Zeitgeist Zero

Weaving Darkwave Elegance with Industrial Power

Hailing from the depths of the alternative music scene, anglo-irish Zeitgeist Zero’s unique sonic tapestry marries the intensity of heavy guitars with the allure of industrial electronics, all seamlessly woven together by the enchanting vocal prowess reminiscent of legendary figures like Debbie Harry and Shirley Manson.

Fronted by the enigmatic Teresa Dead, whose haunting vocals and poetic lyrics encapsulate the very essence of the darkwave aesthetic, Zeitgeist Zero beckons’ listeners into a world of mystery, introspection, and emotion. Corin Zero completes the band’s core, whose command over guitars and synths adds layers of atmosphere and intensity. Anchoring the ensemble is bassist Ian Grimm, a seasoned musician from illustrious acts like Rhombus and The Sisters of Murphy, whose rhythmic foundation provides the perfect underpinning for the band’s sonic explorations.

Zeitgeist Zero’s talent has not gone unnoticed by the press, with accolades pouring in from respected platforms including BBC Radio 6, Sonic Seducer, and Devolution. The band’s artistry has been nurtured by collaborations with some of the industry’s finest producers, including luminaries like Steve Whitfield (The Cure), John Fryer (NIN), and John Rivers (The Specials). These collaborations have breathed life into three albums and an EP that have collectively garnered international critical acclaim.

Zeitgeist Zero’s albums Dead To The World and The Blackout stand out as beacons of creativity, having both been crowned “Album of the Month” by the esteemed German music magazine Dark Spy. This recognition only further solidifies their status as purveyors of a sound that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide.

Zeitgeist Zero thrives on the live stage, gracing countless UK and European venues. These performances have forged an unbreakable bond between the band and their dedicated fanbase, nurturing a sense of camaraderie that transcends the music itself. Their presence at renowned festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen, Infest, and Whitby Goth Weekend, cemented their reputation as a must-see act in the alternative music circuit.

As they stand at the cusp of a new chapter in their journey, Zeitgeist Zero is set to unleash their fourth album, Meddling With The Forces. This highly anticipated offering promises to further redefine the contours of their genre, pushing boundaries while maintaining the signature elements that have endeared them to their listeners. The accompanying video singles, skillfully directed by the multi-talented Teresa, add a visual dimension to their artistry, bridging the realms of music and cinema. In a testament to their eclectic talents, two tracks from Meddling With The Forces have found a home in the upcoming comedy horror film How To Kill Monsters, a cinematic creation that had its world premiere at Leicester Square in London during Frightfest in August 2023.

Zeitgeist Zero is a beacon of sonic allure, carving a niche unmistakably theirs in a world where innovation meets tradition. Through their evocative music, their dynamic live performances, and forays into the realm of film, the band continues to push boundaries and shape the contours of the darkwave gothic landscape.
