HIGH FLYING PROGRESSIVE METAL CREW ROOT ZERO RELEASE NEW SINGLE FROM DEBUT ALBUM!
9th May 2025Fast rising Welsh riff slingers ROOT ZERO will reveal their massively engrossing debut album, Dark Rainbow, on Friday 16th May. The popular progressive metallers have just unleashed their powerful new single and video, Ignis Fatuus
Dispatching an array of influences that stem from Soundgarden and Deftones, through to Cult of Luna and Katatonia, ROOT ZERO are a unique and irresistible proposition. The fascinating six-piece draw in from the world of gothic and progressive metal to deliver twisting and atmospheric slabs of sophisticated metal that are fastidiously constructed with precise detail and earnest passion.
Initially formed as a solo project by multi-instrumentalist Giacomo Fiderio, ROOT ZERO extended their sound and grew over the years, and by 2022, a full band line up was constructed featuring Sasha Bannister (lead vocals), Giacomo Fiderio (keyboards/co-lead vocals), Llyr Williams (guitar), Wren Wood (guitar), Rob Edwards (bass), and Joshua Powell-Gibbs (drums). ROOT ZERO ploughed forward and locked down in the studio to release their debut EP, The Weight of What I Started, in 2023. Live performances soon took shape, and the sextet quickly picked up a stellar reputation for producing stunning live shows. This is demonstrated by the band unanimously winning last year’s South Wales’s Bloodstock Metal 2 The
Masses competition. ROOT ZERO also went on to perform at Bloodstock Festival
and wooed audiences with a formidable and hugely powerful set.
With their name already well known, ROOT ZERO are set to charge onwards, and have just finished work on their explosive debut album, Dark Rainbow. The release is fused with absorbing cuts of intense metal combined with authority, groove, atmospherics and craft. With many live performances on the way, and further singles in the pipeline, the coming months and beyond will be extremely busy for ROOT ZERO.
ROOT ZERO are: Sasha Bannister: Lead Vocals; Giacomo Fiderio: Keyboards/Co-lead vocals; Llyr Williams: Guitar; Wren Wood: Guitar; Rob Edwards: Bass; Joshua Powell-Gibbs: Drums.
