Product Information

Zatokrev, hailing from Basel in Switzerland, was founded by Silvio Spadino (drums), Marco Grementieri bass / samples) and Frederyk Rotter (guitar / vocals) in April 2002 to deliver a heavy load of dragging metal. After they recorded the self--titled debut album in their own rehearsal room, Zatokrev got a release through the UK label Codebreaker and Earache in North America and got only positive reviews in music magazines everywhere. Since then Zatokrev had many replacements of band members. Finally in 2011 a new fixed line-- up has been completed and the band is ready to tour again. Zatokrev recorded a new full--length album with Serge Morattel at the Rec Studio in Geneva, where many great albums from bands like Knut, Shora or Impure Wilhelmina have been produced already. The album called "The Bat, The Wheel and a Long Road to Nowhere" has been mixed, mastered and co--produced by Raphaël Bovey, also known as drummer from the band Kruger, to give it the final punch. Zatokrev have developed their music further through past years. The new album contains elements from Sludge, Stoner, Black Metal, Prog--Metal, Doom, Psychedelic Rock, Post-- Hardcore and shows more dynamics in song writing, instrumentation and a stronger variety of vocals. Since August 2012 the latest album -- "The Bat, The Wheel and a Long Road to Nowhere" is out worldwide on CD through Candlelight Records, who called Zatokrev ,one of the most forward--thinking and crushing bands in extreme music at the moment".

Rezensionen

Everything they do sounds immense, drenched in darkness, and eeriliy hypnotic - KERRANG (UK)

Der Tod mag ein Meister aus Deutschland sein, die Verzweiflung ist aber seine Gesellin aus der Schweiz, die in Zatokrev ihr Sprachrohr gefunden hat. - OX FANZINE (DE) 9 / 10

The Bat, The Wheel And A Long Road To Nowhere ist genau das Richtige für den nächsten viel zu sonnigen Sommertag: Danach sehnt man sich nach wärmenden Strahlen. Und wie. - METAL HAMMER 5.3 / 7 (DE)

Fazit: Alles stimmt, und die 14 Punkte sollten mit einer deutlichen Tendenz zur 15 zu verstehen sein. Man möchte allerdings noch etwas Luft nach oben lassen, denn wer weiß, wozu die Truppe noch fähig ist...? - MUSIKREVIEWS. DE 14 / 15 (DE)
