Each song on this album is a fast, frantic blast of metallic hardcore that kills you five times before you even hit the floor. Zombie Apocalypse’s new EP Life Without Pain Is A Fucking Fantasy picks up exactly where the band left off. A missed opportunity to see a band that put out less than a half-hour’s worth of music that I absolutely love. For fifteen years, that’s all I had to go on. Hell, I even have vocalist Ronen Kauffman’s book. There was also a cover of Welcome To The Jungle, but ehhhh that doesn’t really count. After that, I needed everything this band put out, which sadly wasn’t much: an eleven and a half minute EP, an awesome split with the equally awesome Send More Paramedics, and….that’s it. Just as immediately mad at myself for missing a set I would have loved. I was immediately hooked on a band featuring members of Shai Hulud, ., Deadwater Drowning, The Risk Taken, and other bands from that era. Fast forward a month after Hellfest and I’m listening to the 2004 sampler from Indecision Records featuring Zombie Apocalypse’s song The Dead In Queue.

One of the fun things about these types of shows, which has become a lost art-form, is getting all sorts of free samplers. I, um, might have been watching It Dies Today instead… It’s not like I even knew what they sounded like, I just enjoyed their name. Delightful! Sadly, it was not meant to be, but no big deal, I thought. If memory serves me correctly, they were even advertising a championship belt at their merch table to be given out to the best mosher during their set. Being a huge Romero fan and a fan of zombie-related media in general, I was immediately interested in catching Zombie Apocalypse’s after seeing their name name on the schedule. The Walking Dead television show was still years away.
That meant I missed Zombie Apocalypse.Īt the time, zombies were not the pop culture genre it has become. Unfortunately, that meant missing out on some performances that might have appealed. Okay, it was a mixed bag, but with 4 stages going across three days, there was a lot to see. Shadows Fall, Zao, Dillinger Escape Plan, uhhh 25 Ta Life.

Have you ever skipped out on seeing a band only to love them later on? At Hellfest 2004 (the American version) was full of some of the best and the most up-and-coming metal, metalcore, and hardcore bands of the time.
