new ZERO God release
NEW ZERO GOD was formed in 2006 by MIKE POUGOUNAS on vocals, Drummer DIMITRIS (Sidheog) STEVES, Bassist COSTAS SPANOS, and Guitarist AVERKIOS CHATZIANTONIADIS. The members brought together fans from their respective previous acts: Pougounas and Chatziantoniadis stemmed from Greece’s greatest gothic rock band, namely, THE FLOWERS OF ROMANCE, which had worked with The Mission UK, The Sisters of Mercy, and New Model Army, amongst others.
Once the Flowers Of Romance broke up, Chatziantoniadis sessioned for Peter Green and Jeff Healey. Pougounas then formed NEXUS and drafted Sidheog and Spanos for a seven year stint which included opening for longtime pals, The Mission UK. Sidheog was a founding member of THE DROPS (a darkwave/poppish band that had shared the stage with Christian Death). 
After Spanos and Chatziantoniadis left to pursue solo careers, a brief time-off followed that saw Pougounas lending vocals for longstanding compadres, Rag, and Sidheog drumming for the revamped Dutch MECANO. As work on New Zero God resumed, BABIS (B-Abyss) DIAKOUMEAS and ELIAS (E-Raptor) RAPTIS of PAST PERFECT fame, took over bass and guitar duties, respectively. This led to a string of gigs, opening for The Legendary Pink Dots and, once again, for Christian Death.
In 2008, this line-up began recording sessions for “FUN IS A FOUR LETTER WORD”, an album that musters their collective experience in music. While recording, the band was interviewed and featured on a Greek TV show, appeared in a compilation CD, and were also featured and interviewed for a documentary about the underground music scene.
In 2009, on the day the band finished recording, they were offered a record deal with PUZZLEMUSIK RECORDS.
Their album, “FUN IS A FOUR LETTER WORD”, is made out of the passion of life. It carries the dreams of a person who takes cover in a foxhole and fights back using soft bullets made out of feelings. This could be a punk rock album or just a musical box. It’s an expressive way to reach out to the world, just like each member did in the past with their former bands. Once again they are using each song of this album as a personal demon which jumps out of it for a few minutes.
Sometimes the tracks might be aggressive and some other times they might be tender and melancholic.
Without a doubt, love, hate, and a few other meaningful words have just four letters. And don’t forget… Even when it’s time for you to shout out the word “FUCK”…it’s a part of life.
And life must/should/can be fun…
