Za Za Za Zilda

Za Za Za Zilda was released in 1971 on the Nepentha label, a short-lived subsidiary of Phonogram Records known for its eclectic and experimental artist roster. The album serves as the second studio release by the British band Zior, a group that operated at the intersection of hard rock, progressive blues, and the burgeoning heavy metal scene of the early 1970s. The record emerged during a period of experimentation within the British underground music circuit, reflecting the theatrical and sometimes occult-influenced aesthetic that defined the band's stage presence.

The album's design and sound were heavily influenced by the band's focus on dark, atmospheric rock, incorporating brass sections and organ-heavy arrangements that were hallmark features of the era's progressive sound. While Zior never achieved mainstream commercial success, the record has gained a cult following among aficionados of early 1970s heavy rock and progressive psych-blues. It is frequently sought after by collectors of the Nepentha label catalog for its historical significance as a snapshot of the period's underground rock experimentation.
