Another group that I thought was long gone. They reformed recently without twin brother bassist Troy.

Specs of Pictures Burnt Beyond (2006)

This CD is what made me think of the band in the first place. I haven't heard any Zero Hour in many years, and these CDs (I have four of them) are gathering dust on the shelf. I had this one rated as the lowest. Well, then, I guess I'm in for a treat when I get back to the other three! The best comparison I've read about the band in general is that of Watchtower meets Meshuggah. You get the technicality, melodicism, and high pitched voice of the former with the sheer heaviness and calculating rhythms of the latter. Nothing sits still for too long, and the music will challenge your synapses.
