Zero is a heavy metal band from Pinto, Spain, active since 2000 and one of the longer-running underground metal acts in the Madrid area. They play straightforward traditional heavy metal with a no-frills, riff-first approach.
Zero 9:36 is the heavy rap-rock project of Matthew Cullen, whose songs fuse clipped hip-hop delivery with hard rock impact, electronic pressure, and nu metal tension. You Will Not Be Saved introduced a direct, anxious style built around tracks like "Leave the Light On," where fast vocal patterns meet guitar weight and melodic release. ...If You Don't Save Yourself expanded the formula with bigger hooks and collaborations, including the Ice Nine Kills version of "Adrenaline," which pushed the project further into active-rock territory. Later releases such as None of Us Are Getting Out and They Were Always Here sharpened the darker mood, pairing distorted riffs, trap-influenced rhythm, and shouted choruses with lyrics about self-sabotage, anger, and survival. Zero's strength is the way he treats heaviness as rhythmic punctuation. The guitars often land like impacts around the vocal cadence, while the drums and programming keep the songs moving with the urgency of modern hip-hop. The result is compact, confrontational music that can swing from melodic vulnerability to blunt aggression within the same hook.
Zero Creation is a thrash/groove metal band from Oliveira De Frades, Portugal, formed in 2022. They blend aggressive thrash riffing with groove metal heaviness from the central Portuguese underground.
