The Zombies

A British rock band. Songs written by its members occupied leading positions on the charts in Europe and the USA in the second half of the 1960s. The band's work in rock music proved to be pioneering, managing to turn the aggression of the British beat presented at the time by The Beatles into beautiful melodies and exciting arrangements and combine Blunstone's declamatory "translucent" vocals with a transparency of musical atmosphere, an "ethereal aura." Despite a short discography, the band made an important contribution to the development of rock music. According to music critic R. Meltzer, it was a "transitional stage between The Beatles and The Doors."
