There are at least 2 bands going by the name “Zombi” :
1. Producing work that is epic in concept, sound, and artistic approach, Steve Moore and A.E. Paterra, the masterminds and multi-instrumentalists behind Zombi, have re-imagined the architecture of progressive rock and dynamic instrumentals -carving a niche in underground music distinctly their own.
The band’s signature sound, achieved using only electric bass, drums, and a collection of analog synthesizers, is deceptively lush considering its two man skeleton crew ensemble. Moore’s bass playing and meticulous synthesizer programming interacts seamlessly with Paterra’s controlled, precision drumming -as if each man is anticipating his counterpart’s next move. Punctuated by Moore and Paterra’s seasoned songwriting skills, each Zombi song -whether grand in design like “Night Rhythms” from the band’s forthcoming LP or powerful and driving like “Orion,” the opening track on Cosmos -is entirely autonomous and true to the duo’s creative vision.
“I bring a lot of skeletal ideas to the table -basslines, sequences, and drum parts. Steve will then craft them into complete songs,” Paterra explains. “There is a musical trust that exists between us that allows for full exploration of all ideas. We are perfectionists, sometimes to a fault, but I think it is a quality that lends itself well to the music.”

Sorry, I don't hear any progressive rock sound, or death metal. I only listened to 4 complete tracks from various albums, but I hear much more minimalism and trance than the above two. Not saying that's a good or bad thing since it's all relative to the listener, but just what I'm hearing anyhow.

Only now listening to Spirit Animal for the first time, but the previous works have led me to believe these are easily the best and most creative act on Relapse today, Surface To Air is amazing and I'm sure this will be every bit as good.
