With the world on the verge of the pandemic pause in March of 2020, New Jersey-based hard rock group One Hundred Thousand was ready to share its new album Zodiac. The band launched the album’s lead track, Aries, that month and invited fans to take the Zodiac journey in real-time, one song per month, until the twelfth and final track, Pisces, earlier this year. Finally the double album Zodiac is released and available everywhere digitally and on vinyl.

«When we began writing Zodiac, we had no idea how universal the album’s themes of grief, isolation first completed, but music remains as much a force for unity and solace as ever. With the full album available today both digitally and on vinyl, we’re pleased to finally share our vision in its entirety».

Tracklisting:

1 Aries 6:44

2 Taurus 4:00

3 Gemini 5:00

4 Cancer 6:34

5 Leo 5:50

6 Virgo 4:48

7 Libra 5:28

8 Scorpio 6:03

9 Sagittarius 5:51

10 Capricorn 9:50

11 Aquarius 5:12

12 Pisces 6:52

After touring on its 2016 debut album, The Forms In Which They Appear (co- produced by the band and Sevendust’s Clint Lowery), One Hundred Thousand solidified its heavy progressive sound, completed their five-piece band lineup in mid-2017, and began laying the groundwork for Zodiac. The album is an explosive musical revelation that explores the life and death of the ego through soaring melodic peaks, visceral percussive battery and evocative lyrics.

The music for the album was inspired by the classic character traits of each sign of the Zodiaz. The lyrics trace a protagonist’s path from a devastating personal loss, through the illusion of hope to an enigmatic finale over the course of one year.

One Hundred Thousand’s Zodiac is a valuable statement in rock at a time when the genre is begging for disruption. Its showcase of musicianship is buoyed by an unwavering loyalty to composition and is just what modern progressive rock and metal are looking for.
