Power Of Zeus - The Sorcerer Of Isis (1970 US, Detroit) | Psych Hard Rock | Vinyl Rip

Power Of Zeus - The Gospel According To Zeus Released in 1970 on Rare Earth Records (RS516 / R 516) This is the only album by Power Of Zeus, a Detroit hard psych group originally known as Gangrene. They were one of the first rock acts signed to Rare Earth, the Motown imprint that tried to tap into the heavy psych and rock audience of the early 70s. The sound is organ heavy, with fuzz guitar leads, pounding drums, and a darker edge that leans toward proto metal at times. It feels raw and ambitious, with flashes of prog influence layered into the heavy psych foundation. While the album did not get much traction on release, it has since gained a cult reputation among collectors of early hard rock and psych. Recommended tracks: The Death Trip - a sprawling jam full of fuzz guitar and dark organ, considered the highlight of the LP. The Sorcerer Of Isis (The Ritual Of The Mole) - the closing track, with ritualistic energy and a proto metal feel. For comparison: If you are into bands like Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster, or early Uriah Heep, you will find a lot to like here. There is also a Detroit heaviness that connects them loosely to bands like SRC and Frijid Pink. 🎧 This rip is from my own vinyl copy. 🌀 Full playlist of my vinyl rips: 👉 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 More vinyl clips and photos on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ Tracklist: 00:00 It Couldn't Be Me 03:46 In The Night 07:35 Green Grass & Clover 10:40 I Lost My Love 12:44 The Death Trip 20:09 No Time 23:31 Uncertain Destination 28:15 Realization 31:00 Hard Working Man 33:08 The Sorcerer Of Isis (The Ritual Of The Mole) #PowerOfZeus #TheGospelAccordingToZeus #RareEarthRecords #DetroitRock #HardPsych #ProtoMetal #PsychedelicRock #VinylRip #VinylCommunity #VinylCollector #RareVinyl #VinylPiper
