Named after the misty mountain peak from Tolkien’s legendary novel Lord of the Rings, ZIRAKZIGIL have been steadily conquering the Pacific Northwest since their formation in early 2013. Described by Revolver Magazine as “70′s prog-rock sliding down King Crimson’s mountain“, the trio are heavily influenced by both classical music and the famed prog-rock heavy weights of the 70′s such as the aforementioned King Crimson along with Yes, Gentle Giant and Rush – to name just a few. Their truly unique sound blends these elements along with touches of sludge and doom to create an onslaught of crushing heavy riffage fused with sporadic flourishes of progressive insanity.
