After the album’s release Zao toured with a new singer, Corey Darst, who did an admirable job mimicking Dant’s voice but never captured the same energy. In December of 2001 Zao broke up onstage, ironically as Dan stood in as a “guest.”

Zao's show in Pittsburgh the other night was apparently Russ' last show. They ... announced during the show that they will indeed put out another album. Thx to The Science Guy for the tip.

"Liberate Te Ex Inferis", which is Latin for "Save Yourself From Hell", brought an unexpected darkness to the Zao sound. If "Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest" was the most influential Christian metalcore album ever, then "Liberate" was the darkest one ever recorded. The artwork of the album was based around Dante's Inferno and the album contains soundclips from horror movies. The guitar tones and timing paint an exceedingly dark musical portrait.

Doubtless, debate will rage about whether The Funeral Of God is up there with the best Zao albums. Whether it is or not, it is better than much of what passes for metalcore these days and it's about three times as intelligent. Even if their lyric sheet might tell you otherwise.
