Granicus was a short-lived band from Cleveland, OH. Their single, official release was this self-titled album which included tracks very reminiscent of another band, Led Zeppelin. Woody Leffel's vocals are haunting and very similar to Plant's. Granicus was signed to RCA records and called it quits after their only release.
Most people I play this record for think it's Zeppelin at first, so I can guarantee that fans of the Led will thoroughly enjoy this.
The tracks "Nightmare" and "Prayer" contain some of the most powerful vocals you'll hear from the 70's era of rock. It's a shame these guys never went on to further recordings. There is, however, a recording of a live performance that the band did in November of 1973. That will be uploaded at a later date.
