Following a monstrously successful launch show at Rough Trade Liverpool last weekend, Merseyside horror punks Zombina and The Skeletones are delighted to release their new album The Call of Zombina, which is out now on local independent imprint 9x9 Records.
The Call Of Zombina is available now on CD, vinyl, and digital formats, plus a very limited edition box set which is already sold out.
To celebrate the release, the band recently revealed a video for latest single ‘Don’t Kick My Coffin’ which is out now and available to stream on all good digital service providers, and shared a full live stream concert 'Live and Under A Hearse' which is also available to watch on YouTube.
Just in time for Halloween, Zombina and the Skeletones are returning from the dead to bring you their first full-length album in ten years—The Call Of Zombina!
After officially coming out of retirement in 2023 with a heart-shaped split single with cult American horror-punks Blitzkid—a single that sold out within 20 minutes of its release, no less—and a surprise TV placement (‘Zombie Hop’ and ‘I Was A Teenage Frankenstein’ turned up unexpectedly in the Extraordinary Halloween Special on Disney+) the only thing left to do for “The Band Under Your Bed” was to return to the studio.
In this case, a creepy old church in Liverpool was the perfect location to make their first album in ten years, with Stephen Cole from the avant garde 'post-music' act a.P.A.t.T producing, and local label 9x9 Records in charge of the physical release.
New album The Call Of Zombina is Hammer Horror melodrama as art-therapy, the punk roots of goth-rock meets the strings and harpsichords of baroque, with new drummer "All Hallow's" Eve Barnes adding a previously unheard power to the ZATS sound.
The Call Of Zombina seeks to mirror the classic portmanteau horror of 'The House That Dripped Blood' or 'Asylum', with each track telling its own self-contained story. Musically it's death rock/baroque, Joe Meek and James Bernard meets The Damned uptown.
Lyrically, the schlocky Americanisms of old have been eschewed in favour of the no less pulpy vernacular of Pan Classics paperbacks, and of course the whole thing was recorded in an old spooky church, to capture some of that creaky atmosphere and gigantic reverb.
Six deformed rock’n’roll monsters from Liverpool, England, local heroes Zombina and the Skeletones have been mixing garage punk and girl-group pop with spooked out surf-a-billy sonics since 1998, after founding members Zombina and Doc Horror met at a high school Halloween party and fell into a teenage romance.
They've shared stages with Shonen Knife, The Horrors, GWAR, Wednesday 13, The Damned, The Meteors and The Misfits (to name but a few), and have been invited to drag their blood-spattered live show as far out as Finland, Sicily, Greece and the Czech Republic.
Zombina’s music has also been featured in the TROMA movies Shakespeare’s Sh*tstorm and Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead, and most recently in the Halloween special episode of Extraordinary on Disney+.
