Most bands that I post on this blog I will scream and moan how they were so underappreciated... and I'm going to do it again for Song Of Zarathustra. They deserve it more than most. Hailing from Oakland, Song Of Zarathustra fit perfectly in with the California tradition of bands like Angel Hair, Heroin, and even the Locust. They are as abrasive as those bands at times but Song Of Zarathustra's songs are actually catchy and infectious; something their predecessors sometimes avoided at all costs.

Could you believe that I've heard about them before but haven't expected any good from them?!!
Yeah, I was a bloody idiot...
Another great post on METRO/SEA blog!!! Thanks!!!
thanx! i can understand passing them off. i almost did myself. i'm glad you gave them a chance :)
amazing band!
Just found that post. You're definitely right 'bout Song Of Zarathustra. Though, they sadly don't exist any longer as a band, they were/are underappreciated. But if you like 'em you should as well check out e.g. Amanda Woodward, JR Fuckin' Ewing, Volt, ...
Woah, crazy! I found this blog at random (great job, by the way! Brought back some memories!)
Anyhow, is there a way I can get in touch/email ya? I was in S.o.Z. as well as Chariots(A.N.) and would love to fill in the blanks with the band history. For one, we were from Sioux City, IA, broke up in 98, relocated to Minneapolis and reformed there in 2000. Our guitarist lived in Oakland for a year, so maybe that where some confusion came in.
Regardless, thanks for the props!

Hey Travis - sorry for the confusion. I dodnt mean to say you guys were from San diego but fit in with the san diego sound. My myspace is www.myspace.com/metrosea i'd love to hear from you.
Thanks - nick
first record = amazing. i remember when i was younger and listened i thought a couple songs sounded like refused. havent heard it since then. saw the second record in my collection today and almost played it.
A- though for the most hideous colored vinyl I've ever seen!
Just a heads up: Song of Zarathustra reunion in the Twin Cities this December or next January. Should be fun.
Awesome, thanks for the downloads!
Saw these guys live long long ago, have a different release but not these. Sill have a patch of theirs around here somewhere.
