "45rpm" for
free. Guest appearances from Paul Catten (ex-Medulla Nocte, Murder One) and
Choff (Snub). Stand-out tracks: "Filth" (from the mini
album...).
