Last week I talked about Zombies For Money, a new project from Dj Manaia and Klipar. I could start typing some stuff about their first (free!) EP, but because Manaia and Klipar sent me such a nice written introduction I’m just going to drop it here and let them do the “talking”.

What Is A Zombie?
Although there are many different definitions for the word “zombie” from a West African Snake God to a West Indian victim of voodoo, what we are really talking about here is a reanimated, human corpse that seeks to devour the flesh of living human beings.

Can Zombie Outbreaks Be Discerned In The Archaeological Record?
Hard zombie evidence is always difficult to uncover. The bones of the living dead are not physically different from those of the conventionally deceased. An archaeologist looking for evidence of zombies should look for corpses that have been either decapitated or brained. As we all know, these two methods are the only two ways of stopping the living dead. Of course, a crushed skull does not necessarily prove the presence of the undead. If possible, scholars should research the methods of warfare used by the people in question. If decapitation and braining were not part of their “M.O.,” then cranial trauma might be a red flag.

The remains of a zombie’s victim may also tell us as much, if not more, than the remains of an actual zombie. Look for bones that have been marked by human teeth but lack the scrapes of a butchering implement. This may be evidence of the living dead, since traditional human cannibals have a tendency to ‘prepare’ their meals with scrapers and other tools.

Who Are Zombies For Money?
Zombies For Money are the ultimate 21st century zombie musicians! Fighting against the system they want take control of the record world industry… And destroy it! They are Manaia Shambling and Putrid Klipar II.
