About Me

Planet Of Zeus were formed back in 2000,when Babis and Yog decided that they could not express themselves within the bands they had played til then. Two years later the band was eventually established as a trio with J.V. on the bass. The band started giving high-energy live performances, playing with several greek bands in Athens and eventually allover Greece. In the summer of 2004 they decided that the time had come to stop fooling around and record their first demo cd (LOOP 430). The second recording of the band took place almost one year after Loop 430. Two of the band's songs were included in the first two Spinalonga Records compilations "In the Junkyard vol.1 and 2". On July '06 Planet of Zeus finally started the recordings of their debut album which came to be "Eleven the Hard Way". At the beginning of year 2007 a new member came on board. Yog grabbed the guitar and Serapheim G. took Yog's place behind the drums. During all these years, Planet of Zeus have just been trying to enjoy themselves playing music and continue what bands like Motorhead, Black Sabbath, and Jimi Hendrix's Experience where doing in the past as well as mixing it with todays heavy sound and their own personal flavour.Some bands landed on planet earth to change the face of music...some other bands just came to rock...and that's what Planet of Zeus best do..Contact the band at [email protected]

Sounds Like: Something's Wrong music video

“…this thrusting, snarling trio has all the menace and power of a haulage vehicle rolling downhill with no breaks… but who needs a brain, when your face is melting?” Kerrang Magazine (KKK)

“…Fuzzy and dense-sounding, and with a set of effect pedals that sound like they came out of the 70s, they tip their hat to Sabbath on the excellent Space Loop 430, but are equally adept at sounding doomed, bluesy and broke on the crawling Stab ME” Metal Hammer UK (7/10)

“…many dudes overseas would give their moustache to have composed some of their riffs” Metal Hammer GR (8/10)

“…a trio of hairy-assed stoners…indeed” Bruce Dickinson (Friday Rock Show@ BBC’s 6music radio)

“…I assure you that if you listen to fucking awesome tunes like "Supernothing" and "Woke up Dead" you will bang your fucking head like a lunatic.” Metal-Temple.com (3,5 /5)

“…Eleven the Hard Way eats you alive from the first song…Dirty Loud Music-harsh, almost savage vocals. Just like we dig ‘em.” Crackhitler.com

“…absolute blend of stoner rock and metal, just like Monster Magnet and Down teaching it” Avopolis.gr (3,5 /5)

“…10 (plus one hidden track) intensive Stoner / Heavy Rock songs with a mighty hit on that album called SOMETHING’S WRONG….” Daredevilrecords.com (8/10)

“…you could swear they hail from small-town America. I swear you can almost hear the checked shirts…. this is a dirty album of dirty music for dirty people.” subba-culture.com (3/5)

“…Babis chews tobacco and spits furious lyrics, shallows water and vomits petroleum…” Rocking.gr

“…there is an onward-directed chaos, which is perfectly tailored for a live act” Soundmag.gr

“…the album is not only recommended but it is COMPULSORY for all the rockers…” Rockap.gr

“…Seriously good Down/Clutch flavoured groove metal, big riffs, big voices and are you sure there’s only three of them?” organart.demon.co.uk


"...this is an album that you'd never expect to make it into your life in a zillion years, yet actually supersedes your expectations to such an awesome degree, that you may end up having it in your top ten rock albums of 2008 – yes, it really is THAT hot!!" btinternet.com
