Every true RVG:TZM fan has seen the zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. Well, the chapel seen in the opening scenes of the movie is in jeopardy. This cinematic landmark is in need of restoration — to be risen from the grave, if you will.

RVG:TZM along with our zombie brothers in NJ’s Goddamn Zombie will be playing the Fix the Chapel benefit show in Brooklyn, NY.

May 19, 2012
Goodbye Blue Monday
1087 Broadway
Brooklyn, NY

 

8pm; NO COVER

As if a night of zombie metal mayhem wasn’t enough, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD will be screened after the zombie metal has subsided!

For those that can’t make it but wish to donate, click here.

As they only published a handful of the interview (presumably to make room for lesser zombie bands) you can find the rest of the interview below:

Decibel: What is your first move? Do you find a safe place or start fashioning weapons?

TR of RVG:TZM: Before the zombie apocalypse, you should have already stockpiled weapons (both melee and ranged) and supplies. When it begins, we would barricade ourselves in a secure location and create a signal for the living to help us, like the messages on the roof of the mall in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

Decibel: What would be your favored weapon?

TR of RVG:TZM: People usually seem to favor guns in zombie movies, which I don’t understand. Bullets are finite. The best weapon would be a bat, if you’re quick enough to use it correctly. Failing that, a sword would do the job. Perhaps an axe? Something that never needs reloading.

Decibel: If one of your bandmates became infected, would you think twice about cutting off their head?

TR of RVG:TZM: Recently Vacated Graves: True Zombie Metal is actually comprised of a rotating group of members, any of whom could step in should another need to be exterminated for having become a zombie. We’re unique in that way, and also more likely to be the lone band that can survive a zombie apocalypse because of it.

Decibel: What would you do if bitten on the arm?

TR of RVG:TZM: Depending on the situation, if I knew I was becoming infected, I would die in a hero’s fashion: I would create a diversion that means certain death for me so that the others might have a chance to escape. Once you’re bitten, there’s no going back.

Decibel: Is your perception of zombies modern or classic (fast or slow)? Would your plans change if it were the opposite?

TR of RVG:TZM: Slow zombies are the way to go. Night of the Living Dead had it right. A zombie might not be that much of a threat, but many zombies over time, that’s frightening. If zombies were the fast zombies like in 28 Days Later, that would change everything. Melee weapons won’t do. You need to kill them at a distance with guns, fire, moats, etc.

Decibel: What would you miss most about a non-zombie world?

TR of RVG:TZM: Electricity. No electricity means no RVG, unfortunately. (Although we did do an acoustic show in 2006, so I guess we’d be fine.)

Go pick up the issue to see what they did publish. Fill your brains with delicious knowledge.

True Zombie Metal, RVG:TZM’s genre-defining masterpiece, has been completely remastered and repackaged, featuring a full new set of artwork. The remaster was painstakingly undertaken under the veil of night in an undisclosed location, likely near some sort of mausoleum. This new version of the classics is sure to melt your face into a goo, allowing easy access to your delicious brains!

Former Human Sergeant has also been given a facelift (so to speak) with a new set of artwork. This album, featuring the epic tribute to the classic zombie-related video game DOOM, now includes the rare bonus track, “Arch Vile”. This re-release is sure to melt the hands that are now holding the bowl containing your melted face.

You’re welcome.

Join the horde on Facebook for the latest news, for shows and a new zombie metal EP are forthcoming, as well!

To help them out, RVG:TZM is now offering Send More Brains: Live WMUC Tracks for download on zombiemetal.com. These live tracks are from our appearances at WMUC on November 12, 2006, and three years later to the day on November 12, 2009! The latter set includes “Battle Hymn”, sung by Greg Jones, played in honor of then-station manager Scott Maxwell!

We will donate 100% of the proceeds from this EP straight to WMUC, for these recordings would not exist without the delicious brains of those at WMUC. Support the station or we may never be able to return! To donate directly to the station, click here.

Hailing from the land of sun, sand, and surf comes the grimmest, most kvlt, and evilest surf black metal project ever to wash up on shore.

Five-part death vocal harmonies, blazing blast beats, rotten guitars, and staggering royalty payments all combine to conjure up the most sorrowful frown of the summer.

To ensure that only the tr00est fans of surf black metal have this album, heed this warning. Success and popularity of Californian Hunger will result in further punishment: the release of the Endless Suffer demos.

Californian Hunger (2011)

1. California Girls
2. Wouldn’t It Be Nice
3. Kokomo
4. All Summer Long
