Planet Of Zeus 'The Beast Within'

Greek Stoner/Heavy Rock band Planet Of Zeus
"The Beast Within" from the album
"Vigilante" (April 2014)

Planet of Zeus are a heavy rock, southern metal band from Athens, Greece. They were formed in 2000 and since then have extensively toured around Greece, playing in every venue possible, ranging from shitholes to stadiums. Their raw , sincere and constantly evolving live performances have secured them a loyal and hardcore underground following base, which exceeds Greece's geographical boarders and has led them to sharing the stage with acts like Hermano and Brant Bjork, Monster Magnet,Karma to Burn, Eyehategod, Church of Misery. Their highly successful 2011 Greek tour, which included all Greek major cities, their participation in the Stoned from the Underground Festival in Germany and their cult music videos led to this year's sold out Planet of Zeus's Athenian concert. A concert which took place in front of an 800 people audience.

Planet of Zeus have released two albums. "Eleven the hard way", in April 2008 through Casket Music/ Copro Records (UK) and "Macho Libre", in May 2011, through B-Otherside Records. Both albums have sold-out and are waiting to be rereleased. Planet of Zeus's songs have been also featured in several underground compilations such as the Spinalonga vol. 1&2. Both albums have received attention and reviews beyond expectation.

Quotes:

"...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)

"..you could let the groove flow in your blood, you could count how many biblical riffs could fit in an album and how many of them Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity would be jealous of..." (Metal Hammer, Greece)

Much of "Macho Libre's" success is due to the fact that it contains 11 songs, which draw inspiration from the current social and economic crisis in Greece and express frustration, anger and thirst for revenge.

This year Planet of Zeus are planning their spring European tour, their summer European Festival appearances, already confirmed for Rockwave festival, Athens with Paradise Lost, Machine Head and Black Sabbath, and are currently writing songs for their third album.

Η φωνη το Mπαμπη ειναι η οργη του ΔΙΑ ειναι ονομα και πραγμα η μπαντα !!!PLANET ZEUS RULES!!!

[Razorsnake]

DO AS THOU WILT 
AND EMBRACE THE CORROSION 
TWIN LUSTFUL SEEDS 
DEEP IN OUR THOUGHTS 
DEEP IN OUR SOULS 

CONDEMNED TO ROT 
FROM THE DAY THAT WE ARE BORN 
BUILD OUR OWN PATH 
THROUGH THE CAVES 
OR AMONGST THE CLOUDS 

NO SLEEP FOR US 
TILL WE BECOME WHAT WE RESENT 

ONE HANGMAN’S NOOSE 
PENDING OVER OUR SHOULDERS 
ONE START, TWO ENDS 
WOUNDS OF TRUTH 
OR BLISS OF LIES 

NO CRIES FOR HELP 
WE ‘RE OFF TO SALVATION 
THERE’S NO WAY BACK 
UNTIL THE END 
TOWARDS THE LIGHT 

NO SLEEP FOR US 
TILL WE BECOME WHAT WE RESENT 

WHEN YOUR JOURNEY ENDS 
AND YOU HEAD BACK HOME 
DON’T FORGET TO LOCK 
THE BEAST YOU ‘VE BECOME

Το καλυτερο κομματι! Και το αγαπημενο μου απο πλανετ

[manosth]

Με αυτο τον δίσκο ανεβήκανε αρκετά επίπεδα. Δεν ειναι απλα χαβαλέδες που παίζουν δυνατα κ γκαρίζουν. Αλλά θα έλεγα ότι ειναι καλλιτεχνεία σε heavy rock. Αυτο είναι το καλύτερο τραγούδι του δίσκου.

[AstonWirz]

They played in the city I live 3 days ago. I didn't notice. I hate myself.
FUCKING AWESOME BAND

[witchsabbath]

Fucking cosmic riffs!  My balls shrank a little holy shit!

Great drums, guitar, and bass absolutely ruined by terrible, ear-rending vocals.
