“Zombie” is a touching tribute to the late Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). What Bad Wolves do here is keep the tremendous emotional content of the original performance while adding a heavier sound and more intense instrumentation. The band is able to make the track their own, with the supersonic vocals laid down providing further depth to the martial-influence drumss and soaring guitar work. A bit of a growl provides a further boost to the energy of this cover, keeping fans firmly planted on the edges of their seats. A set of sizzling guitar riffs at about the three-minute mark pushes this into an entirely higher plateau.
