There\u2019s plenty of modern flare here by way of sharp production and doomier undertones, but the classic party anthem also wouldn\u2019t be out of place on a playlist with Alice Cooper and some of the other greats. One critic has already called it \u201ca sleazy, horror-tinged blend of rock,\u201d and we tend to agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Blackout<\/em>&nbsp;is the lead song off the new Blak29 album that was inspired by a gothic insta girl,\u201d says Zing. \u201cI chose to do a performance video and added the model&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ec2-54-202-43-228.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com\/x\/d?c=31137284&amp;l=816c9c81-c234-4a32-9298-abd2198dc799&amp;r=de6994dc-bf95-4fab-83e6-030d6ea800cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venice Alexa<\/a>&nbsp;to complement the song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverybody\u2019s screaming for that gothic little demon. Ya ever watch the hot goth chicks dancing around at a show or club? You know that they\u2019re deadly, but for some reason, you find them attractive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love videos of people playing. I love the gear, the energy, and how the images translate to the audio experience that we have when we\u2019re not on our phones or looking at screens. My hope is that others can have the same experience with \u2018Blackout.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming from a background playing with such names as Samhain, Mourning Noise, and even the unholy legion that is Danzig, and named for Zing\u2019s June birthdate and love for playing roulette, the band\u2019s sound is as unique and classic as Las Vegas itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zing handles vocals and drums on this record, and Dan Tracey does bass and guitar. Both wrote and co-produced the album.&nbsp;Zing also recruited Danzig bandmate Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Quiet Riot), Tommy Victor (Prong, Ministry), and Jyrki 69 (The 69 Eyes) for guest spots on the record.&nbsp;The sampling of songs on the album range from snarling, rock fury to more contemporary thrashers backed by the power of a storied musical career and a full command of the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Praise for&nbsp;<em>The Waiting:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samhain and Danzig musician Steve Zing steps out with his passion project Blak29 that features collaborator Daniel Tracey. On the recently released \u201cBleeding Love,\u201d Zing evokes peak-era Cult, with a gritty, powerful Ian Astbury-esque vocal powering a driving rock track that deserves to be played with volume knob ripped off. Look for Blak29\u2019s&nbsp;<em>The Waiting<\/em>&nbsp;album arriving March 3.<a href=\"http:\/\/ec2-54-202-43-228.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com\/x\/d?c=31137284&amp;l=7fab208c-37ed-479e-9858-ed3a4a01e9b8&amp;r=de6994dc-bf95-4fab-83e6-030d6ea800cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>&nbsp;Loudwire<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s great that everyone now gets to see what I\u2019ve known for a long time. Playing bass in Danzig is just one dimension of Steve. His talents go way beyond that. Hear for yourself and try to tell me otherwise!\u201d \u2013 Johnny Kelly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My man Steve Zing and Dan Tracey really knocked it out of the park on \u201cThe Waiting.\u201d It was also great to play a little guitar on \u201cDestroyer\u201d and \u201cLong Cool Woman!\u201d \u2013 Tommy Victor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band\u2019s influences run the full spectrum, from punk by way of the Misfits, Damned, and Ramones to \u201880\u2019s goth and prog rock. Described by critics as a dark, groove-based rock \u2018n\u2019 roll band, their distinct blend of rock is destined to leave a permanent mark on the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned for more this year from Zing supporting this release, as well as some live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Blak29:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blak29 is the collaboration of Steve Zing and Daniel Tracey. Formed out of a result of being sick and tired of waiting on others, Zing and Tracey decided to write and record by themselves. This proved to be much easier than past projects where there was too much input from other members, and the two have been creating together under this moniker ever since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powerhouse duo Blak29, led by the multi-talented Steve Zing, are back with a sexy, catchy, and heavy as hell music video for \u201cBlackout,\u201d from their latest record,\u00a0The Waiting,\u00a0out last month via Cleopatra Records.\u00a0 The video juxtaposes a bright, illuminated stage show with the dark and seductive figure for whom the song was written.
