Zao (American Band)
Zao () is an American metalcore band founded in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and later relocated to Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Founded in March 1993, Zao has hosted several musicians and endured numerous roster changes to the point where no original members remain.

Production took place almost exclusively in England at Elstree Studios (Shenley Road), EMI Elstree Studios, with sets based on real locations.
