BLENDING ALTERNATIVE HARD ROCK WITH THE RHYTHMIC AND UNCOMPROMISING INTENSITY OF METAL, LOS ANGELES-BASED ZERO THEOREM HAS DRAWN EARLY COMPARISONS TO DISTURBED, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, AND TOOL. THEIR FIRST SINGLE “AREA” HAS STEADILY CLIMBED THE ACTIVE ROCK RADIO CHARTS SINCE LATE 2017.

ZERO THEOREM INITIALLY DEVELOPED AS A CROSS-COUNTRY COLLABORATION BETWEEN COUSINS CAESAR (BASED IN CHICAGO) AND JOE SCARLOTTI (LOS ANGELES), WHO BEGAN WRITING SONGS BY SENDING DIGITAL FILES TO ONE ANOTHER. AS THEIR CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPED, CAESAR RELOCATED TO LA TO FURTHER HIS MUSICAL AMBITIONS. THEY RECORDED THE INITIAL ZT DEMOS IN 2017. THEN, THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH AND NETWORKING IN THE LOS ANGELES MUSIC SCENE, THE BAND CAME TOGETHER WITH GUITARIST MAX GEORGIEV, BASSIST ELOY PALACIOS, AND DRUMMER JAKE HAYDEN.

THE DEMOS WERE HONED INTO FINISHED SONGS WITH PRODUCER KANE CHURKO (PAPA ROACH, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, IN THIS MOMENT). CAESAR SAYS “KANE IS IMMEASURABLY TALENTED AND HAS MADE US BETTER SONGWRITERS BY HELPING TO EMPHASIZE OUR STRENGTHS AND EXPLORE NEW TERRITORY.”

THE BAND HAS GAINED NOTORIETY QUICKLY AS A LIVE ACT BY PERFORMING WITH DOYLE, HED PE, ART OF DYING, AND MOTOGRATER, AMONG OTHERS.

ZERO THEOREM’S SOUND, SAYS CAESAR “IS GROOVE METAL WITH BIG MELODIES AND SOME PROGRESSIVE MATERIAL MIXED IN. HEAVY MUSIC ITSELF IS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE, AND WE STRIVE TO EMBODY THAT WITH BOTH SUBSTANCE AND WIT.”

ZERO THEOREM’S DEBUT EP, ATARAXIS WILL BE RELEASED ON MAY 4^TH, 2018 THROUGH TUNECORE ON SHIM SHAM, LLC.
