Musical style and influences edit
Zombi's musical style was influenced by film score composers John Carpenter and Goblin, electronic music artists Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, and progressive rock bands King Crimson and Genesis.[6] 2011's Escape Velocity showed influence from Italo-disco and Krautrock.[6] Following their 2013 tour with Goblin, Zombi's style became more rock-oriented for their following releases.[6] The band takes its name from the Italian title of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (Zombi).[7]
