Planet of Zeus is a heavy rock band hailing from Athens, Greece, known for their powerful blend of classic rock, stoner, and southern metal influences that have resonated within the heavy rock community. The group formed in the early 2000s, and they quickly established themselves in the Greek rock scene with their energetic live performances and a sound that has been described as both aggressive and groove-laden. Consisting of Babis Papanikolaou (vocals and guitar), Stelios Provis (guitars), Giannis Vrazos (bass), and Serapheim Giannakopoulos (drums), the band has not only carved a distinct niche in the Greek music scene but has also gained recognition abroad.

Over the years, Planet of Zeus have released several albums that showcase their evolution as musicians and songwriters. "Eleven the Hard Way," which debuted in 2008, marked their explosive entry, followed by subsequent albums like "Macho Libre" (2011) and "Vigilante" (2014), which furthered their reputation for crafting compelling, riff-heavy rock music. Their 2016 release, "Loyal to the Pack," maintained their high-energy signature sound, while their more recent work, such as "Faith in Physics" (2019), sees the band delving into more complex, thematic content, reflecting their maturation and the dynamics of the modern world. Not merely a studio phenomenon, the band is renowned for their electric live shows, documented in releases such as "Planet of Zeus - Live in Athens." Beyond music records, they have also contributed to film soundtracks, including "Sworn to Avenge" from 'The Republic' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, demonstrating their versatility and appeal across different media.
