Inspired in equal parts by heavy sounds of the 70's
(Mountain, Pentagram, Captain Beyond, early Judas Priest),
progressive rock (King Crimson, Rush),
and 20th century classical (Bela Bartok, Arvo Part, Carl Ruggles and many others). ZEBULON PIKE combines the impact of metal with the considered approach of "art" music. The result is a rather refined, muted aggression necessary for inciting the slow motion apocalypse.
The music is an intriguing mixture of melodic melancholy, old-school guitar-isms, and Wagnerian dynamics.
