RootZero

Cardiff, UK

Root Zero are an ethereal metal band from Cardiff, South Wales with the first stable lineup formed in 2020. Initially starting in 2014 as a creative vehicle for Giacomo Fiderio, the band had an ever-shifting lineup composed Aberystwyth University students, coincidentally including 4/6 of its current members. Giacomo and lead singer Sasha Bannister continued to write material until drummer Josh Powell-Gibbs joined. After some personnel changes including guitarist Llyr Williams who joined after moving from Manchester during COVID, the band would begin rehearsing material with the prospects of debuting as a live band when live music returned. Prior to playing live, the band would welcome guitarist Ben Evans, formerly of Polarpoint and following a few shows, bassist Rob Edwards of Risperidrone to complete its 6 piece lineup. The band's debut self-produced EP 'The Weight Of What I Started' releases on the 31st of March 2023.
