Hallam: “Blazing Zombies is part raucously cathartic rant, stirred by so much anger, disaffection, and hatred in the air, and part personal reflection on our complicity in the systems that drive that division and disconnectedness – and the dreadful effects that it can have. A response to the everyday dissonance of extreme mundanity (‘please prepare to push your trolley off the end of the conveyor’ playing on repeat in a shopping mall) and apocalypse (‘please prepare for climate catastrophe’ playing on repeat on the news). At the end of the song the zombies express retrospective sorrow and regret at the havoc caused – a smidge of ironic humour and optimism survives! Happy Halloween!”
The official Blazing Zombies video was filmed in the Meka Space gallery and Black Lion in Bridlington and O’Riley’s Music Venue in Hull.
We had loads of fun making the video. We played our first gig as a four piece at O’Riley’s and invited the audience to dress as zombies for the live shots. Our fans certainly came up with the goods. You were terrifying!
