This version hits harder than the studio version.
I think they knew it too, cutting this album
The fact that I’m 40 now and this song still goes just as hard as it did 23 years ago speaks for itself
Hahaha its true!
Facts! 🤘🤘🤘
Same!
They still sound absolutely incredible and I fully support and welcome their new endeavors.
Id be lying though if I said I still wasnt partial to pre-FoG material. It was just so influential at that adolescent period--its just always hit different for me. Cannot get enough of the live performances. Thankful tech is getting so good musicians can really connect and exercise their own creative freedoms today.
I'm a year ahead of you in age, & totally agree. This album turned me from an admirer to a fan
Blessings & Shalom fam 🫀
imo, the most underappreciated band in metal
👍
Hardcore I think would be the proper term maybe. But yes, going all the way back to their church band hardcore days, literally pioneers in the genre. And I really don’t care what you call it. It’s just fucking phenomenal metal music and they have been going hard for a very long time.
I also hate all the terms to describe a band and what genre it fits into, if it’s heavy and hard and gets you doing private mosh pits in your living room with your kids, it’s fucking metal and that’s all that matters.
It's sad that these guys never got the recognition they deserve for starting a revolution of new sound. I never heard any band quite like Zao when I was shown them back around 2001-ish
They go as far back as '93
I saw them live in '98, and it was one of the most intense shows I've ever seen. Ever!🤘🤘
@@jared4034yeah, but they were just a Christian Hardcore band then. They didn't resemble this sound until 98.
Babe wake up its 2000 and new Zao just dropped
If only it were true
I'm 16 again! Nope, still 40. God, it's cool to see a quality live version of this song!
🤣 I feel ya. I'm 44.
40 here too! lets open up this pit! haha
Yes indeed.
Yep. I'm back at basement shows in the Midwest.
Also part of the 40 crowd! Who else is getting this??
Saw them when I was 18. August Burns Red was brand new and opened the show. It went ABR, Spoken, Zao and Demon Hunter. A night I'll never forget
Glasshouse?
Saw this tour also ❤ it was awesome
I saw that same tour in Dallas 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A fan since 1997. Got a ZAO tattoo. Seen them live handful of times. Feel like I know them personally. So happy they only seem to be getting stronger the last few years. Keep the train rolling fellas. F’ing love everything about it.
Same. Every show my brother and I go to. We talk to Dan. He remembers our names. Fans since blood and fire
Zao always delivers a beastly performance. Dan’s monstrous vocals, Russ’ and Scott’s thunderous riffs, Jeff’s and Martin’s intense rhythm section, they’re like a beautiful machine. I’m looking forward for their live album. 🤘🏾
This was a fantastic find in 2024. Saw Zao numerous times back in late 90’s. Still sounds as tight as ever.
Dude they're super tight and just as raw. I gotta say, 2016s well intentioned virus is very possibly my favorite album from them. I haven't seen them since 02 or 03, having no idea who they were
Didn't get a chance to finally see them until early 2000s with Misery Signals and Every Time I Die. About 1,000 of us scene kids showed up in the Queen City and it just went absolutely mental. One of the best shows I ever attended even after all these years! Who would have thought the mighty Zao would still sound this great and last this long?! Terribly terribly underappreciated!
wow. The ghost psalm was one of the first Zao songs I heard back in 2001. it's what introduced me into metal
Living Sacrifice was my introduction, but Zao & Training For Utopia where who made me stick with it.
Yeah I had a Zao and Training split CD...Training was an awesome band...but they were a Carbon Copy of Zao...and even Living stole some Zao stuff...and don't even get me started on EARLY EMBODYMENT...although I did like their "softer" stuff later
Yesss!! This song was foundational to so many metal heads out there.
You guys have been a favorite of mine since Liberate dropped in '99 and a roommate told me to listen and id love it. Kick ass live too. Glad to see Russ still being weird. He drooled on me at a show in Baltimore.
Perfection.
Damn first time hearing these guys very impressed 😍👍👊💪
Just bought a ticket to see these guys for the first time, live in ATL in July 🤘🏻. Been a fan for about 23 years and somehow have yet to catch them.
