Zan-zan-zawa-veia

Zan-zan-zawa-veia, also known as yakfak or zzzv, is a British level designer and musician. One of their levels, Sheer Poison, won one of the 22nd Annual Cacowards.

Their musical contributions to Doom WADs are notable for their unique and bizarre style, blending influences from vintage computer game soundtracks, jazz, funk, and 1970s progressive rock. Their levels are known to be strange and challenging.
