Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan (born 6 September 1971) is an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. She led The Cranberries to worldwide success and fame for 13 years before the band took a hiatus in 2003.
"Zombie" is a protest song by the Irish band The Cranberries from the 1994 album No Need to Argue. The song, which laments The Troubles in Northern Ireland and in particular the killing of two children in an IRA bombing in Warrington, England, was written by Dolores O'Riordan, singer of the band. The song features a heavy guitar riff, which, uncharacteristic of the band's usual sound, is more akin to the grunge/alternative metal sound that was popular in the early to mid-1990's. This song met great success in many countries, including France, Belgium, Austria, Australia and Germany where it topped the charts.
