Big Thanks to Humans vs Robots, Italian online magazine, for today's review of Zeena performing 'These Wounds Never Heal' on the new Sacred Legion album, 'The Higher Unknown'. Scroll down to read the English version of journalist Max Zarucchi's review, or read the original in Italian HERE.  English version:Zeena is a death rocker. If our attention span when reading an article were the same as it was twenty years ago, the incredibly intense life of a figure like Zeena would deserve several thousand words alone: only in this way would we be able to truly understand how much this featuring of hers is a unique and rare event. Her relationship with our Sacred Legion certainly didn't start yesterday (she was the one who chose both the band's moniker and the title of the 2020 album The Silent Lineage), but finding her voice on one of their songs is both a surprise for those who listen and a reason - and how could it be otherwise - of infinite pride for the band. Her deep and hypnotic recitation is undoubtedly the focal point of this brand new These Wounds Never Heal, where the music chosen by our guys to accompany the Divine is a perfect hybrid between the dark hard rock of the seventies and the most direct and evocative death rock of the 80s. There is no room for unnecessary embellishments: the bloody rawness of the piece is more than enough, while it literally kidnaps the soul at first listen. The Higher Unknown, the album in which this single is present, also gives us other special guests such as Adolphe Violet Le Duc (Chants of Maldoror) and Matteo (Spiritual Bats), which is why it will be difficult, in the genre, to keep up with it until the end of 2025: already a podium album, but it was inevitable for three musicians of the genre. Please take note. - Max Zarucchi, 14 March, 2025 ↦ Read also: Sacred Legion (feat.

June 2023] From Zeena:“Big Thanks to my dear friend Fabiano Gagliano of the band Sacred Legion for adding me in the acknowledgments of their fantastic new debut album 'Silent Lineage'! At Fabiano's request, both the band name and album title came to me through a divination for the purposes of “christening” the newly formed band. And the rest is history, as they say! [Scroll down for my review!]  Though 'Silent Lineage' is their first album, these well-seasoned musicians have decades-long experience in previous European-based Deathrock and Punk bands. Specifically, Fabiano Gagliano (also a visual artists) is formerly of Chants of Maldoror, Mirko is formerly of Human Disease, and Tony Volume is formerly of Idol Lips. The lads hail from Italy, yet Gagliano, in keeping with the necromantic and nostalgic themes of the album, conjures vocal qualities of deceased cult singers like Marc Bolan, Syd Barrett and Benjamin Orr. The original music in this album reflects an eclectic mix of '80s genres from deathrock, classic goth-rock and post-punk. Yet the music also hints of '70s influences like glam rock, prog rock, early neo-martial and industrial music with choice bits of sampling from cult films that film buffs will enjoy. The stark and mysterious cover art is Gagliano's creation. All lyrics are contained within the CD booklet. An excellent debut for this great new band!
My best wishes and blessings to all involved!
