ZACTHELOCUST will release their massively alluring debut album, All I Am, on Friday 30th August. The album is dedicated to lead vocalist, Cory James, who sadly passed away in May of this year. The South Wales pop punkers have also dropped the album’s namesake, All I Am, as a video and single.

Originally formed in 2019 and hailing from the engulfing valleys of South Wales, ZACTHELOCUST began life as a solo project created by guitarist Keryn Isaac. The venture soon grew with long-time friend Robert Baulch keen to take on bass playing duties, and new friends Archie Holland and Ashley Turner arriving on lead guitar and drums. The quartet persistently worked on their live set, but the songs needed a boost to take them to the next level. After an exhaustive search for a lead vocalist, they finally found Cory James. Upon his arrival, Cory became the ideal fit and brother to his bandmates. He will be massively missed by everyone who knew him.
Prior to Cory’s passing, ZACTHELOCUST finished work on their debut album, All I Am. Pulling from influences such as Green Day and Blink 182, as well as Metallica and Thin Lizzy, the album takes from the dexterity and craft of alternative rock, and the contagious appeal of pop punk. From beginning to end, this immensely appealing record is a superb statement highlighting the band’s songwriting expertise. With a lyrical focus based around love, seizing the day, and obtaining the most out of life, the album is as elevating as it is skilful and commanding.
ZACTHELOCUST are continuing as a unit and plans are now in place for new music. For now, the band will tour the album widely, and further releases will follow.
