Zior, hailing from England's Southend,was formed in the late '60s by a quartet of local R&B scene veterans.
They were a popular local live act in their day, not surprising considering their wild stage shows and satanically themed set props. Legend has it that unlike the more coy Black Sabbath, Zior were serious practitioners of the black arts, for all the good it did their career.
Highly collectable and exceptionally underground Hard Rock outfit. Vocalist Keith Bonser is ex-ESSEX FIVE and CARDBOARD ORCHESTRA. Peter Brewer had been a member of THE NIGHTRIDERS. Bassist Barry Skeels had once been a member of the delightfully named BUMS.
ZIOR's debut 1971 album, issued on the Nepentha label, drew similarities to higher profile Heavy Metal bands, not just due to the heaviness of the music but also the album cover, designed by the same studio that had shot the first BLACK SABBATH album.The same artist that Black Sabbath had used on the first album; an artist called Keef.
ZIOR switched to Intercord for the release of another obscure 1972's masterpiece 'Every Inch A Man' on the Global imprint. Released only in Germany this album featured an intro of pseudo-occult ramblings and the track 'Entrance Of The Devil' replete with maniacal laughter and terrified screams.
The members of ZIOR released a black magic flavoured Hard Rock album under pseudonyms as MONUMENT on the Beacon Label in 1971.
The first ZIOR album was given a re-release through the Italian Akarma label. In later years Bonzer gained notoriety by dressing up in a giant dragon suit to appear on the BBC TV series 'Jim'll Fix It'. He would also try his arm as a puppeteer and open his own nightclub in Southend.
Zior was a 4 piece band but on both albums the 4th member is missing on the photo, weird!
The first album came out on Nepentha records... Zior was as heavy as Black Sabbath as Budgie as early Zeppelin as Deep Purple as Uriah Heep as early Grand Funk and Cactus. "Every Inch A Man" is truly one of the best heavy rock album ever released, they deserved so much more... Much Highly recommended! (thepiratebay.sx)
