Rock Monsters Romania

ZOB has released their new song “Întoarcerea Zmeului” along with a lyric video.

Nine years after the release of the song “Basm Epic,” which is part of the album Deviant, ZOB returns with a new rock ‘n’ roll single with punk influences.

“Întoarcerea Zmeului” continues the story of Basm Epic and brings to the forefront the iconic figure from Romanian folklore, transposing it into the modern, contemporary world.

Vlad Gorneanu “Vlase” describes the song as: “A theatrical, friendly escape with some underlying meanings in a fairytale universe, even if the fairytale itself is non-existent. The essence is found in the offer in the chorus of the Zmeu, a desire, after all, of those who understand this spectacular cavalcade of life.“

The song “Întoarcerea Zmeului” was composed by the members of ZOB, recorded, and mastered by Gabi Andrieș Pipai.

“Întoarcerea Zmeului” is now available on all streaming platforms, and the lyric video produced by Brandfusion is on the band’s official YouTube channel.

Currently, ZOB is working on a new album, which will be released at the end of this year.
