The Living Tombstone in Pittsburgh

The Living Tombstone is an electronic-rock project created in 2011 by Israeli producer Yoav Landau. It first attracted attention through music connected to online fandoms, including a remix of Eurobeat Brony’s “Discord,” then became closely associated with game-inspired songs such as “Five Nights at Freddy’s” and “It’s Been So Long.” Its catalogue also includes “My Ordinary Life” and the album zero_one. The project’s first North American concert tour began in 2024 and brought its electronic productions into a full-band setting. The touring lineup presented the songs through the fictional identities attached to zero_one, led by Landau and vocalist Sam Haft.
