Update 06/06/2020: after 7 years I am providing a much needed update to the deck with strictly better cards. Lord of Accursed has replaced Death Baron and have substituted Dread Wanderer in place of Carnophage and Cemetary Reaper. Cryptbreaker is added after much debating. (Adding a 1/1 for 1 mana isn’t what I was initially going for. Wanted 2 power per mana. But the card draw really helped in play testing to accelerate the other 1 mana zombie drops and it helped get rid of unnecessary land or paired with Gravecrawler.

After much research and deckbuilding, I have created what I believe to be the best zombie aggro deck ever built. You put cheap 2 power zombies in fast. Attack relentlessly. Use Gempalm polluter to make them lose life AND draw a card. Use Lord of the Undead to get Gempalm polluter back, giving you card advantage and making them lose life. Urborg and Cabal coffers combined is free mana ramp. Undead Warchief makes your lords cheaper, allowing you to play them for 2 mana, and you can take out major threats with victim of the night and even pesky indestructibles with tragic slip. Sudden spoling an underrated uncounterable card allows you to target protection, indestructible and block flyers, etc. Helpful in multi and against fast control decks.
The super combo here is graveborn muse and venser's journal. You resolve graveborn muse first (if you have life to support it) Draw X cards for every zombie and then BANG gain the life you lost and then some. You have 2 draws for this combo, because Liliana is an instant tutor. If you want to use the combo more, sub in a Demonic tutor. The deck is meant to play fast though, and overwhelm. The combo would be a better idea in multiplayer, when semi-suicide black puts a target on your hard. Mikaeus is a nice addition as well, to give you an extra edge.
If you wanted to play a little slower, you could sub cemetery reaper in for carnophage.
Lastly the flavour of this deck is amazing, as the zombies are only effective by having more and more of them.
Don't forget your full art Gravecrrawlers and Diregraf Ghouls for cool factor.
