Zao to release rarities compilation 'Preface: Early Recordings 1995-1996' in October
Metalcore outfit Zao will be looking at the past with their forthcoming rarities compilation.
The 14-track release includes material featuring founding vocalist Eric Reeder and Shawn Jonas, who appeared on the band’s first two albums: 1995’s All Else Failed and 1997’s The Splinter Shards the Birth of Separation. The compilation also includes a pair of songs from the Zao side project Monroe. The Treadwater 7” version of “Repressed” can be streamed below.
Pre-orders for the compilation, which will be released on October 9 can be made on Zao’s Bandcamp page. The 25th anniversary vinyl pressing of All Else Failed will also be released that day. Pre-orders for that can be found here.
Zao are putting the finishing touches on the follow up to 2016’s The Well-Intentioned Virus.
