Zao mp3

Zao is a metalcore band from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, which is widely considered to have pioneered the boundaries of Christian metal music. Founded in 1993 in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Zao has hosted several musicians and endured numerous roster changes to a point where no original members remain.

Zao began as an evangelical group of acquaintances with a passion for aggressive music. After recording a series of demos, two EPs, two full-length albums, and completing a number of tours, the group dissolved in 1997. Drummer Jesse Smith, faced with the task of assembling a new lineup, recruited Daniel Weyandt, a vocalist whose talents impressed Smith and gave the band's style a new direction. Though Weyandt has since vacated the band on at least two occasions, his guttural and abrasive voice has been considered one of Zao's primary draws in recent years. Today, Weyandt, along with guitarist Scott Mellinger, bassist and former Zao tour manager Marty Lunn, and drummer Jeff Gretz, comprise the roster. Jesse Smith was eventually released from his own band and started the now defunct band Gods.
