Philadelphia's Zorn returns with a new album for Sorry
State, Return to Castle Death. While the two years since
Endless Funeral have seen Zorn's stage show grow
increasingly surreal and elaborate (giant Kaiju-style
monsters and oversized medieval weaponry are now regular
features of their gigs), Return to Castle Death finds
the band whittling things down musically, giving us a
meaner, leaner, and more riff-focused Zorn than we've
heard previously. But while these seven tracks feel more
straightforward, the hallmarks of Zorn's sound are still
here in force: the blackened punk riffs, virtuosic
drumming, touches of neoclassical melody, and vocals
that can can move from a Sakevi-influenced gurgle to a
banshee death howl in the space of a line. There are
also a few new twists, like the warped organ solo at the
climax of album-closer "Guest of the Mad Prince." And
make sure to pick up the physical version, because the
vinyl features an exclusive bonus track: a cover of
Annihilation Time's modern classic "Bald Headed Woman"
put through Zorn's metal-punk meat grinder.
