It is with great pleasure that we announce today that for the first time in our history Zealotry has a permanent drummer.
Alex Zalatan, also of Inhumatus, Cymatics and Burial Moss.
Alex will be performing on our upcoming second album The Last Witness and any future shows we play. We’re very excited abut having someone of his considerable talents behind the drum kit for us.

Why is this important news? Why should anyone care?
Why should you care about anything?
Because Zealotry are part of a fraction of a fraction of new death metal bands where 1) the death metal moniker is actually accurate and 2) their approach to the genre offers something else besides copy&pasting their favorite riffs from the classics and playing them backwards.
This isn’t about their music, it’s about letting us know they’ve got a new drummer.
So, it is about their music. It directly affects a part of their music’s outcome in the album they are going to release this year.
This.
Everything matters equally!
