Heavier Than God

Doom/Punk band from Athens, Greece. Strong elements of Black Sabbath, Black Flag, EyeHateGod, Entombed, Converge, Electric Wizard, Raging Speedhorn, Refused and Melvins can be traced in their sound, among other things... Zak A. screams his guts out, Jim P. abuses the guitars, Aggelos P. rips the bass, Costas shows the drums a real good time... Heavier Than God were formed in 2003 by Jim P. (3) (Guitar - also member of The Darkstar, Skindread, Devilworx), George Roulos (Bass), Costas (2) (Drums - also member of Lord 13, Space Slavery, Mahakala), Big Badda (Guitar - also member of Mahakala) and Zak A. (Vocals - also member of One Block Society). They soon launched into performing shows, sharing the stage with bands like Misery Index, Integrity (2), Nile (2) and Electric Wizard (2). Unfortunately the band came to an end in 2005 for unspecified reasons, despite the public's positive response. Six years later, in 2011, the band made the decision to regroup. With Nikos Kollias (also of The Darkstar) replacing George on the bass and Big Badda not interested in rejoining the band, Heavier Than God started performing live again as a four-piece alongside Septic Flesh, Dark Funeral, Nightstalker (2), Cancer Bats and High On Fire. In 2015 they self-released their first album, ridiculously entitled The Self-Titled Album, in digital format. Some time later Nikos Kollias (after playing the bass for quite some time - as well as producing, engineering & mixing the album) decided to leave the band and Aggelos P. from Black Hat Bones is the band's current bass player (also responsible for the album's cover artwork).
