About: Beirut-based band The Kordz offer up a massive sounding album, Beauty & The East, pushing the boundaries of hard rock and Arabic-musical structures to create a unique offering. From the opening atmospheric track Coma Nation to its follow-up Deeper In, the intentions of this album are clear - create a unique and diverse rock album, built around traditional Arabic-musical structures. We don't often, probably since Burrows' The Tea Party, hear traditional Arabic music and structures blended so well with heavy, well produced, rock music. If anything, this record proves that this region can produce unique, heavy and good music that is unique and for this The Kordz should be applauded. Adapted from a review by TripleW.
