Here is the information about Direct Inject

ZOMBI make their long awaited return with their new album, Direct Inject! Capturing the spirit of previous albums like Escape Velocity and Surface To Air, while expanding the band’s sonic palette into territory, ranging from 80’s synth rock (“Direct Inject”) to saxophone-heavy slow jams (“Sessuale II”). Direct Inject is essential ZOMBI, and quite possibly their most diverse and engaging record yet. You can’t help but get carried up in the slipstream of tracks like “Bodies in the Flotsam”, the hard rock/synth strut of “Kamichi & Sandy”, the guttural dirge of “The Post-Atomic Horror”, or the heady sonic touches of “Insurmountable Odds”.

The spirit of improvisation permeates ZOMBI’s newest opus, opening a door into the compositional world Steve Moore and A.E. Paterra exist within and have existed in since the beginning. Direct Inject is ZOMBI in their finest form; taking improvisations and mining them for gold.

 

The energy behind Direct Inject is palpable; as Steve Moore sums up the band’s ethos perfectly: “I love what can happen when you roll tape and just go for it.”

 

On Direct Inject, ZOMBI indeed go for it.

411mania.com praises New York Ninja score!

Thank you for the kind words, 411mania.com, on our film score to New York Ninja! 411mania.com praises New York Ninja score!

The soundtrack, performed by the group Voyag3r, is absolute perfection. Chock full of synth heavy themes, it’s the kind of music you would expect to hear in a low budget movie from the 1980’s. The music doesn’t feel like a parody of 1980’s music, which is always a plus (I’ve heard far too many “1980’s inspired synth scores” that sound like a bunch of people fucking around. That kind of thing needs to stop). I wonder if Voyag3r, based on the greatness of its New York Ninja score, will get more movie soundtrack work? Hopefully, they will.

Our score to New York Ninja is available on LP, CD and cassette from our official store, Voyag3rStore.com or all streaming platforms or our audio page. Enjoy!

San Francisco’s Another Hole in the Head film Festival is a 25-day cinematic excursion into the realms of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and assorted other genre fare. Under the auspices of SF IndieFest, ‘AHITH’ has an 20-year tradition of pulling together diverse Independent films of all varieties and budgetary considerations–from major productions by professional companies to micro-budget labors of love, and everything in between. This year’s festival runs December 1st – December 25th, 2023 . The festival will take place live in San Francisco at the ROXIE, 4STAR , BALBOA and ECLECTIC BOX theaters. It will be available On-Demand via the Eventive platform, plus live online screenings with audience interaction and filmmaker Q&A on the Zoom platform.

​With this festival, we seek broader horizons than the common interpretation of “genre film” allows. All styles of independent film are welcome to compete: whether it’s a major production from a professional company, a student film, or a micro-budget labor of love, we are committed to giving each film due consideration.
