[edit] Line up

  • Teresa Dead – Lead Vocals & Lyrics
  • Corin – Guitars, Synths & Programming

[edit] Music

Inspired by electronic music and its endless possibilities, combining synthesisers, with the more human elements of crunchy guitars, melodic piano and passionate vocals. Zeitgeist Zero have developed a style best described as guitar fuelled electro goth.

Lyrically personal experiences are drawn upon to write meaningful, emotional songs whilst maintaining a balance of catchy hooks and sing-a-long melodies. There are lines from Zeitgeist Zero songs that you won’t be able to help quoting.
