ZP's last full-length album, "Zebulon Pike II : The Deafening Twilight" is comprised of five songs and
over 73 minutes of epic, dynamic, crushing music that derives a concrete soundscape from the abstract.
"Zebulon Pike II : The Deafening Twilight" and "And Blood Was Passion", ZP's first full-length record
can both be ordered on this site. Go to the merch page to order CDs and shirts... only $10 each.

"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."
-- City Pages (Minneapolis news and arts weekly)
"It`s tough, heavy and very impressive all the way around...definitely a good CD for the Melvins/Sleep fans."
--StonerRock
"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
"There's no Ronnie James Dio passionately howling about rainbows and knights, but it also emphasizes the seriously dazzling instrumentation."
--Star Tribune
"Also proving that this band is incredible and knows precisely what they're doing is the fact that the recording is flawless."
--AversiOnline
"One of the very best brainy hard-rock records of the last few years."
--City Pages
"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
"One can realize very quickly that this band is brilliant with riffs."
--CosmicLava
"Zebulon Pike could share the stage with groups like Spickle, Karma To Burn, etc."
--Daredevil Magazine
"If you're into Mastodon, Pelican, the classic Southern Lord sound, I'm begging and pleading for you people to listen to this."
--AversiOnline
"Inventive music that keeps us alert and wanting more from start to finish, very strong indeed."
--Concrete Web
"Their pretty-to-pummeling dynamic range is nearly Wagnerian."
