November 15, 2011, 12 years ago
Drummer Matt Holland (ex-MAN MUST DIE) has joined underground Scottish extreme band ZILLAH. Alongside Matt, the band has announced the additions of a new guitarist, Rob Coverdale, who joins existing members Roddy Anderson (vocals/guitar) and Tim Rasmussen (guitar).
Matt commented: "I'm looking forward to working with Zillah, a band that has stuck to its guns regardless of trends and now feels like the right time to be involved. With the addition of new members, the skill level is through the roof and some of the patterns and structures involved in the newer material present a challenge that I'm really excited to take up.”
The band has released practise room footage of Matt working through new material from their forthcoming album, which can be viewed below:
Zillah released the album, Substitute For ACatastrophe, in 2006 (currently available via Relapse Records), before going on hiatus due to lineup issues. With the new lineup in place the band has written an album worth of material and will enter the studio shortly to record.
A demo track is available to listen to here.
