The Power Of Zeus The Gospel According To Zeus 1970 Hard Rock

The Power Of Zeus - The Gospel According To Zeus (1970)Hard-Rock

The Gospel According To Zeus is the first and only album by the American band The Power Of Zeus.
This is the first album released by Rare Earth, a Motown subsidiary. Many say that the reason why this album failed to get a public, is exactly because of the lack of experience of Motown to promote a Hard-Rock album.
It starts with two kick-ass songs "It Coulnd't Be Me" and "In The Night" both with great guitar line and an haunting organ. And then, suddenly, a calm song, "Green Grass & Clover" theres no guitar solo nor nothing. just a calm religious song. "The Death Trip", now this song has some fantastic howling vocals, the subject of the song is of course death. Nice guitar on this one "No Time" its nothing extraordinary but it has some really nice guitar solos. "Hard Working Man" has got to be one of my favourite songs at the moment i write this, so caution the melody is really catchy. I was expecting a better ending but eh this one is nice too, was waiting for something more definitive, "The Sorcerer Of Isis (Ritual Of The Mole)".
Great Hard-Rock album with a far-out cover. just look at those colours. Wow!