Dude I'm so jealous. I got to see them back in 02 or 03. I want there for them, but also abr, underoath and norma jean was there. It was a lineup from heaven lol
Man, really cool to see the "band" is still going. Zao was umong the line up for my first real show ever. 2000 solid state summer tour with luti-kriss and living sacrifice. Brings back some memories with my brother. 🤘🤘
I still have the double disk DVD documentary. 🎉❤❤
Brings me back to my 20's 🫡🤌🏼
This is great, best metal I've heard in a long time.
Ol' Cogdell lookin like he hasn't aged a day, Mellinger lookin like a completely different person (in a good way). Y'all look healthy and good, glad to see you throwing down again!
That God blessed bass tone. My lord
Damn, +\- 20 years later and this still rips, all these new heavy bands bow down!
I feel so old going on 50 years, and this song still moshes 🫡🤙
They sound so good, incredible
Hot dang! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them play this one live. This was one of first Zao songs I learned on guitar.
Realization comes through reaping
Reality contained in quite
My companions are walking corpses
I am buried with your words
Turned their backs to me
Scared to see the ghost
Turned and walked away
Scared to see the ghost
Time to go one last look, one last touch. A ghost to those I love
Time to go one last look, one last touch. Goodbye to those I love
So close
So close to separation
A ghost without a grave
A ghost without a name
So close
Zao is among my personal Big 4.
I have no words, this is the sound of my youth.
Same.
100% same
Even the first album with their original singer is solid (minus the god stuff)
20 years later- Beautiful. Still beautiful.
Love Zao 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm beyond excited to see you guys for the first time this August In Dallas.
Hell yeah... keep making ACTUAL GOOD MUSIC.
I love this arrangement. Such an awesome way to breathe new life into an already legendary song.
We play certain parts different every time we play it live. Especially the end. This one is pretty tame, there have been shows where it gets pretty out there. We treat the ending (and the drum break in the middle) as open ended and can go on as long or as different as we feel on any given night. There are a bunch of Deadheads in the band so, it's our moment to "create on the spot and see what happens" hoping to use that tool in writing new stuff
Very cool, guys. I love it!
Where’s Jesse?
@@youtubechannel6267 he quit over 20 years ago
@@officialzao quit, you say?
I saw them live in 2006 , was a good show
They were opening for in Flames I believe
This is a masterpiece
My ALL TIME favorite bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZAO! One of my favorite hardcore bands.
I remember the first time I heard this song. Instantly hooked on Zao for life.
Awesome to see u guys
Still 100% same style always love u guys 😝🤘
😇
"My companions are walking corpses" HORDE
My back hurts so much.
Take your baby asprin, ladies and gentlemen.
Omg seriously probably in my top 5 of Zao songs and you guys ROCKED IT LIVE sounds just like the Album Version like to a T!!! You guys have no idea what you mean to me this line up right here!! Almost made me cry hearing this like good tears though, ya see I'm a recovering addict and this Album Liberate te ex inferis excuse me if I misspelled that lol Anyway Zao thank you as a whole for being the band that I've ALWAYS COME BACK TOO!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! Would LOVE it Jessie were on the kit but hey I'm a drummer and he was one of my EARLY influences
I was wondering if this would ever drop, stoked! Was blown away when I streamed it 🤘🏻 Zao along with Converge was the first metalcore band I had ever heard in middle school which led to me to traditional HC and extreme metal. I discovered Zao through Christian rapper Dirt via a Cornerstone interview. I owe a lot to this band as a musician and person.
Dirt. Love that dude. Pretty sure both Dirt and Zao had tracks on our skate video we put out in like 98/99. Mission Skateboards.
@@mikehallspeaks Dude! Dirt / Zao in a skate vid? It's interesting to see someone else have a Crossover. I checked out Mission Skateboards too very dope and awesome to see yall still going.
CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG... FUCKING A GUYS. Going pretty fucking hard, better than the studio recording imo. So ready for August to see you guys live finally after 20 years of listening. much respect and love
I remember an interview with Jesse back in 2001/2 saying you guys coulsnt even post or make a live album because the record lable was so tight on them owning the songs and being in control of them.. couldnt even post your own songs in the background of a video from thr bands page.. i think he said something weird like snowboarding.. thats at least how i remember it. So i was always wishing to see older classics done in a more natural live setting oitside of cellphone footage. Until thr church stream that was always just a pioedream.
