Zombie Zombie: Erebus video

A new video for the track Erebus from Zombie Zombie, with some appropriately creepy imagery.

The clip features the inhabitants of the Musée des Automates de Limoux, a collection of over 100 automats set up with theatrical backdrops and lighting.

A trio of Etienne Jaumet, Cosmic Neman and Dr Schönberg, Zombie Zombie have been active since 2007 when they released their A Land for Renegades album. 

Their 2010 release Zombie Zombie Plays John Carpenter, where they performed works by the legendary filmmaker and composer, saw the band gain widespread recognition for their work. For an act who were themselves inspired by the worlds of horror and fantasy, the decision to cover John Carpenter was a good one.

They've gone on to release further albums, including 2012's Rituels d'un Nouveau Monde and 2016's Slow Future. Following the John Carpenter album, they have themselves been involved in soundtrack works including Irréprochable in 2016, and L’Heure de la sortie in 2019. 

You'll also find some well-chosen covers in their back catalogue, from Suicide's Dream Baby Dream to Sun Ra's Rocket Number 9 via New Order's The Beach, an instrumental version of Blue Monday.

The song for their new video features on their Vae Vobis album, available on Born Bad records, which was released in March last year.
