Fontaine Palace club at the city of Liepaja on 19.07.2008 - together with Gothic metal band The Masquerace, leaded by
the ex-YZ drummer Brr0nth.
2008-06-13 Year Zero will play at the Black Friday fest on 13.06.2008 (Friday 13th, aaaaargh!). See you there!
2008-05-14 Allright, we did not play any gigs for some 5 months now, we continue to do our record which will be (hopefully) completed this summer. But! On this Friday (15.05.2008) we will play at MELNA PIEKTDIENA, supporting local Doom masters, FRAILTY.
2008-01-06 We are going to play on 11.01.08 at MELNA PIEKTDIENA, Riga, with Latvian Prog/Power band DISTANT LIGHT, and Lithuanian Heavy metal band THUNDERTALE. DISTANT LIGHT were supporting SAMAEL at the very same stage on December, 2007, and their new live set is really impressive, powerful and technical. We also had a chance to hear Thundertale live back in March 2007, when we played in Lithuania on Tevynei party, their vocals are awesome, and music was something of heavy/folk metal. Highly recommended!
2007-12-25 Aspherical Asphyxia prod. (RU) released an international tribute to the legendary Norvegian band Ulver. Year Zero took part in this compilation with a cover version of "Nowhere: Catastropy" track from Ulver's "Perdition City" album. The tribute is avaliable for free downloading, don't miss it - this compilation is really a new aproach to Ulver's music.
The Record is Coming Year Zero is currently working on a new record, featuring 10 tracks, live recorded drums, professional studio quality, and a new approach to the band's sound.
Darkside's Evolution Year Zero will play on 2.11.2007 at MELNA PIEKTDIENA, Riga, supporting Latvian Death Metal band PRETERNATURAL and Finnish Funeral Doom band COLOSSEUM.

We usually also perform the cover version of Arcturus "Ad Absurdum" when we play live.
2007-08-17 We have decided to open our set on ANTITHESIS party with 2 new songs: "Elegium" and "Zeitgeist". Both tracks should surprise those who have listened to the Year Zero music before :)

2006-12-16 YZ supported To/Die/For in Melna Piektdiena, Riga - but this time without the keyboards, as Lexus felt sick right before the show. We were forced to play only half of the track list, since the keyboards are a very important part of the band's music. Anyway, we felt quite a response to our performance from the listeners, thanks to everyone who came and supported us!
