While the two years since \u003cem\u003eEndless Funeral\u003c\/em\u003e have seen Zorn’s stage show grow increasingly surreal and elaborate (giant Kaiju-style monsters and oversized medieval weaponry are now regular features of their gigs), \u003cem\u003eReturn to Castle Death\u003c\/em\u003e finds the band whittling things down musically, giving us a meaner, leaner, and more riff-focused Zorn than we’ve heard previously. But while these seven tracks feel more straightforward, the hallmarks of Zorn’s sound are still here in force: the blackened punk riffs, virtuosic drumming, touches of neoclassical melody, and vocals that can can move from a Sakevi-influenced gurgle to a banshee death howl in the space of a line. There are also a few new twists, like the warped organ solo at the climax of album-closer “Guest of the Mad Prince.” And make sure to pick up the physical version, because the vinyl features an exclusive bonus track: a cover of Annihilation Time’s modern classic “Bald Headed Woman” put through Zorn’s metal-punk meat grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLP comes with lyric insert and 24\"x36\" poster.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Sorry State Records","offers":[{"title":"orange vinyl","offer_id":48357489639678,"sku":"260614801","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"black vinyl","offer_id":48357484167422,"sku":"260614800","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/files\/zornorange.jpg?v=1781538156","url":"https:\/\/www.sorrystaterecords.com\/products\/zorn-return-to-castle-death-12-pre-order","provider":"Sorry State Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
