Zebulon Pike
From Minneapolis
First show since since October 22, 2011 • First Turf Club show since March 30, 2010 • First show supporting a touring headliner since March 30, 2010 • 22nd show on MN Live's calendar since June 1, 2005
From last.fm:
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, ZEBULON PIKE is an instrumental prog-doom metal band formed in late 2002. Inspired in equal parts by heavy sounds of the 70's (Mountain, Pentagram, Captain Beyond, early Judas Priest), progressive rock (King Crimson, Rush), and 20th century classical (Bela Bartok, Arvo Part, and many others). ZEBULON PIKE combines the impact of metal with the considered approach of "art" music. The result is a rather refined, muted aggression necessary for inciting the slow motion apocalypse.
