“Afterlife”… Planet of Zeus’s sixth album finds them reinventing themselves rather than the wheel. After their prophetic, pre-Covid release “Faith in Physics” and the consecutive postponements of their European and North American tours, the band took a deep dive into its own vulnerability and managed to come back stronger and more dangerous than ever before.

No matter how far humanity and technology has reached, people always seem to be puzzled by the same old questions. From the ancient Greek philosophers, to Dostoevsky, Hesse and the average bloke on the corner. A blend of failed relationships, parenthood, sobriety, the constant search for a higher purpose and the thin line between “beneficence and rascality” with a unique and adventurous modern heavy rock sound, “Afterlife” is a perfect musical representation of the beauty and the curse of the human condition.
