ZVOYN is an avant-garde metal / progressive grindcore project by French bassist Younés OYC Chraibi. Chraibi has played in a number of bands over the years including the German post-metal band, The Ocean Collective.
Zvoyn has released two EPs to date. Onomatopeous Love Letters, Book I: Elisa, and Onomatopeous Love Letters, Book III: Ioana, were both released in 2009. A third EP, Onomatopeous Love Letters, Book II: Malika, was recorded but is still unreleased, although some of the tracks are available for streaming off the artist’s Bandcamp site. Zvoyn plans to release all three EPs together as a single CD release at some point.
