Thorns & Wounds

The Hungarian band named Zord was formed in October 2000. The name Zord is a Hungarian word that means “austere” or “bleak” in English. In the Hungarian rock and metal scene it is trendy to write and sing songs with Hungarian lyrics under English band names, but these guys often goes against the stream so they set out on an inverse way. The purpose was to teach foreign rockers one single Hungarian word, but write their lyrics in English, so wherever they go, their thoughts, Zord songs can be understood easily. Zord’s music tempts to a world of metal with heavy guitar riffs with some progressive elements. The main characters of their songs are determined by powerful chords, dynamic but sometimes twisted rhythms, rough vocals with blazing backing vocals and a bit of pale psychedelic feeling.
