| About Zebulon Kosted |
In 1999 I started recording solo albums on my 4 track. The first 3 were released on tape and were called, IO,ARRAKIS, and TRITON respectively. This was a trilogy about moons and planets, 2 real, 1 fictitious. I recorded one more album on tape, around this same time period, which is a secret recording to be released after my death. IO was released in 2000, ARRAKIS was released in 2002 and Triton was released in 2003. These recordings are extremely rare, If you own one consider yourself fortunate.
My first CD release was Estotiland, and to date is my best material. Estotiland is the 16th century name for NewFoundland or Vinland if you like. I rehearsed the material for 18 months before recording it, and the result was the most serious METAL I've ever put together. This was also the first time I used one of my paintings (One night an island is born), for my album cover. Hip Hop artist Blitz (Sheldon Gray) recorded it at his Quantum studio laboratory in late 2004, with style and class. Photos and graphic art were done by combat photographer Sergeant Dan Yarnall, the most compitent man in his field.
My second CD release was She is forever burning, She is life. SIFBSIL was an intense concept album, bringing to the forefront my new experimental leanings. The story behind the album was focused on Mother Earth's disgust with the human race. From begining to end the lyrics are one continuous story of Gaia's creation of a new island off the Skeleton coast of Namibia. Reactions to the new sound were mixed, as it was much more ARTSY then Estotiland. A.J. Orvis Engineered the album at my own Zond studios, capturing with precision the vision I had perceived. I used another oil painting of mine for the album cover (The cave), and my painting (A beauty unknown), as the artwork for the back of the album. Once again Photography and graphic design were done by the master, Dan Yarnall.
My third CD release was called Pulsar or Entering the gravitational whirlpool of a Neutron star (you decide which you like best, it really has 2 names). This is an electronic noise recording of a space satellite being sucked into a huge ball bearing in the Crab nebula (Neutron stars are made of pure METAL, or so it's theorized). This album was released on Vagotonia Records, based out of Bozeman. It was the labels fifth release, and my seventh solo album (six released).
After this voyage into the unknown territories of Ambient/Noise music, I released my first of many splits with the experimental band Conduit. It is a very unique split, which so far has gone completely unnoticed. I would encourage any of my loyal fans to sink their teeth into this morbidly strange concoction!
Between January and March 2008 I recorded 3 new solo albums: He who knows he doesn't know, KNOWS!, Dnekeew, and The Blood Album. All 3 of these albums are extremely experimental. I have also joined 2 new bands in 2008: Sephilrot, and Kallaalit Nunaat. I am currently recording and/or playing shows with 6 bands. Music is all consuming in my life. THE BLOG ENTITLED "ORDERING INFORMATION" HAS ALL OF MY ALBUMS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

The Carrion Nation (1996-1997)

Hygalilver (2000-2002)

My split with Tomhet is now available from Kapustin Yar and Gelid Glacier Records. Check out Tomhet on myspace to be truly inspired, and mystified. My first extreme metal offering, Thjoviljinn vs. Visir, was released in April 2008 on Gelid Glacier Records, sold out in 2 months, and is one of the defining recordings of my career. TVV contains 10 minutes worth of samples from a secret society ritual at Bohemian Grove. My album Cavernous Quiet was released in July 2008 on Kapustin Yar Records. This is a very experimental metal offering with a wide variety of instruments, and recording techniques, utilized for an otherworldly sonic experience. All of the artwork for CQ is individually hand made by me, Rachid Abdel Ghafour! Issyk Kul was released on September 17, 2008, on Kapustin Yar Records, and is an electronic, noise, extreme metal, avant garde album. It is a concept album based on the legends associated with Lake Issyk Kul in Kyrgyzstan. This release is only for the truly open minded experimental metal heads out there! On September 27, 2008 my splits with Hopeless and Bethroned were released. Spain's Hopeless shall torture you with a barrage of sick songs, designed to push you over the edge into madness. Croatia's Bethroned will have you screaming "SLAVA!!!!!!" into the winter winds! Giving in to the black featureless void was released on October 25th, 2008. This SUPER limited full length cassette is comprised of layered space synthesizer tones, psychedelic clean guitar parts, and hypnotic vocal chants. Only 20 hand numbered copies will be made, and each will come with a hand drawn, autographed, mini poster so order now while they are still available! The SARGAGANTAS / Zebulon Kosted split was released November 8th, 2008. This is dark and mysterious Blacknoise from both parties involved, capable of imbibing the listener with the power of astral projection through listening to our high art! Order this piece of history from KYR!!! Another split with All the Cold will be released soon on Nokturnal Transmissions Records. Take a look at ATCs site and you will be frozen solid. Many other new splits are in the works for late 2008, and early 2009, I will announce the release dates when the appropriate moment arrives. I would also like to point out in conclusion, that if my music dealt with satanic topics I would call it black metal. Even though many of my albums or splits may sound like USBM, I do not use satanic subject matter for lyrics or artwork. I DO NOT SUPPORT NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL!!! I do however support the USBM underground scene, as well as the international black metal undergrounders 100%, as is made clear by the bands or individuals on my friends list.
