Song of Zarathustra - The Birth of Tragedy



Year: 2000
Genre: Screamo
Label: Blood of the Young/Troubleman Unlimited (click link to purchase)


Song of Zarathustra is a great screamo band and, judging from the date of this full-length's release, experienced its hay day before I was allowed to go to shows. (Well bummer!) Unlike your typical picks Saetia and Orchid, this band isn't as well-recognized as its contemporaries - they're quite underrated within the genre. What I find fascinating about this band is the keyboard addition, because the band syncs in gothic organ lines as if the relationship between screamo and church organs has been meant to be all along. You're more likely to headbang bodybang to this one than cry. I am obsessed with "Mess of Zero".
