Zior - Zior

Review by Raymond Marr

Zior's self-titled album, released in 1971, is a psychedelic and hard rock masterpiece that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album features heavy guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and trippy lyrics that transport listeners into a world of their own.

From the opening track "I Really Do," Zior sets the tone for the entire album, with its driving beat and catchy chorus. The album's standout track, "New Land," is a nearly nine-minute epic that takes listeners on a journey through a mystical landscape filled with swirling guitars and haunting vocals.

Other highlights include "Dudi Judy," a bluesy number with a catchy hook, and "Love's Desire," a slow-burning ballad that showcases the band's softer side. The album's closing track, "Oh Mariya," is a haunting acoustic number that leaves a lasting impression.
