Darknight I don't normally buy instrumental albums but this is an exception. As soon as I read about Zahn having members of HEADS I was completely sold and I listened to the best instrumental album I've heard in ages, easily my fave album of that genre and it ROCKS!!! Favorite track: Schranck.

about

Zahn are a new instrumental (noise) rock group consisting of Nic Stockmann (Heads., ex-Eisenvater) Chris Breuer (Heads., ex-The Ocean) and Felix Gebhard (live-Einstürzende Neubauten).

A relentless exercise in rhythm and texture. Whether you love the hard riffs of Metz or The Jesus Lizard the big melodies of Torche or the swaggering sounds of The Desert Sessions Zahn packs a punch for you. Zahn is noise rock merging with sludge and post-punk in a spectacular threesome with avant-garde sensibilities presenting riffs and grooves in abstract patterns and rhythmic cycles all of which are backed by some seriously hard-hitting drums.

Musikexpress (DE)
"Zahn spielen ihren Instrumental-Rock auf international konkurrenzfähig hohem Niveau und könnten Szene-Segment-Veranstaltungen wie das Desert-Fest oder Roadburn-Festival genau so gut bereichern wie die kleinste Hurricane-Bühne nachts um zwölf zermalmen.“

The Quietus (UK)
"The first couple of tracks will remind you that The Jesus Lizard would've still been really great even if they didn't have David Yow hurling himself around at the front, yelling about autoerotic asphyxiation accidents, and pulling his pants down."

TAZ (DE)
"Diese Musik will nirgendwohin, sondern nur selbstgefällig um sich selbst kreisen, sie ist sich selbst genug und kann so - trotz aller Lautstärke und Kraftprotzerei - eine wundervolle, nahezu Zen-artige Ruhe ausstrahlen."

Berliner Zeitung (DE)
"Das rein instrumentale Debütalbum der Gruppe gehört zum Besten, was in diesem Jahr bis dato an Rockmusik aus Deutschland kam.“

Post-Punk (US)
"Hard hitting and free-flowing alike, Zahn is a great experimental undertaking avant la lettre, served with a German avant-garde sensibility.

The Obelisk (US)
"Its noise-rock angularity and tonal bite isn’t going to be for everyone, but there’s something about ZAHN‘s unwillingness to cooperate, their unwillingness to sit still, that makes their self-titled debut a joy of a run. You can take the ride if you want, but they’re going either way.“

Visions (DE):
„Instrumentale Songs, die die Genre-Grenzen von Noiserock, Sludge oder Post-Punk entspannt mit Avantgarde-Attitüde ignorieren. Treibende Rhythmen von Schlagzeug und Bass und erfinderische Sound-Texturen.“
