Biography

Started off at the beginning of 2008 as a death metal band. After the band had some line up changes and band name changes, the music started to develop more into a technical way of writing progressive (death) metal. While writing songs and playing shows, the band developped into a mind-blowing progressive metal band. The band have played over 200 shows all across Europe and the UK.

In the summer of 2010, Zygoma recorded a first demo/EP called Flesh.Made.Void., which was self-released. After the release, a short tour including Belgian/UK gigs was ready to go. 2 months of rest followed after the tour because of another line-up change.

A come-back was made at the beginning of 2011 with a new guitar player, Joachim. Zygoma started playing lots of shows again spread over Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Czech Republic, United Kingdom and Holland.

The Ro(c)koko tour 2011, a tour of 9 days which the band booked themselves, included 3 headline shows and was the band's first real tour experience and set the start of many more to come. In March/April '12, Zygoma did a 17 day, DIY booked European tour and went to Holland, Czech Rep, Hungary, Slovakia, Luxembourg and the UK. After this tour, the band decided to go on without guitarist Wez & brought in Kenzo. Late October 2012, Joachim decided to leave the band.

When 2012 came to an end, a small local label called The Front Agency signed Zygoma to release The Forgotten. Together with the support of Total Deathcore, they released The Forgotten on 22 January 2013. An official release show was played on 9 March in Lokeren (BE) and the band started writing again from there.
