Available now on LP, CD and digitally, ‘#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!’ includes the singles ‘Heavy Metal Armour’ VIDEO, ‘Time And A Place’ VIDEO, ‘Your Little Hand In Mine’
VIDEO, ‘Black Summer’ VIDEO and ‘Lately’. The last of these is an industrial funk makeover of a Macy Gray song that features the distinctive soul singer herself. Collectively, these tracks have generated over three million streams and views.
‘#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!’ features serrated guitars and dance floor synths locked in a frenetic embrace, vocals that move from operatic power to breathy seduction, and basslines designed to rattle both club subs and metal venues alike. MMBD’s sonic palette evokes a post-apocalyptic ballroom and is a bold statement of intent from a band that refuses to be predictable.
Having played over 150 shows since 2024, MMBD have developed a reputation for transforming clubs into high-energy spectacles where industrial rock collides with nightclub culture. The same vision carries through into ‘#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!’, translating the band’s immersive live experience into songs designed to be felt as much as heard.
