Mark Zero Releasing New Album "Ballistica"

After two years of dedication and hard work, Gothenburg metal band Mark Zero is gearing up to release debut full-length album "Ballistica" on November 21st. The album, which will be self-released by the band on all major digital platforms, shows of a dark and melodic yet raw approach to metal.

Frontman John NT explains, "The album has definitely got a 90’s vibe to it in many ways, the simple but honest sound of nu-metal and industrial metal from that era. The drums are raw, the guitars are gritty and muddy, and the vocals aren’t perfect. It’s just honest.”

Mostly recorded at the band's rehearsal space and mixed by guitarist Scott Crocker, drums were recorded in Sweden’s Boomtown Studios with producer Erik Berglund. The album deals with mental health and the day-to-day battles that are common in society today.

John NT comments: "Most of the songs feature some sort of antagonist, whether it be a person or just a mental concept. The overall theme of the album is definitely about fighting your way out of the mental jungle, no matter who gets a machete through their face on the way."

Album artwork was completed by singer John NT and represents the “feeling of one hand clinging for dear life to your current life while the other hand is trying to pull you down into the deep, dark sea. The question is which hand is the saboteur, the one hanging on or the one trying to get you loose. It’s hard to say if your current situation is far from perfect to begin with…”
