Wry 03:37
WRY Often heard it’s worth doing Up to us, just keep trying Hold on, the world is ours, We can’t control it even for an hour Refr.: My wry face is shining back From the mirror in pitch black Burnt in my nerves, shredding my brain Just close my eyes but it’s all in vain Now I see my world fall apart Too much lost, too little resort It was just a casual ward Yet leaving it is brutally hard Refr. Wry…, wry… There is no one to rely on There is no reason to go on… My inner self is a whore Rotting deep from the core Refr. This wry face I’m not sure, if it’s mine or not This wry face So miserable, so helpless Oh God, just let me go, just let me go This wry face… Can you see my wry smile? Do you feel the stenchy bile Gushing like foul swill From the rusty pail of goodwill? Refr. Wry…, wry…, wry…, wry…

Peripheria 03:30
PERIPHERIA The most robust bridge is gonna fall, too Since, there is no one to go through Who’d care about it? Rivers dried up We were the bridges; rivers ran in our hearts… Pretended to join the world, the lucky ones But life in the twilight zone is goddamn harsh Limbless store-window puppets and wreck fairies Rub along on the peripheries Peripheria conceals The eager face of greed Peripheria guarantees Sly-boot realm of the weed Drifted from life, no chance to reveal The meaning of this senseless gear Set afire, mentally raped and herded By self-proclaimed fake prophets Peripheria conceals The eager face of greed Peripheria guarantees Sly-boot realm of the weed Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria Solo Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria Solo Peripheria conceals The eager face of greed Peripheria guarantees Sly-boot realm of the weed Backed by brain-dead mamelukes Wallow in well-coined slogans and whoops Chiseling a bedlamite world The mob gladly dies for a clod of earth Peripheria conceals The eager face of greed Peripheria guarantees Sly-boot realm of the weed Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria Welcome to Peripheria That’s how it goes in Peripheria … Peripheria

BLUE HATRED CACOPHONY Pure hatred against blue background Arouse brutal emotions Funded by the nodding public Butcher work, but it’s just fun… Fueled hatred against blue background Humanity is trampled down Appearances are deceptive Losses are just marginal… Blue hatred is pouring on me It all stinks; it’s felony Masses are proudly blaring The Blue Hatred Cacophony The magician wants to wear the crown Humans are sawn on the stage The squeaking nation is just a clown, Tell me the reason, for god’s sake That freak can not cast any spell But the show seems convincing Malicious and mean intentions Guide the hands of the dwarf king Blue hatred is pouring on me It all stinks; it’s felony Masses are proudly blaring The Blue Hatred Cacophony Solo Blue hatred is pouring on me It all stinks; it’s felony Masses are proudly blaring The Blue Hatred Cacophony Our daily mail is pure hatred now Trash talks are the only hints All lashed up by cruel white fears Of the intellectually skints Lies without any consequences Words of half-truths are sputtered Guide us on the road to nowhere Where true reflections ain’t uttered Blue hatred is pouring on me It all stinks; it’s felony Masses are proudly blaring The Blue Hatred Cacophony

Villainy 03:36
VILLAINY Been away for three decades Keeled over and fully decayed A trifler of axed and denied roots Let down, hit, floored and drooled Fertilized with fiendish depression Stained by crawling verbal aggression Drifted away from real existence Unable to maintain, maintain persistence This outrageous villainy Will always, will always, will always hover over… This outrageous villainy Will never be, will never be, will never be forgiven Will never be, will never be forgiven Solo Fraying face conscience-smitt Is just like a grimacing glitch Filled with brutally negative attitude The villain will never get it through Refugee of idealism and naivety Drowned in the puddle of depravity May the ruthless arms of oblivion Scatter the remains of the Villain! This outrageous villainy Will always, will always, will always hover over… This outrageous villainy Will never be, will never be, will never be forgiven Will never be, will never be forgiven

PARASITE HATCHERY On the bottom of the ultimate compliance regime Dwarf oligarchies shiver in their nano-realms Servants and subjects contend for grace Granted by overlords of basest instincts The parasite hatcher laughs at us Pushes the shoddies in the morass Feels no regret, feels no shame Takes your vigor but you are to blame Shades over us Parasites feed on us We’re just foodstuff… Parasite hatchery Sits on the top of the rubbish heap Rules the mob of the great heath Parasite hatcher gloates on the fools They all shad blood for ghouls Solo Parasites creep from the hatchery This weird company loves misery Victories of desires over facts Lead us straight to the woefullest acts Can see the masters of bungle On the top of the national dunghill? Take themselves so seriously Grovel and drool rigorously Shades over us Parasites feed on us We’re just foodstuff… Parasite hatchery Their foolish talk in the mask of pathos Is just a mocking glass of mental bathos Oh, those decent assholes without ethos Fear driven masses stagger in chaos…

H-Mob 03:54
H-MOB Black-clad bald figures are marching Flags of ancient heroes are waving Wreak the fool's anger upon the weak Reign of the mob; kinda total freak Hoards of boastful stuffed-shirt rogues Booth revolutionists and bribed fools Control the flock by flattery or threat And the grazing sheep just keep quiet Refrain Drop the H-Mob It’s worse than a thousand H-bombs Drop the H-Mob It’s worse than a thousand H-bombs Drop the H-Mob It’s worse than a thousand H-bombs Drop the H-Mob It’s worse than a thousand H-bombs Thousands have left the homeland The abyss is right beyond the next bend Live one day to the next in vain In an inhuman world of bane Drifting towards the shades of the past Wresting the chance from honesty’ grasp Callously treading on bagging hands But who cares these withering trends? Refrain Solo Black-clad bald figures are marching Flags of ancient heroes are waving Wreak the fool's anger upon the weak Reign of the mob; kinda total freak Hoards of boastful stuffed-shirt rogues Booth revolutionists and bribed fools Control the flock by flattery or threat And the grazing sheep just keep quiet Refrain

