The unauthorised tour-biography entitled “Hammer of The Gods” was written by the head of road the US tour road crew of this famous British rock band.
Q1. What is the name of the band? (Simple)
Q2. What quote is the book title lifted from? (Harder)
And to hell with "unwritten rules":
Players, please do answer from memory or even just guessing -- not from web-searches.
If you don't know, you don't know -- that's fine!
P.S. -- Wow. Somebody really wants me off this site (RE: the downvote).

The book title comes from a quote from Jimmy Page; when he was asked in the early 1970s about Led Zeppelin and what he feels the band is about, part of his reply included “… the power, the mystery and the hammer of the gods”.
The book is an interesting read which gave an eye-opening (albeit hardly surprising these days) insight into the band’s life on the road during a US tour. Much the book’s claims are heavily denied and discredited by the remaining band members.
