Zero Degrees Freedom formed in London in 2005, started by frontman and guitarist Alex Hazzan with bassist Dan Hutchinson and drummer Jonny Meredith. They released their debut album 'A Riddle of Scars' in 2008, which included the title track and other songs like 'As The Silent Womb Crumbles' and 'Earl Grey Suicide.' The album got some attention for its moody, introspective feel.
After their first album, the band went through some changes. Hutchinson left in 2010, and Hazzan took over bass duties. They kept putting out records like 'The Weight of the World' in 2012 and 'Ocean of Shadows' in 2016. Their sound pulls from different places, with Charlotte Harland joining later on backing vocals and violin.
Their songs often deal with heavy themes, tracks like 'Beneath The Flatline' and 'Drowned' have that dark, atmospheric quality they're known for. They've worked with other musicians here and there, but mostly they've just kept making their own kind of music without much fuss.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