Expulsion 03:53
EXPULSION This long journey seems to come to its end Standing at the border of the Promised Land Green hills and rippling streams are in sight You’ve left the ruins and corpses far behind Chilled to the marrow, so many were fallen Starved to death, so many, so many were broken Loneliness of the long distance refugees Was the only aiding fellow all the way At the gates of the Promised Land You’ve just got what you deserve What else could the verdict be? Expulsion, just get outta here… Expulsion Just get outta here… Solo Overcome impasses so many times Lost a piece of your soul by every mile Wallowed in the mud, crawled in the dust Immersed in the despair of the outcast Vision of a better life, or just to survive Fear and humiliation in your hopeless eyes No mercy for the children of the needless Their otiose efforts are merely helpless Religious and social supremacy Inhuman acts of ruthless accuracy The free world is tied by barbwire Portioned expulsion is the welcome… At the gates of the Promised Land You’ve just got what you deserve What else could the verdict be? Expulsion, just get outta here… Overcome impasses so many times Lost a piece of your soul by every mile Wallowed in the mud, crawled in the dust Immersed in the despair of the outcast

DREAD AND CRUELTY THRIVE Decent ones with high hopes Excellent and glorious thoughts Principles and common sense Vanished by the crisis and decadence Roaring rabble-rousing set the course Fight and struggle unwinnable wars Fear driven cruelty, epitaph on our steles Foolery and ignorance are good fellows Beware! Fear makes you cruel Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive Liberty, equality, fraternity… Are they the words of humanity? Who believes and acts in their names? Gates are closing, who’s to blame? Beasts are snarling, kids are crying Their alms are disdain and scorning Mindless dread and cruelty thrive And empathy then dies… Beware! Fear makes you cruel Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive Solo Our counselor is cynical manipulation Hard-line messiahs with no date of expiration Corpse smelling lies for crawling millions Like funeral wreaths with mourning ribbons So many have yielded to temptation And too many still implore absolution Fear driven cruelty… the only way to Get rid of our self-made ghetto Beware! Fear makes you cruel Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive

Rarity Maker 04:06
RARITY MAKER I’ve always been in the wrong place At the wrong time, ain’t a disgrace Wringing me with no reason Success was out of season If you wanna do, do it this way The only thing that I can say Do what you want but do not think There’s a chance, it’s not a weird thing Refr.: Inutile I don’t mind That’s my kind Rarity maker When it felt I might succeed Looked around; just rode a weed I’ve been dazzled, I never learnt All was in vain and was not my turn Refr. Rarity maker is my kind Few hear my tunes Goddamn right Rarity maker is my kind Praise or hate me It’s alright At the peripheries, I am a subject of lieges Just food for guns, prop for the sieges Time will heal, I’m gonna be forgotten Downtrodden, abused and rotten… Solo I’ve always been in the wrong place At the wrong time, ain’t a disgrace Wringing me with no reason Success was out of season If you wanna do, do it this way The only thing that I can say Do what you want but do not think There’s a chance, it’s not a weird thing Refr.

WALLS GROW AGAIN One step forward, two steps back It’s frightful how deep we can detest The herd is trudging with heads down Feet beat up whiffs and… Walls are growing again now On the bones of a human world Walls are growing again now On the ashes of a future world Walls grow again Grow, grow again Walls grow again Grow, grow again The ferry is approaching the dark coast Fools are bouncing and get rid of a host Of things declared needless and outdated The essence of hatred… Walls are growing again now On the bones of a human world Walls are growing again now On the ashes of a future world Walls grow again Grow, grow again Walls grow again Grow, grow again Solo Walls grow again from infantile lies Cos all the fools forget those times When all were trodden by tramplin’ boots Along the escape routes Walls are growing again now On the bones of a human world Walls are growing again now On the ashes of a future world Controlled by wily fear and confusion In the world of deception and manipulation Dark ages march in the courtyard Get mad and drift beyond Walls are growing again now On the bones of a human world Walls are growing again now On the ashes of a future world Walls grow again Grow, grow again Walls grow again Grow, grow again Grow, grow again

about

"This is an interesting collection, and an impressive introduction (for me) to Zord. Now all I need to do is get to a Hungarian festival so I can see them play live!" (The Moshville Times – United Kingdom)

"Overall, this is another great piece from Zord. “Peripheria” is an improvement from their past work, but it keeps all the things they already got right." (Brutalism Magazine – The Netherlands)

"The songs are well-crafted on this album and yet they have the freshness to get through the jungle of new releases." (Way Up Rock Magazine – Germany)

"However, if you ask if there is a strong Hungarian metal album lately, then the answer is Peripheria. Even after all these years, Zord is strong, identical, just as we always loved them." (Hammerworld Magazine - Hungary)

about

Zord Miskolc, Hungary

The Hungarian thrash band named Zord was formed in October 2000. The name Zord is a Hungarian word that means “austere” or “bleak” in English. Zord’s music tempts to a world of metal with heavy guitar riffs and dark lyrics. The main characters of their songs are determined by dynamic but sometimes twisted rhythms, rough vocals with blazing backing vocals and a bit of bitter feelings. ... more
