Band BIO

Kamikaze Zombie was formed in Birmingham Alabama, by founding member and New Orleans native Clint Spain in 2014.Before Clint moved back to his home town of New Orleans,  He and a few longtime friends started jamming just for fun and later they became more serious. These jam sessions would become Kamikaze Zombie. In late 2015, Kamikaze Zombie started to make moves coining the term “Horror Crossover” to describe their sound, they would play only three local shows, before they landed their first local opening slot for international act Decapitated. This show opened the door for Kamikaze Zombie and in 2016 Kamikaze Zombie kicked off their first tour playing the southeast, as well as playing a slew of local shows and opening for more national acts. Despite a revolving door of member changes, largely due to members not wanting to tour at the level KZ wanted to work, Kamikaze zombie continued to move forward with the motto “nothing stops the KZ train”. Kamikaze Zombie entered the studio for the first time in 2017 to record their first album “Night of the Nuberus” recorded by Matt Washburn, (who is best known for recording the band Mastodon ), at Leadbelly Sound Studio in Dawsonville Georgia. Despite not being signed to a major label, Kamikaze Zombie, with the help of Clawhammer PR, were able to obtain radio play and magazine reviews in various countries worldwide. Throughout 2017, Kamikaze Zombie continuously toured playing anywhere and everywhere. In 2018 Kamikaze Zombie released their first music video for the song " The Story of Jane Doe," directed and filmed by 1931 Productions, which currently has over 100k views. They also, returned to work with Washburn and Leadbelly Sound Studio to record their second album. On May 25, 2019 “The Destroyer of All things” was released.  

 

In Feb of 2020 Kamikaze Zombie Played their last show due to Covid-19 with Child Bite. In March of 2020 they cancelled their three-week west coast tour, this tour included show dates with, Today is the Day, Pro-pain and Child Bite. Despite the hardships of COVID-19, Kamikaze Zombie brought in Trevor Edwards on Drums, and Oliver Stansell on bass and continued to remain focused by appearing in various podcast, releasing a lyric video for the song “Into the Nothing” off their last full length “The Destroyer of All Things” and they released a New Year’s Eve “LIVE” stream via YouTube. On Halloween of 2020 Kamikaze Zombie released a five song covers EP (recorded at Leadbelly) titled “Fiends of The Night” which paid tribute to some of their favorite hardcore/crossover acts like, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, Crowbar, Negative Approach and HateBreed.

But in pure Kamikaze Zombie fashion they were able to persevere by bring in longtime friend Lee Kader on guitar. Since then shows have picked up, post pandemic, Kamikaze Zombie has gotten back to work in a big way, playing festivals and touring with such bands as Yatra and Nest. Spending a year under the management of John Jarvis of Pig Destryer, Scour and Nest, Kamikaze Zombie was able to capitalize on the opportunity by making countless lifetime connections and friendships.
