Formed in 2013, London-based band, ZOAX are a band set on creating music that inspire themselves in a seemingly stale and incestuous gene-pool.
Still retaining the heaviness of their peers whilst infusing a broad focus on groove and melody, the 5 piece have succeeded in moulding a sound that sets them apart from the monotony of the masses.
Feb 2014 saw the band introduce themselves to the world with debut EP, “XIII”.
(Siege of Amida / Century Media Records)
“XIII is a supremely confident introduction” – Kerrang “An Exhilarating thrill ride of power, emotion, subtlety and outright heaviness” – Rock Sound
Wetting the palate of all the listened, the release lead the band to it’s 2nd Download Festival performance (Pepsi Max Stage) and to tours with Cancer Bats, Polar, Feed The Rhino and He Is Legend. Drawing from a wealth of live experience in previous bands such as Rise To Remain, Axewound, Burn Down Rome and Time is a Thief, the seemingly young-group control a stage with the maturity and finesse of the old dogs. With a live show that combines neck-breaking ferocity with Dickensian charisma, ZOAX are quickly cementing themselves as a must-see live band.
“Enthralling and delivered without fault. ZOAX have something really special going on” – Punktastic (w/ Feed The Rhino @ The Quarterhouse, Folkestone – May 2014)
"Tight as hell, shifting the pace around with pinpoint precision” – Team Rock (w/ Funeral For A Friend @ The Underworld, London – April 2014)
Drawing from the wisdom gained over the past 12 months, the band have delivered 6 new tracks in their second E.P "Is Everybody Listening?" these tracks display a development nothing short of a marathon beyond previous efforts.
In Feb 2015 ZOAX released their second EP, "Is Everybody Listening?" Via Century Media Records
"The whole thing bristles with an energy that’s impossible to ignore". - Rocksound "Is everybody listening? They damn well should be". Bring The Noise UK
