Lody Kong is an American sludge metal / hardcore punk band from Phoenix (Arizona) . She was best known because with Igor and Zyon Cavalera, two sons of Max Cavalera (ex- Sepultura ; Soulfly ) are significantly involved in the band.
history
Lody Kong was founded by brothers Igor and Zyon Cavalera in 2011, shortly after their first band, Mold Breaker , broke up. John Bauer (guitar) and Shea Fahey (bass) joined the line-up. The name is based on a friend of theirs named Kody Long. After a few demo songs in 2012, her father Max Cavalera took her on the Soulfly tour Maximum Cavalera. In 2013 the first EP No Rules was released via Minus Head Records . The band released a video for the song Monkeys Always Look . The EP was produced by former Soulfly drummer Roy Mayorga (today: Stone Sour ).
In 2016, Bauer and Fahey were joined by Travis Stone (guitar) and Noah Shepherd (bass). On March 25, 2016, the debut album Dreams and Visions was released via the record company Mascot Label Group . A lyric video for Chillin ', Killin' was released beforehand .
style
The band, which plays a mixture of hardcore punk , grunge and thrash metal , was musically influenced by bands as diverse as Deftones , Bad Brains , Metallica and Nirvana . Lyrically, the sarcastic and wildly performed songs deal with social criticism and everyday problems.
