Way far down at the end of the shelf, I had almost forgotten about this UK hard rocking monster from 1971.....this was a weird band, they released this album (a good one), changed their name to Monument (I Don't have that one), and changed back to Zior, at whch point I assume most had lost interest (I had)......that leaves us wih this one, and it's a good, pretty unknown piece of rocking sludge!.
Zior were singer/bassist Barry Skeels, guitarist/singer John Truba, Peter Brewer on drums, keyboards, and harp, and vocalist/keyboardit/bassist,flautist Kevin Bonser.....basically a progish-atempt to replicate the Black Sabbath sound, not necessarily a bad idea.....this is a pretty good album, a period piece to be sure, but this version is loaded with bonus tracks and comes (from me) quite h recommended, for all you hard rock/metal lovers out there! See whatcha think and gimme a full report.....an HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE (6'6") 17 YEAR OLD SON GRANT TODAY.....LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO SEE THOSE SHOWS WITH YOU LATER THIS SUMMER (BUDDY GUY in August, BLACK KEYS in September!)
Anyway, Zior.......01 I Really Do/02 Za Za Za Zilda/03 Love's Desire/04 New Land/05 Now I'm Sad/06 Give Me Love/07 Quabala/08 Oh Mariya/09 Your LifeWill Burn/10 I Was Fooling/11 Before My Eyes Go Blind/12 Rolling Thunder/13 Dudi Judi/14 Evoluton/15 Cat's Eyes/16 Strange Kind of Magic/17 Ride Me Baby/18 Entrance of the Devil/19 Every Inch a Man/20 Angel of the Highway
