Send More Paramedics are the best ever Zombie band in my opinion. The name for their band is of course taken from a line in the fantastic 'Return of the Living Dead'.
In the film the humans have called for an Ambulance to help their injured friend. The Ambulance turns up, but it's crew are quickly eaten by the undead. A zombie gets on the Ambulances radio and shouts into it "send more paramedics!". Another Ambulance is dispatched in response, and the crew of that one are also quickly eaten, a classic scene.
Not only are Send More Paramedics actually real (Un)life Zombies (or least claim to be), they don't hide the fact, and sing like Zombies as well. I guess it's just a shame they have split up, though hopefully not literally.
This song is a description of a classic Zombie uprising. Includes a line taken straight from 'Dawn of the Dead'.
Resurrect
Advancing through the gloom
Reanimate
Putrescence given living form
Malevolent
A hideous malignity
Assails your sight
And chills your soul
Mass-exhumation of a field of dead remains
A horde of revenants is baying to devour your brains
When there's no more room in hell
The dead will walk the earth
Skeletal
Erupting from the ground
Dead voices raised
In symphony of evil sound
Demise of soul
A ruinous cacophony
To fill your mind
With mortal dread
Reanimation of the recently deceased
Dead hands find coffin lids and hammer wildly for their release
Here come the hordes
They're on the march again
Bringing black terror to the world of men
Post-mortal multitude that flocks to human flesh
Here come the hordes
Here come the hordes
Walking dead
With suppurating wounds
Disfigured shapes
Illuminated by the moon
A reckless haste
To feast on human flesh and blood
All thought erased
Except of you...
Freak disinterment of the dear departed dead
Your late lamented relatives are racing to devour your head
When there's no more room in hell
The dead will walk the earth
Carrion
Inspired to live again
A rotten horde
Disintegrating forms of men
Their victims rise
Infected by the evil plague
To swell the ranks
Of the undead
A spectacle so chilling human minds can scarcely bear
A panorama drawn in hell that proffers nothing but deep despair
Here come the hordes
They're on the march again
Bringing black terror to the world of men
Post-mortal multitude that flocks to human flesh
Here come the hordes
Here come the hordes
