Italian noise trio ZU sounds like the musical manifestation of an ancient Lovecraftian beast rising after a long slumber. They conjure a growling, ungodly miasma of noise rock, avant-jazz, post-metal, and electronic music that seems to have been forged inside of some kind of underworld furnace.
If you can turn the heads of the likes of John Zorn and Mike Patton, indeed you must be doing something right. Paolo Mongardi’s tribalistic pulse, Massimo Pupillo’s rumbling bass and Luca Mai’s hellish sax skronk will rattle spirit and bone long after their combined might has been unleashed into the room.
