One Hundred Thousand

With its sophomore album, One Hundred Thousand marks a potential watershed moment for forward-looking heavy rock.

ZODIAC is an explosive musical revelation that explores the life and death of the ego through soaring melodic peaks, visceral percussive battery and evocative lyrics inspired by the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

The music for the album was inspired by the classic character traits of each sign of the Zodiac. The lyrics trace a protagonist’s path from a devastating personal loss, through the illusion of hope to an enigmatic finale over the course of one year.

One Hundred Thousand’s ZODIAC is a valuable statement in rock at a time when the genre is begging for disruption. Its showcase of musicianship is buoyed by an unwavering loyalty to composition and is just what modern progressive rock and metal are looking for.

After touring on its 2016 debut album, The Forms In Which They Appear, One Hundred Thousand solidified its five-piece lineup the following year and began laying the groundwork for ZODIAC.

With the world on the verge of the pandemic pause in March of 2020, One Hundred Thousand was ready to share what it created. The band launched the album’s lead track, “Aries,” that month and invited fans to take the ZODIAC journey in real-time, one song per month, until the twelfth and final track, “Pisces,” arrived in February 2021.

Now, ZODIAC has been packaged as a full-double album available everywhere both digitally and in a special-edition vinyl set.
