Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo


It's only taken TEN YEARS since we put out the frst part of the four EP series that made up "Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo" - but now... the actual, genuine, final version of our aeons AWOL album... (this is pretty much album number five? That seems about right, depending on which ZATS releases you class as "albums") ... is here AT LAST!

Don't get it twisted, this is not a "compilation". Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo was intended to be a 16 track album since day one! The versions of the tracks that you will hear here are totally spruced up, too! All of the missing keyboards, saxophones and backing vocals etc have been reinstalled. Everything is remixed and remastered. Some songs have magically become longer, or shorter. The track sequencing is different too... it's a completely new experience, I tell ya!

 October 31st 2025 will see the release of our wild-est, long-lost-est most bizarre record to date on a choice of compact disc or limited edition RED 12" vinyl thanks to 9x9 Records!

01 (All I Wanna Do Is) Decompose With You
02 Phantom With The X-Ray Mind
03 Witch Mountain
04 I Hate Humans
05 Whatever You Do, Don't Fall In Love
06 Haunted House Of Love

Leipzig, Manchester and more are a-comin'!

 


Zombina and the Skeletones have been added to the line up of Wave Gotik Treffen, the most massive dark-music festival in Europe. We'll be appearing at 7.10pm at Taubchenthal on Monday 9th June, along with our old touring buddies Nim Vind. Full line up TBA, but you can check out the hundreds of acts on offer over at the WGT website.

We last played this fest in 2011 and are super excited to be going back!

In other news, we'll be popping up in Manchester's Castle Hotel as "special guests" of Heathen Apostles, a nice western gothic act featuring Chopper Franklin from The Cramps and Thomas Lorioux of Legendary Shack Shakers!


It'll be our first time in Manchester in an absolute age too, and in a pretty small and intimate venue - so ticket up ASAP!

In between those two dates we have even more excitement coming in the form of The Deadinburgh Festival on the 4th July and The Blackpool Boneyard Weekender on 5th July.

More shows TBC.
