Socrates Drank the Conium is a Greek progressive/blues rock band that formed in 1969[1] and was active in the early 1970s. Their sound was reminiscent of other such bands of the approximate period like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jeff Beck and some of the more progressive, experimental works of Black Sabbath. Their categorization as "progressive" can be attributed mainly to their abundant use of less-than-conventional time signatures. The group would go through many lineup changes throughout the years, but the two core members have remained: guitarist Yannis Spathas and bassist/singer Antonis Tourkoyorgis. This song is taken from their excellent third album -On the wings-
Good music!

Greek progressive hard rock at it's best. The twin lead guitars are mind-bending! Elements of Greek folk music and time signatures are fused with hard rock in a very unique way. Excellent!
