Montreal, QC’s power trio Z-Cocoon has released their highly anticipated new EP “Angels”, available now as of June 6, 2025, via Earache Digital Distro. This third EP marks a major milestone for the band as their first full-band release since founder Marc Zolla transitioned the project from his solo moniker Pink Cocoon to a full-on trio with Michel Paradis (Drums) and John Burton (Bass).
“Angels” offers a fiery three-track dose of slashing guitar solos, savage blues-metal riffs, and melodic vocals that evoke the spirit of Dio, Pentagram, and classic doom. Recorded and mixed entirely in-house at Casa Cocoon, the EP channels lyrical inspiration from comics and raw personal experiences.
“We’re extremely proud to present Angels—our first recordings as a band. If you love timeless heavy music like Dio, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, or even blues legends like Hendrix, Trower, and Stevie Ray, blast this loud and buckle up, we’ve got more coming,” says Zolla.
To celebrate the release, Z-Cocoon will hit the road this summer for a series of high-voltage live shows in Ontario and Quebec (listed below).
Tour Dates:
Aug 1 – Oshawa, ON – The Atria
Aug 2 – Toronto, ON – Duffy’s Tavern
Aug 9 – Longueuil, QC – Le Barrage
Aug 30 – Ottawa, ON – Avant Garde Bar
Sept 13 – Montreal, QC – P’tit Ours
Following the “Angels” EP, Z-Cocoon will have an album’s worth of music and more to be recorded and released.
