Drums.ABOUT
KORU are a five-piece band from south east of England. The roots of KORU can be traced back to Sep 2007 when brainchild of the band and guitarist, Behrad, being fed up with lack of decent rock bands with a fresh sound, decided to put a killer band together.
It was not as easy as first thought but after more than 15 months and 67 auditions later KORU was born in early 2009.
The name KORU is a Maori name, symbolising new life, growth, strength and peace. The name was put forward by the band’s frontman, whos homeland is New Zealand.
In just a few months KORU have written and composed many outstanding, enlightening and powerful songs and managed to achieve what many bands cannot in years. They are versatile, enthusiastic and have pure artistic accomplishment in the work they have produced so far. KORU have their own unique style in lyrics and music although classic metal influences can all be heard.
In Oct 2009 KORU started recording their self-funded debut album Medusa. The end result is an amazing 14 track album which was released on May 2010.
The birth of KORU is just the beginning. This band will unfurl and grow in strength. Keep your eyes wide open as KORU have an abundance of luxuries coming your way soon!!!!
