On their much anticipated sophomore album 'A Hiding Place', the Münster/Germany-based blues rock four-piece ZODIAC, in many respects, embarks on new terrain. Compared to the critically acclaimed debut album 'A Bit of Devil', the songwriting has gained in depth, the sound is more forceful and clear, and the vocals are more varied. Due to their reputation as an enthusiastic live act – last year, for instance, they enthralled their audiences all across Europe, amongst others on WDR Rockpalast, at the Roadburn festival as well as support for Graveyard, Spiritual Beggars or the Sword – in 2013 the dream of any aspiring band is going to come true for them: Apart from a planned European tour in November, they are embarking on a four-week US tour as support for stoner-legends Monster Magnet.
