Buzz-Works - Zombie Influx [CD]

The dead are rising from their graves in search of human prey. Sharpen your axes, barricade your doors! Zombie Influx brings the living dead to your doorstep with this creepy concept album that creates the horror and panic of a zombie invasion through the use of frantic emergency news broadcasts, ambient sound effect tracks and ominous cinematic music. A lifelong fan of George Romero's classic zombie films, as well as Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" series, Jeff Hartz was inspired to create Zombie Influx as a tribute to the movies that warped his mind. Teaming with Joseph Vargo of Nox Arcana, they set out to capture the terror of a zombie invasion along the lines of the 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast. The result is a dark atmospheric soundscape that paints a bleak portrait of a world ravaged by the living dead.
