Zilch is the title of two different artistic groups.
The first is a project founded by Hideto “hide” Matsumoto in 1995 during a stay in Los Angeles.
Zilch was intended to launch an English-speaking market for hide. At its core, hide was joined by two English musicians; guitarist Ray McVeigh who had previously played with members of the Sex Pistols in a band called The Professionals, and bassist Paul Raven of Killing Joke. To complete the line-up American drummer Joey Castillo (now of the “Queens of the Stone Age” fame) and I.N.A, a good friend of hide and member of his solo band “hide with Spread Beaver” in Japan joined the group.
The band was first mentioned in hide’s personal online blog in January 1998 when the video for “Electric Cucumber” was released on Japanese music television. hide said that the band had recorded the particular song and video in 1996 but its release was delayed due to the adult nature of the themes it dealt with. hide said that the he planned to release an album with the band which had already been completed the previous year as well as concentrate on live work with the group. It has now transpired that the band were set to tour with American alternative act Marilyn Manson, the lead singer of which hide was friends with and gave a special “thanks” to in the album notes for his “Psyence” CD.
It was not to be; hide died on May 2, 1998.
The album was released on schedual and is regarded as being close to how it was originally intended with only post production work been contributed after hide’s passing.

are there any other bands that sound like zilch? not like X JAPAN, hide with Spread Beaver or Saver Tiger that last.fm reccomends. I find that marilyn manson may be something what hide would wanted to do (obviously there wouldnt be antichrist sort of lyrics but).

On wikipedia, though, they've been tagged as American, which is not correct either, as they were formed with two English members. To be fair, it was Hide's project I think, so I suppose you could call it Japanese.

Loved the band from the moment I heard Inside the Pervert Mound on the Heavy Metal 2k soundtrack. Took me years to find an actual copy of the CD. Partly my fault, I'll admit. I'll give my nominations to Swampsnake and What's Up Mr. Jones? as my favorite tracks aside from the previously mentioned 'Pervert Mound. Not to blatantly echo the person below me, but it needs to be said again. It's such a shame things ended the way they did.
