| | Description: | Four CD set. Emerging from the ashes of Southend-based late '60s psych-pop crew Cardboard Orchestra, heavy rock band ZIOR were one of the first acts to attach themselves at the turn of the decade to the occult-themed heavy rock element of the British underground scene. Although ZIOR never really threatened to replicate the commercial success of brand leaders Black Sabbath, their live shows were hugely theatrical events involving mock-sacrifices, staged fights and diabolic costumes and masks that terrified their young audiences and apparently freaked out other bands as well! They also left behind three albums that have been wildly collectable for many years. Their self-titled debut set ZIOR was issued in 1971 by the Nepentha label in a highly atmospheric gatefold sleeve design by the legendary Keef. A year or so later, Nepentha boss Larry Page put out the German-only release Every Inch A Man, an equally thrilling collection. Sandwiched between those two albums, ZIOR also pseudonymously recorded the LP The First Monument, which was promoted as the work of members of a witches' coven in downtown Essex. All three albums, plus ZIOR's 2018 reunion album Spirit Of The Gods, are now collected for the first time on Before My Eyes Go Blind, a 4-CD set that's presented in a clamshell box with replica album sleeve wallets, a lengthy new essay on the band and a number of evocative, previously unpublished photos."Before My Eyes Go Blind ~ The Complete Recordings" on CD brings together the full legacy of the cult British hard rock / proto-metal band Zior in one comprehensive anthology. This collection captures the band's raw, riff-driven sound, steeped in the late-60s and early-70s underground rock scene, with heavy guitars, blues-infused grooves and a dark, occult-tinged atmosphere. The CD is aimed at collectors and fans of early hard rock who appreciate unpolished, powerful performances and historically important rarities. Carefully compiled, it offers both key album tracks and lesser-known cuts (where available), allowing listeners to trace the group's evolution from rough, garage-like beginnings to more mature songwriting. The sound has been prepared for modern listening while retaining the analogue character that defines the band's era. Detailed liner notes (where included by the label) place the songs in their historical context and make the release attractive to both newcomers and long-time fans.
Zior were part of the early British heavy rock underground, active around the turn of the 1970s, and are often cited by collectors as a hidden gem of the proto-metal movement. Known for gritty vocals, thick guitar tones and songs that flirt with the darker aesthetic of the time, they built a cult following among fans of obscure hard rock. Although they never achieved mainstream chart success on the level of the giants of their era, original pressings of their recordings have long been sought after in collector circles, which underlines the enduring fascination with their music. This complete-recordings set makes their work widely accessible again and helps secure Zior's place in rock history as one of those bands whose influence and mystique grew long after their original run.
The CD is released by Cherry Red Records, a long-established UK label known for lovingly curated reissues, deep catalogue work and genre-spanning archival projects. Cherry Red has built a strong reputation for rescuing overlooked albums, presenting them with improved sound where sources allow, and adding extensive booklets, rare photos and expert essays. Their releases often appeal to serious music fans and collectors who value historical accuracy, thoughtful packaging and long-term availability beyond short-lived pressings. With "Before My Eyes Go Blind ~ The Complete Recordings", Cherry Red once again underlines its role as a specialist for high-quality reissues that preserve important chapters of rock history and make them discoverable for new generations of listeners. | | | No. of tracks: |