I feel like i waited 20 yrs. I wonder if the band has always waited the oppertunity or just thr cards happened to land right when they did think it was a good idea. Eitherway this is great. Zao is such a legendary band, cult classics.. and deserved a live/ set list / best of release. It shows off the songs are able to be played live and not just studio magic , shows they "still got it" and brings a new way to enjoy older songs as well as some newer ones.
I remember ststing up all night to watch the church stream 2 times in a row after working a 12 hr shift.
As a ling time fan it is good to see Scott and Russ together and Marty has come a long way since Fear. I remember meeting him in NJ in 2004 when he was the van driver or something.. zao opened for God Forbid i think when Josh was filling in on vocals.
Glad to see Dan is still the voice of Zao even with the 2 breaks he took early and mid 2000s.
Now i say, Jeff is doing Jesse's parts justice! And he stands on his own talents and shines on the newer music while keeping a "zao feel". I remember him joking on the web he wasnt even the 3rd best drummer in thr band (dan and russ drum, and jesse was the og drummer). But Jeff is amazing and he has helped Zao to continue being Zao. I was sceptical many many years ago, but that was just fear of change.
Zao always has and will be an amazing band!
As a point of reference, At Zero was written with Russ on Drums.
Soooooo closeee. Sooo cloooose
this sounds so good!
Legendary
still killing it!
Damn this hits me hard n brings me back to 2002, self titled and liberate were monumental in my life! Love you guys!!
I fucking love ZAO
Still so vital . Please never stop .
This whole album is GOLD!!
Still slaps. This band was my biggest influence in starting exitium.
This is so badass!! Just got your 777 thumbs!! Cant wait for the release
The goats.
Sounds flawless
Jeff's kit sounds freaking unreal
awesome!!!!! I was lucky enough to see you guys more than once & oh my I still remember the 1st show back around "00
Dude, the build strings 445! Chills
a classic
Perfect 👌
Been a fan since 97. Still amazing.
time to go!
many a head-bang session since 1999 has been had to this track. and one more today in 2024!!
The first song that i heard from Zao and one of my favorites
Yes!!!
Incredible.
Absolutely monstrous live. As always.
Russ back in Zao makes me smile so much
For over 10 years he has been "back"
I watched this at 1.75x speed. It was epic.
Thank you ZAO for recognizing this needed to be heard again! Phenomenal recording and performance.
it was always the plan, just logistically difficult to get together.
@@officialzaoI was emotionally moved by hearing this man! Brought back so many great memories of the late 90's of throwing DIY shows in community buildings! Thanks again for what you all are doing.
Oh my god, maybe someday my dream come true and I'll see them alive in Brazil
Fuck. I gotta see Zao live sometime. This is brutal.
Its so great seeing you guys still bangin after all these years, been a fan since just before Parade of chaos and always will be
I preordered just to support the band. Getting to listen to it will be icing on the cake.
vocals still as juice as when i heard em years ago for the first time coming from a tent quarter a mile away.
This whole performance is flawless
2:30 goes hard AF.
YEEEESS! I've been wanting to see this performance again so bad! Thanks for making it available again! 🖤
Our pleasure!
First time listening zao in 2005 and i am still a big fans... i want To see you live in Québec city pleaaseeee 😢

Literally amazing! This sounds absolutely perfect.
Absolute chills when watching.
This is awesome!
4:47 on is everything I could ever want in music.
This whole performance was amazing. Excited to get to hear it in full again.
This sounds incredible
One of the greatest Zao tracks. so sick
@zao I have been fucking dying for them to release this, and I made sure to spend some hard earned cash on these preorders!!!
Top 5 favorite band of all time.
Soo good. Takes me back.
Still the goat hardcore band ever! You guys need to come back to Toronto! It's been almost two decades since the funeral of god tour!
So good. Please sir, could I have some more?
Thanks fellas, took me right back.
This band is why I liked Chimera later in the 2000s. This is awesome to see them doing stuff together again!
Lol forgot about that band but exactly! Thanks for the memory lane🤘
Wow. This is amazing. I'd love to hear a re-recording of If These Scars Could Speak.
Edit: It's on the lineup!!!! Can't wait for the release!
Splatter vinyl, Bluray & VHS preodered 🤗 This recording sounds and looks incredible. You guy are the shiiiiiiit! The closest us Europeans will come to a Zao live experience 😔
Love and respect from Germany.
Crushing!
