History

Recently Vacated Graves: True Zombie Metal was formed in 2002 when founding members Tim Regan and Brett Greenfield decided to forge a new metal genre: zombie metal. The first song, entitled “Brraaiinnss!!” was a slow, doomy creation, recorded in Tim’s bedroom. Two more songs followed shortly thereafter: “Forever to Hunger for Brains,” written by Tim and “Empty Skulls,” written by Brett. The project was surprisingly successful for simple bedroom demos.

With Halloween approaching the following year, Tim was inspired to continue the project. “The Revenant” and “Feasting On Your Brains” were written and recorded. The following summer, the band’s first album True Zombie Metal was recorded. The release was followed of course by The Dead Will Tour the Earth, which brought RVG:TZM to the Midwest, Canada, New England, and everywhere in between.

In 2005, Tim continued the onslaught, writing and recording Former Human Sergeant. The title track of the album is a 20-minute epic tribute to the video game DOOM.

The RVG:TZM:DVD Beyond the Grave, chronicling the band’s shows in 2004-2006, was released in 2007 with a bonus CD, Millenia of Rot,  containing 1 unreleased song, “Arch Vile.”

In 2011, RVG:TZM reissued its first two albums, True Zombie Metal and Former Human Sergeant with new artwork.

RVG:TZM is currently working on a series of EPs, each with a different theme. The first of these, the Hail to Canada EP, is a tribute to the extreme hospitality shown to RVG:TZM during its two trips there. Two further EPs are expected in 2012.
