Bio
ZQKMGDZ - 10.000 km² gegen die Zeit
was founded at new years day 2012 as a two piece band by Don Alfredo (guitar
& vocals) and Don Fernando (drums). From the beginning on, their goal was
to create visions of time traveling between planets and to transfer this idea
into a musical reality. 2013 Don Libido (bass) jumped aboard the intergalactic
spaceship of ZQKMGDZ. In this constellation they produced a manifest under the
name "Dimension Plasma" which was produced in the halls of
"Rosenquarz Recording Studios" and will come out on vinyl via Pink
Tank Records, autumn this year!
This recording shows up that it is
possible to create a new sound which we will call "Interstellar Psycho
Doom“! Dark, heavy, massiv, fuzzy and psychedelic!
10,000 km² gegen die Zeit are ready
for new time travel on the stages of this and other planets!

Review:
ZQKMGDZ are a self proclaimed – Interstellar
Psycho Doom – Band. What the hell does that. I don't have a freaking clue. What
I can tell you is that their debut album – Dimension Plasma – is one freaky
sideshow of crazed Psychedelic Doom and Stoner Metal sounds and riffs. It feels
like an all out musical jam between Black Sabbath, Hawkwind and Ufomammut.
They have been signed to our good pals – Pink
Tank Records – and I may have to say that this could be the finest band Jan has
signed to his label. ZQKMGDZ will take you on a cosmic and spacey trip of your
own mind. Opening track – Brainsnail Octopus – perfectly captures these insane
musical astronauts as they venture from Sabbath type Doom with Hawkwind style
Space Rock with added Ufomammut crazy psychedelic menace. Though with their own
magnetic charm.
It's one crazy as hell exercise in sound and
volume as ZQKMGDZ lay on the fuzz through out the albums 32 minute run time.
Second track Mammoth Manifest has lead vocalist – Don Alfredo – tripping out
his mind like he is coming down from a bad LSD Trip with his bandmates feeding
him the deadly musical drug to keep him in his drug induced state. The track
has echoes of 60s/70s Psychedelic Hard Rock showing here and there. It feels
like an extended jam session at times but that's the beauty of the album. It's
a crazy trip where anything goes. Just enjoy the delicious music that ZQKMGDZ
have created here.
Third track – Ambrosia – is the more straight
forward rock song that ZQKMGDZ have on offer here. Well what I mean it's more
structured compared to the rest of the songs. It's still crazy in it's own
right just in a different fuzzed up way. ZQKMGDZ capture the essence of what
Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Metal should really be all about. Loud and violent
fuzzy riffs brimming to fully explode at any second. The vocals have a weird
experimental feel that only adds to the trippy atmosphere. Play this one at
full volume to get the full effect.
ZQKMGDZ leave the best track till last with the
15 minute epic – Astro Sabbath / Dimension Plasma. Two songs created as one
surreal Doom/Stoner Metal experience. Quite possibly. Just sit back for this
mammoth and insane song that will expand your mind for one final round. The
fuzz is laid on nice and thick as ZQKMGDZ play at a slow pace before adding
different sounds along the way. It's a great way to end the album as your
slowly brought back to reality. My advice – Press play once more as this is an
album you need to experience over and over again.
Awesome stuff!!!
