In 1994, the Cranberries released Zombie, a protest song to the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, and in memory of 2 young victims, Jonathan Ball & Tim Parry. The song was the lead single from the album No Need To Argue and was a success, reaching the top of the charts in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France & Germany.
In January 2018, the heavy metal band Bad Wolves were scheduled to record a remake to the original Zombie and were going to feature the original singer and songwriter Dolores O'Riordan in the song as well. Unfortunately, O'Riordan died suddenly, while in London, before she was able to record the song. Bad Wolves released their version of Zombie as a tribute to O'Riordan and donated the proceeds to her children.
Many folks really love the original version while an equal number like the cover version as well. Either way, the song was originally supposed to be recorded with both singers involved, which is why I've added some of the original vocals from O'Riordan to the cover version, which you can stream above. You can also download it for your local library as well.
