They have toured with Don Caballero, Isis, Orthrelm, The Psychic Paramount, Daughters, Red Sparowes, These Arms Are Snakes, Trans Am, and Goblin.[4]
They are currently signed to Relapse Records. In 2006, the band signed with Belgian record label Hypertension Records to release Surface to Air on vinyl.[5]

Their song "Sapphire" was remixed by Norwegian DJ/producer Prins Thomas.[3]
Musical style and influences[edit]
Zombi's musical style was influenced by film score composers John Carpenter and Goblin, electronic music artists Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, and progressive rock bands King Crimson and Genesis.[6] 2011's Escape Velocity showed influence from Italo-disco and Krautrock.[6] Following their 2013 tour with Goblin, Zombi's style became more rock-oriented for their following releases.[6] The band takes its name from the Italian title of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (Zombi).[7]
