Zane Steckler, known professionally as Sematary (born December 22, 2000), is an American rapper, producer, and songwriter.
Career[edit]
Sematary published his first album in 2019 entitled Grave House, alongside collaborator Ghost Mountain. The album was self-produced and mixed from February to August of that year before it’s eventual publishing on August 16, 2019.[2] Sematary would then release a solo project later that same year on November 8, 2019 Rainbow Bridge, containing features from Ghost Mountain and other horror-core artist, God's Wisdom on the song Toolbox which features the trio.[3]
Rainbrow Bridge marked the beginning of a series of solo albums produced and written by Sematary, and Rainbow Bridge 2 would be released in March of 2020.[4] Grant Foskett of Tastemakers Maganize wrote that the Rainbow Bridge albums “started to draw attention for their unique sound and aesthetic, which juxtaposed goofy, rainbow, poorly-Photoshopped album art against lyrics dealing with obscure occult references and violence.” [5]
The Sematary-Ghost Mountain collaboration continued when the duo released Hundred Acre Wrist Hosted By DJ Sorrow. Tastemaker Magazine’s Grant Foskett said the album “marks a pivot in sound from sampling old black metal riffs and adding in thundering 808s and trap percussion (see “My Cutter” or “We Don’t Dial 911” from Rainbow Bridge 2) to psychedelic and noisy witch house soundscapes with a more fleshed out mythology to the subject matter.”[5]
Sematary released Rainbow Bridge 3 — his first album produced without Ghost Mountain after his departure from the music industry, and his third in the Rainbow Bridge series (although Ghost Mountain does appear on a track) — in April of 2021.[6]
Screaming Forest was released by Sematary in October of 2021.[7] The Miscellany News’ Massimo Tarridas wrote that “Screaming Forest” lacks all of the punch of “Rainbow Bridge 3.” The drums feel strangely hollow. The samples sound newly brittle and cheap, and not the good kind of brittle and cheap found in the original ’90s death metal songs that Sematary sources from. Lo-fidelity music has this internal conflict where, because it’s sometimes produced in a way that is normatively bad according to the larger standards of the industry, it’s hard to explain what makes good lo-fi different from bad-lo-fi.[8]
Musical style[edit]
In a 2020 interview hosted by Ben Mangelsdorf from undergroundunderdogs.com, Sematary described his musical style as being a mix between Chief Keef and Witch House, stating "I always liked witch house. I wanna bring witch house back. I just think it sounds cool".[9] In this same interview, Mangelsdorf characterize sematary as "horrorcore Chief Keef", to which Sematary agreed.[9]
Sematary has talked about his musical influence coming from Chief Keef, Yung Lean, and Black Kray, saying "if these guys can do it, I can do it".[9]
