Superb Greek band from the early '70s. This is their first effort from 1972.
A heavy progressive blues sound with ripping acid guitars at the forefront. .
"Socrates (Drank The Conium)" begun from the ashes of garage band "Persons" in 1966,
around excellent guitarist Giannis Spathas, bass player and singer Antonis Tourkogiorgis
and full-dynamic drummer Elias Boukouvalas. Vocalist was Elias Asvestopoulos, later the
leader of "2002".
Early 1970, Persons became "Socrates Drank The Conium" and turned into Greece's most expressive rock band. All the rest is history...
