[Live Report] Planet Of Zeus, Hidden In The Baseme by DowntunedMag
Wow! These youngsters were a fucking surprise! Despite of their young age and the fact that they're a newly formed band, they got up on stage and let loose their heavy stoner storm. They were very tight as a band, they delivered some really cool grooves from their demo and performed a fine cover of Kyuss' "Green Machine". I totally loved these guys. Awesome tunes, amazing energy on stage and of course they have the credentials for greater things to come. Check them out if you have the chance!

The Sludgelord by Sludgelord
Dope Flood are a superb Stoner Rock/Heavy Rock Band mixing modern rock/metal influences superbly into their music.Their debut EP – “A Planet On Four Legs” is heavy rocking blast of top notch grooves and brilliant Stoner Rock riffs. It contains 3 songs and runs for a brilliant 18 mins or so.The EP is a total blast from start to finish.The vocals are a standout as well.For a band only going for a short amount of time they do have the songs to back up their undeniable talent.The best track on the EP is the 7 minute epic – Shades which shows the band in a top-notch stoner-rocking creative mood.The EP is superbly produced and its not hard to see why it’s getting acclaimed from the Metal Community.I cant wait to see what the guys will deliver as their next release. If it’s an EP, Split Release or full length then these guys could have a very bright future indeed. Another outstanding example of Greek Stoner Rock. Brilliant stuff.Highly Recommended.

Infernal Masquerade by Dark Emperor
A very mainstream sound. Immediately opening “Uncertain” with some powerful riffing the band’s sound becomes evidently mainstream, with the very familiar sounding vocal style.Sounds like music we hear on the ‘alternative rock’ radio stations. The song itself is very well crafted and catchy, and if consider the band is from Greece, then they sound exactly like an American band taking a crack at this genre. “Shades” starts with a slower pace and takes a bit to build up, very nicely we might add.You can fully appreciate it with the dreamy sounding guitars. The vocals again steal the show and deliver a very powerful performance. With more powerful guitar work, “A Planet of 4 Legs” closes this release and nicely rounds up the band’s presentation card. The band shows in this EP how they have the skills to create catchy and effective songs.They have musical skills.If you are wondering how a Greek band can sound so much like an American one, head to their website and download it.

A Greek Invasion... by Ride With The Devil .Blog
Struth, since discovering the awesome Planet Of Zeus I've been blitzed with emails from similar bands also hailing from Greece. It's pretty great too, as every band has been completely dripping with quality. No shoddy demo's, rushed EP's or blatant rip off's of other bands, just pure unadulterated quality. So when I received an email from Cris and the guys in Dope Flood I was pretty eager to heard what they could do. As it seems, they can produce and master the hell out of a recording! The demo's only 3 tracks but they sure haven't skimped on the effort. Manolis has one hell of a rock voice similar to that of Layne Staley of Alice In Chains. Admittedly not a band I ever really warmed to that much, but with that style of vocals fused with a Crowbar/Kyuss/Zakk Wylde mix of heavy riffage, it sure has won me over. The guys sure do have talent and I can't wait to hear a full length album.

Dope Flood - A Planet on Four Legs by The Hoof .Blog
They are good and gotta stay on the cutting edge i guess. So enjoy this. Its got some really cool elements. some Sweet Guitar Shredage and some almost Scott Weiland sounding vox. Pretty good shit honestly.

Temple Of Perdition by Stéphane le Saux
We've got here a band that is pretty much inspired by american stuff, blending Heavy Rock and Stoner with some Grunge overtones, which makes the structures and approach sounding pretty much 90's. "A planet..." is a competitive debut, generally powerful, heavy and catchy with a massive production, though bordering a bit too much on a modern sound . The 3 songs show a very tight musicianship with groovy guitars, sharped solos and a punching rythmic section; vocals are pretty straight but on some parts eye too much on "charming" Grunge , sounding a bit commercial. DOPE FLOOD has potencially all requested qualities to become one of the leaders of the active greek scene and I'm sure they've been working hard since this ep was released to prepare a smashing full-length, so we should keep an attentive eye on them.

Stonerhead Let Groove Your Brains Tonight by Stonerhead
Dope Flood have some of classical stoner and a lot of blues hooks and rocks as hell...nice vocal-lines...kicks ass like Planet of Zeus, 1000 mods...also enjoy the solos, mighty part changes...do it!!!

Heavy Planet by
This EP from Greek band Dope Flood is a fine example of how to do "it" and by "it" I mean ROCK! Dope Flood's sound is an overabundance of heavy rock drenched with a barrage of crunchy guitars, well-sung vocals, and slow head-banging grooves. Vocalist Manos has an amazing vocal sensibility. I was hearing everything from Layne Staley to Jim Morrison, albeit with a snarling grittiness. It is apparent that these guys have the knack for writing some pretty catchy tunes and the production value for a 3-song EP was not too shabby. Check out Dope Flood today!

The Hard Rock Show Australia by Shayne Bishop and Andrew Brown
They are playing a style of music I would not expect to come out of Greece. When I put the CD on I was pleasantly surprise to hear nice southern influence piece of music, it was really cool. It blow my mind to hear that this is from Europe, it kicks ass, it’s very good.

Downtuned Mag by Thanos
These newcomers have a catchy, groovy sound and their compositions work like a charm."Uncertain" is the opening track,incorporating some intense guitar riffs, a wonderful drum-work (you'll find plenty of it in all three tracks) and Manos' excellent - in my opinion - vocals which are one of the major characteristics of their sound. "Shades" comes next, balancing between desert rock "laziness" and some furious bursts showing us for one more time that Dope Flood know how to write catchy tunes. Last track is "A Planet On Four Legs", a high tension track too with some laid back moments in it but also a lot of powerhouse guitar work. I left mentioning the bass for the end 'cause Asterios in all three tracks makes an excellent work by providing the groove and thickness so they can penetrate your brain.For me Dope Flood is one the biggest hopes in Greek heavy rock scene.A remarkable sample of their music. They know how to write quality songs and how to play them right with soul and passion.

Stoner Rock Hungary by Rico RokkaRolla
A görög zenekar 2011-es felvétele kicsit késve, de megérkezet hozzánk. Manos - ének, Cris - gitár , Asterios - bass és Bill - dobok felállású zenekar egy 3 számos ep-vel rukkolt akkor elő. Amolyan igényes rockzene ez, phaserock :). az van aztán benne rendesen. Hallásra ismerem ezt a fajta stílusú rockot, tudom, hogy írtunk is már ilyesfajta zenékről vag 3-4 zenekarról biztosan, de most egynek sem ugrik be a neve, olyan grunge (na ebben nem vagyok otthon - biztosan ezért nem tudom hovatenni) stoner rock behatásokkal. Midenesetre kellemes hallgatnivaló, mindenki a helyén van, komolyan jó kis cucc ez. Úgy gondolom Joshi kolléga majd kiigazítja a hiányosságaimat.
