Zao have come out and said they are hoping to get back into the studio very soon to start the recording process for their new album:
…We have been working on new material for a good bit. We are in the final stages of getting everything ready so hopefully we will be recording it very soon. All of the other bands are very active with playing and recording. Jeff has released 2 records withEmanuel, and both Marty and Scott and Dan‘s bands are recording as we speak.”
“…All of us have full time jobs are are just doing our separate things. Zao is definitely still a priority, it just takes a little more work to get things moving.”
“Zao is still very active and not broken up, everyone lives in different regions and all of us have music styles we want to explore.”
