About Society 1:
“Society 1 captures the essence of abuse, overkill and ultimate inspiration…“
One of the many quotes that describe what Society 1 has become since
their inception. Love or hate what Society 1 stand for, no one can
argue with the controversial recognition of this band. They have
pushed limits that didn’t even exist prior to their existence.
LA Weekly described Lord Zane as an embodiment of “Morrisonesque
shamanics and Satanic self-determination.“
“…as front man for the world-touring metal band Society 1, Zane took
live performing to new heights by setting a world record as the first
person to sing live before 40,000 people while suspended 30ft. off the
stage by a series of steel hooks pierced through his back.” —The
Metal Forge
“Few performers have offered up flesh and blood for their art like
Matt Zane has.” — Dr. Abner Mality , Wormwood Chronicles
“… every show is so full of energy that I equate it to catching
lighting in a bottle. Not only is it high energy, it drips with the
sexiness of dirty Rock ‘n Roll mixed with the sound of grinding
industrial metal.” – Examiner.com
