Zipper Down is the fourth studio album from American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. It was released on 2 October 2015.

The album features a cover song of Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer".

About the album

This is an album by Eagles of Death Metal, an American rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1998 by Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme, who are the only permanent members of the band, though Homme rarely plays live shows because of commitments to other bands.

The entire album was made available to stream in an exclusive by NPR on their website, on 23 September 2015. The first single, "Complexity", was made available for streaming on Pitchfork Media's website in June 2015.

On 13 November 2015, the band were playing a sold-out concert to about 1,500 guests at Le Bataclan theatre in Paris, when the venue was attacked by terrorists, who killed at least 89 concertgoers.

Following the attack, a Facebook campaign was created with the intention of getting the band's cover of the Duran Duran song "Save A Prayer" to number one on the UK Singles Chart. The campaign was promoted by Duran Duran, who promised to donate their proceeds from the sale to charity. The song ultimately peaked at number 53 for the chart dated the week after the attack.
