Biography
Formed in Montreal, Canada, in early 1993, Zaraza was born out of a meeting between newly
arrived Polish immigrant Jacek (The DoomHammer) and local Montreal industrial/noise artist Brian
Damage (who would later adopt the Slavic name Grzegorz Haus ov Doom), with the object of fully
integrating the extremes of doom/death metal with industrial.[1] At the beginning it was intended to
be a grindcore-oriented project, but they soon decided on a more doomy edge, combined with a
bombastic symphonic industrial feel.
Due to the largely sampler-oriented nature of Zaraza's music, the band very rarely performed live.
Its best-known live show was during a special edition of the Montreal industrial show Late Night
Atrocity Exhibition. That night, in order to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first concert of
Laibach, whose early albums (from the 1980s) the band highly revered, Zaraza performed four
covers: "Vier Personen," "Leben Tod," "Krvava Gruda Plodna Zemlja," and "Nova Akropola."
Reforming (2015-present)
In 2015 the band re-united and decided to work on a new album. The third album "Spasms of
Rebirth" was released on March 4, 2017 via the band's Bandcamp site. The album received a 9/10
rating in doom-metal.com review [1].
