Last seen on these shores supporting the mighty Clutch, PoZ are excited to be heading back for a fistful of headline dates. At a time in which individualism seems to be the ultimate solution for some ‘Loyal to the Pack’, is an ode to the benefits of teamwork. Being well known for their never ending signature heavy riffs, gritty vocals and unmistakeable grooves, the band decided to “shuffle their deck of cards” and push the boundaries of their musical direction, encompassing melody, clean, but heartrending vocals, a newly found sense of dynamics in amongst their colossal trademark riffs. Serving to a establish a signature sound for Planet of Zeus, a sound that takes the listener on a journey throughout the history of heavy music; from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Mastodon, The Allman Brothers Band to Queens of the Stone Age and AC/DC to Clutch. Right now, Planet of Zeus are the biggest rock band in Greece, consistently selling out every venue they play. Their annual Athens headlining show attracted more than 3.000 people and set a record of attendance in Greece's underground rock scene. Their raw, sincere and constantly evolving live performances have secured them a loyal and hardcore underground following throughout the world. After 5 consecutive European tours, including a slot on Metal Hammer’s ‘Lords Of The Riff II’ UK tour and several high profile festivals (notably a triumphant appearance at Bloodstock Open Air), Planet of Zeus finished 2015 as main support for Clutch's 2015 Psychic Warfare European Tour. https://www.facebook.com/planetofzeus  In support of their upcoming record, "Division Of Blood" (out May 27th via NoiseArt Records), the Greek thrash metal tank Suicidal Angels will join forces with Canada-based heavy metal monsters Skull Fist (which are working on their new record at the moment) and thrash metal newcomers Evil Inavders from Belgium, to tour Europe this fall. Suicidal Angels states: "Soon after the festival season comes to an end we’ll hit the road again for the European part of the Division of Blood World Tour. Along with Skull Fist and Evil Invaders we join forces to offer you a young, fresh and killer package! Loud stages, killer nights and a lot of headbanging is what comes as a promise from this combination! Division of Blood European Assault it is, check the poster below, choose your town, pick your date and meet you all soon. It’s gonna be killer!" Skull Fist adds: "This tour is something we are wicked syked about, It'll be with a new album, with new shoes, new pants, new attitude and after much needed brain rest, this will be the first time in our history with our 3rd album in which we've decided it's all about the music braa.
