Zygote Reissue 1991 Album ‘A Wind Of Knives’

Following the 1987 breakup of Amebix, three of the four members, along with Smartpils bassist Tim Crow, went on to form Zygote in 1988. In the short 3-year existence of the band, they managed to produce a 1990 demo tape and a 1991 full-length, “A Wind of Knives”. Pine Hill Records have now released the first ever US issue of “A Wind Of Knives” as a limited pressing of 250 pieces on silver vinyl. This obscure, yet underground appreciated album is a lyrically grim, musically haunting piece that sits somewhere between post-punk, crust and the Amebix sound. This dark, experimental album allows you to hear the direction Amebix would have gone in had they stayed together.
