Wicked Zens- Behind the Gates of Oz
Breaking out of the proverbial “box” is exactly what Wicked Zens has done with their new record Behind the Gates of Oz. As the name suggests, this album has a lot to do with the Wizard of Oz film. The band has taken the theme and songs of the movie and put it to a driving heavy rock sound, and the result is something that has never came out of Colorado before.
Right from the start with “Yellow Brick,” Wicked Zens takes the listener on a journey reminiscent of a magical childhood fantasy, but with better music. The album brings out the eerie element of the movie, dark undertones and an element of fear dominate the songs. They are also putting the songs to the screen, with the video for “Yellow Brick” featuring the 1925 silent picture Wizard of Oz.
No matter what your favorite style of music is, this record is more than worth checking out. It is one of those rare albums that appeals to so many triggers in your brain, it is impossible to turn off.
