Artist infos
Artist description
Planet of Zeus are a
heavy rock band from Athens, Greece. They have been around since 2000, playing
extensively throughout their home country, just about anywhere they could,
ranging from house parties to stadiums. Their raw, sincere and constantly evolving
live performances have secured them a loyal and hardcore underground following,
which exceeds Greeces geographical borders. After 5 consecutive European tours
and several high profile festivals (Bloodstock etc), Planet of Zeus were the
main support band at Clutchs 2015 Psychic Warfare European Tour.
Planet of Zeus have
released 3 albums. “Eleven the hard way”, was released in April 2008, through
Casket Music/ Copro Records (UK). The album, although a debut, received great
reviews from magazines, such as Metal Hammer and Kerrang and even Bruce Dickinson
featured it on his BBC radio
show. The sophomore
album “Macho Libre”, released in May 2011, through B-Otherside Records, was the
album, that established the band as a major act in Greece and started creating
a European buzz
around Planet of Zeus.
Since then, their two official music videos, “Leftovers” and “Vanity suit” have
become classics. With their third album,“Vigilante”(2014, ihaveadrum
records),the band upped the ante and created their own distinct blend of riff
heavy, groove laden rock n roll.
At a time in which
individualism seems to be the ultimate solution for some, Planet of Zeus come
back with their highly anticipated fourth album, “Loyal to the pack”, an ode to
the benefits of teamwork. Being well known for their never ending signature
heavy riffs, gritty vocals and dancing grooves, the band decided to “shuffle
their deck of cards” and embark on a new musical direction, encompassing
melody, clean, but heartrending vocals and a newly found sense of dynamics.
This mixture seems to establish a signature sound for Planet of Zeus, a sound
that takes the listener on a journey throughout the history of heavy music.
From Lynyrd Skynyrd to Mastodon, the Allman Brothers Band to Queens of the
stone
age and AC/DC to Clutch.
