Releases: We Are All Doomed: The Zodiac Killer (2011)

2011 will see the official release of Otto Kinzel debut solo album. We Are All Doomed: the Zodiac Killer is a conceptual piece inspired by the infamous Zodiac killings from the late 60's/early 70's in the Bay area, and also the subsequent letters that were sent to the San Francisco Chronicle. The album will outline how one person can hold an entire city in fear.

It'll mark a return to Otto's "metal" roots. Musically the album will showcase highly technical musicianship with frequent odd-time rhythm changes, atmospheric textures and multi-layered psychopathic vocals. Influenced by bands like Meshuggah & Dillinger Escape Plan, and also by forward thinking artists like Frank Zappa & Mike Patton, this release is not for the timid
