Zul!tas - The Trilogy (Name Your Price)

 


It is rare for us to write about an individual song, but this is great and it is three songs in one. Coming in at over 11 minutes long and it isn't Prog, whatever next? Zulitas is a band of independent underground artists from North Carolina.

The smorgasbord of interlinked bands provided a quartet and what a foursome! Originally a concept album written by Harry Harrison, wrote years ago, about his life to that point and was recorded to tape. Far more psychedelic, it was passed to Drummer, Marty, who promptly lost the only copy.

Harry had kept all the details of the songs in a binder and Marty and he co-wrote The Trilogy from three of those songs and re-recorded what you hear now with Taylor Casey on Bass and Matt Wentz on Guitar. You've heard an edited version of it on a recent Listening To This Week, here is the full monster.

As mentioned, we rarely cover individual songs away from the playlist, I can only remember one of similar length by Nick Frater years ago that we scribbled something for and that was very Todd Rundgren, again not Prog..

The song has everything from Pop Rock (although more Rock) to something Muse-ish, big heavy riffs to something more Blue Collar show song style. It is an astounding listen, truly awesome and more than worth your time. I can't wait to hear more from these four.


You can listen to and buy the song here.
