Zess

The band was formed in 1987 in Genoa, Italy. Their primary influence was NWOBHM, American and Italian early doom metal scene (Pagan Altar, Trouble, Black Hole, etc.). Music varied from raw heavy metal to slow doom metal with atmosphere of horror movies. Lyrics were based on occultism, obscure tales and horror stories. The band performed some live sessions at Genova’s Hobbit Studios between December 1987 and February 1988. The songs were not released at that time and in 1988 the group disbanded. In 2004, the original tracks have been digitally restyled and totally re-mastered. They were collected onto compilation "Et In Arcadia Ego", released by Black Widow Records (BWR073).
