ZONARIA's 'Spinal Tap'-Worthy Moment Captured On Video

February 10, 2011

Swedish death/black metal band ZONARIA experienced quite a "Spinal Tap"-worthy moment outside Novara, Italy on their latest European tour supporting NILE. They were playing the last song in their set and the circuit breaker to the entire venue blew on the last down beat of the song, in perfect sync, as if planned.

Guitarist Caleb Bingham states about the event: "The Gods must certainly detest us at least a bit less than previously thought because they've obviously listened to our music enough times to hit the breaker box in perfect sync with the end of our set. Thanks, guys."

Video footage of the incident can be viewed below.

ZONARIA last year completed work on its third album at Abyss studio in Sweden with producer Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY, SONIC SYNDICATE, HYPOCRISY, CENTINEX, CARNAL FORGE). A release date for the effort has not yet been announced

ZONARIA vocalist Simon Berglund previously stated about the upcoming CD: "I'm stoked about going into the studio with Jonas. He did an amazing job on [ZONARIA's 2007 release] 'Infamy And The Breed' and has done some more incredible work with other bands. And not to mention recording in studio Abyss for the first time. Many of our all-time favorites have recorded in that studio and something magic always happens with the albums recorded there."

ZONARIA's second full-length album, "The Cancer Empire", was released in the U.S. in January 2009 via Century Media Records.
