Zaok released their 2nd single "baptaized" on August 5th, 2024\. The track establishes utter brutality from the very first moment, beginning with explosive chugging, digitalized screams, and a complex soundscape that brings a crushingly heavy sound to the table. "baptized" is like if [Thall](https://www.themetalverse.net/what-is-thall/) had a baby with industrial music and black metal. Intense guitar riffage that reminds us of Vildhjarta is contrasted by intentional clipping effects that create a dramatic digital/robotic sound creating a unique Thall-esque sound that we haven't heard before. 

"baptaized" has something for everyone - dramatic breakdowns, mixed-in clean vocals, impactful drumming, industrial ambience, and layered clean guitar melodies. Zaok showcases a distinct sound that is chaotic yet controlled in a way that delivers a hard-hitting concoction of thall and extreme metal. We are excited to hear what comes from the original metal act next. You can check out Zaok's new music on all streaming platforms now!
