Planet Of Zeus - Promo 2006

(self released, 2006)

01. Nervous Breakdown
02. Space Loop 430

One of the better bands to emerge out of this new breed of local heavy rock bands, Planet Of Zeus surprised us pleasantly when during their last show, they gave away free copies of this promotional 2-tracker.

Planet Of Zeus are a powerful trio that oozes heaviness in every step they take with sludgy guitars, smooth basslines, energetic as hatefuck drumming and loose lyrics, throated rather than sang by Babis. "Nervous Breakdown" is already known as the opener in the 2nd volume of the "In The Junkyard" series. The band lights up and breaks into some thundering chords and groove that will rock you silly every time. It’s the other song of this promo CD though that brings more to the table. "Space Loop 430" shows that PoZ have the chops necessary to be a hell of a lot more that just the Greek Alabama Thunder Pussy. An organic brain-melter of a song that can combine the evil ways of Electric Wizard with the intergalactic journeys of Sons Of Otis, before breaking into a marching doomy assault towards the end. An amazing slab of space metal that’s what it is.

Checking them out on one of their live shows should be on your “what to do next” list. These guys are such a cohesive unit on stage. Till then, send a note to planetofzeus2004@yahoo.gr and kindly ask for a copy.
