After playing alongside such Northern Irish talent as Annapurna and Triggerman in the past, it’s time to make way for Zia Régime to make their own mark on the Northern Irish music scene, and ‘For Neither God, Nor Master’ should do just that.
David McDonough – Lead Vocals,
David Carlin – Guitar,

Conor Somers – Bass,
Eamonn McNaught – Drums.
‘Waves of Anxiety’, a sort of intro to the album is filled with atmosphere; no vocals, just mournful guitar, splashing symbols and rolling drums. Other personal favourites include ‘Solitaire,’ a song which has a sort of Avenged Sevenfold feel, ‘Plutonian Aftershock’ with its wailing riffs, catchy vocals and relentless drums, and ‘Shadow Games’ which has a distinctly Mastodon feel.
I was more than pleasantly surprised when listening to this album and can’t wait to hear what Zia Régime have in store for us in the future!

I'm 20 years old, studying Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like reading, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV.
