ZED’S NOT DEAD, BABY. ZED’S NOT DEAD.

Reader Ben Feiner tipped us off to the existence of Germany’s Zed, who should now have their spot reserved for a future installment of “Saturday Song to Get Stoned To.” This band rocks, dude. Instrumental stretches of psychedelia give way to chunky riffage; the singer howls like a madman screaming into the storm; the drums have a surprising amount of bounce n’ swing to them. Think Mastodon, Kylesa, etc., and you’ll have some sense of how this band sounds.

The best part: they have a member whose entire job is just to make visuals. They’re not quite Tool quality, but they’re still pretty decent:

Now there’s a band that understands its fanbase.

Check out Zed here.
