Track Premiere: Psalm Zero: ‘Animal Outside.’

January 10, 2020 Albert Mudrian
Streaming, Track Premiere, Videos alternative metal, Post Metal, premiere, psalm zero.

Decibel‘s soft spot for cleanly-sung, borderline alt and goth metal is well documented (hello, Publicist UK, Idle Hands and In Solitude!), but New York City-based Psalm Zero, the trio led by guitarist/singer/songwriter Charlie Looker, have been at it longer that most post-metallers. The band has just announced their third album, Sparta, which will see release in on February 24 via Looker’s own Last Things Records and we’ve got the first — and perhaps sweetest — taste in the form of “Animal Outside.”

“This is the most alternative rock/pop oriented song on the record,” Looker tells Decibel. “Lyrically, it deals with anxiety over the death of Humanism, and the Human as a concept, under assault by the Dark Enlightenment, and by the rise of artificial intelligence. It shifts between sad, resigned fatalism, and warm, romantic, almost religious resistance.”

Preorder Sparta on LP and digital here.
