A week ahead of releasing a new new album, Zealot R.I.P. has a brand new video out now for the song "Covered In Flies."
The band, was formed by familiar scene faces Jason Hamacher (Frodus, Battery, CombatWoundedVeteran) and Mike Schleibaum, (Darkest Hour) who recruited Blake Harrison (Pig Destroyer) and Peter Tsouras (Fairweather) with the intention to play heavy and hard, metallic hardcore. The band released a self-titled EP in 2019 ion Three One G and now follows it up with The Extinction of You, due on Sept. 10.
Speaking of the band's formation, Schleibaum says:
I’ve taken a different approach from any other project or band I’ve been in. Zealot is sort of a return to my early days in music. We write songs pretty quick and usually end up keeping the first takes. I’ve always appreciated Jason’s creative raw energy on the drums and this project is a direct reflection of that. Combine the unique perspectives of Peter and Blake, and the result is explosive visual energy personified in song form.
