Zahn

Nic Stockmann and Chris Breuer, the interlocked rhythm section of noise rock researchers HEADS., lay out minimalist repetitive heavy grooves that are garnished with tonal shards wrung out of Felix Gebhard's (also keys for EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN) roaring infernal electric guitar. Zahn is noise rock merging with sludge and post-punk in a spectacular threesome with avant-garde sensibilities presenting riffs and grooves in abstract patterns and rhythmic cycles all of which are backed by some seriously hard-hitting drums.

Musikexpress (DE)
"Zahn spielen ihren Instrumental-Rock auf international konkurrenzfähig hohem Niveau und könnten Szene-Segment-Veranstaltungen wie das Desert-Fest oder Roadburn-Festival genau so gut bereichern wie die kleinste Hurricane-Bühne nachts um zwölf zermalmen.“

Post-Punk (US)
"Hard hitting and free-flowing alike, Zahn is a great experimental undertaking avant la lettre, served with a German avant-garde sensibility.

The Obelisk (US)
"Its noise-rock angularity and tonal bite isn’t going to be for everyone, but there’s something about ZAHN‘s unwillingness to cooperate, their unwillingness to sit still, that makes their self-titled debut a joy of a run. You can take the ride if you want, but they’re going either way.“

The Quietus (UK)
"The first couple of tracks will remind you that The Jesus Lizard would've still been really great even if they didn't have David Yow hurling himself around at the front, yelling about autoerotic asphyxiation accidents, and pulling his pants down."
