Vinyl (shelved?)
Production hit a snag during vinyl test presses of the latest ZP recording, INTRANSIENCE.
Apparently, putting the two "shorter" songs (Mirrors of Blessed Miracles & The Avian Magi) on one side
is not rendering high sonic quality. For now, we'll blame vinyl as a medium for this issue,
as we have no plans to move away from long compositions.
This vinyl project is now shelved, though may be reborn while releasing the next record...
Recording in 2010
Zebulon Pike is writing new material and will begin tracking in the coming weeks.
The new recording will be released in 2010, likely in the fall.

"If you're into Mastodon, Pelican, the classic Southern Lord sound, I'm begging and pleading for you people to listen to this."
--AversiOnline
"It`s tough, heavy and very impressive all the way around...definitely a good CD for the Melvins/Sleep fans."
--StonerRock
"One can realize very quickly that this band is brilliant with riffs."
--CosmicLava
"One of the very best brainy hard-rock records of the last few years."
--City Pages
"I don't know a damn thing about playing an instrument, but I do know what sounds good… ZP both know how to play their instruments and have that all-important musical chemistry that shakes out the greats."
--Hell Ride Music
"Also proving that this band is incredible and knows precisely what they're doing is the fact that the recording is flawless."
--AversiOnline
"This stuff is as powerful as bands like The Champs and Don Cabellero and definitely reminiscent of bands like King Crimson with wicked precise guitars."
--StonerRock
"Zebulon Pike could share the stage with groups like Spickle, Karma To Burn, etc."
--Daredevil Magazine
"Inventive music that keeps us alert and wanting more from start to finish, very strong indeed."
--Concrete Web
"Heavy instrumental four-piece Zebulon Pike make expansive music for a compressed world.
Alternately brutal and tender, their serious but not humorless music punches you in the face
and gives you a soothing, nonsexual neck massage. Recommended for fans of Metallica, Yes,
Richard Wagner, down-tuned guitars, cannonlike kick drums, and oceanic tempests suggestive
of divine retribution."
