RELEASED 5.3.2012
2011 album from the Lebanese Metal band. Their sound is a blend of several musical and cultural influences, as well as a clear message for change. It's not just the music that's groundbreaking; the lyrics tackle social problems, politics, change, love and acceptance - global issues that can be applied anywhere, not just the strife-ridden Middle East where the band hails from. That's not to say The Kordz are primarily a political band; rather, they are constantly pushing to transform the standard Rock idioms with the experiences gained by growing-up in the hard and often harsh reality of life in a war zone.
