Bad Wolves have decided to release their version of ‘Zombie‘ in the memory of Dolores O’Riordan, who was about to record vocals on the track. All proceeds of sales from the track will go to her three children.
The song is still relevant. Says vocalist Tommy Vext:
‘The original lyrics include the line ‘It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting’. It’s a reference to the IRA bombings during the Irish Rebellion. We changed that lyric to say ‘2018’ and she was really excited about that, because the nations may have changed, but we’re still fighting the same battles today. Humanity is still fighting to assert itself despite all the conflicts.‘
