Zacharius Carls

Zacharius Carls formed in the late 1960s with Zacharius Carls on vocals, Ethan Blackwood on guitar, Silas Grey on bass, and Isaac Stone on drums. Their sound was often described as folk noir, atmospheric and introspective, which some critics found too somber at the time. They released albums like 'Acoustica' and 'Astral Projection' during their relatively short run.

Their most enduring song is 'Aeroplane Blues,' a melancholic track that became something of an anthem for their fans. Other songs in their catalog include 'Big River,' 'Black Leather,' 'Breakdown,' and 'Darklands.' Rumors about drug use and psychological issues circulated around the band, adding to a certain mystique that followed them.

After they broke up, details about their final years remained unclear, but 'Aeroplane Blues' kept finding new listeners. The song's haunting quality, along with others like 'Crimson Horse' and 'I Used To Travel,' gave their music a lingering presence long after they were gone.
