Yoon Do-hyun “The only Korean lyrics for ‘StormBorn’, contains 30 years of YB‘s path“

The band YB explained the track ‘StormBorn’.

Yoon Do-hyun said at the showcase for the new metal album ‘ODYSSEY’ held at Hongdae Rolling Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 17th, ”It’s the only song with Korean lyrics among the tracks on the album. I felt happy through this song,“ and expressed his satisfaction, saying, ”I think I came up with lyrics that are worth counting, so regardless of whether this song is loved or not, I want to leave it as my greatest achievement.“

Park Tae-hee said, ”When I write a song, I make suggestions about the style I want it to be written in and have a direction, but this time, he wrote the song for me without saying anything. (Yoon Do-hyun) finished the lyrics and showed them to me, and I was shocked. “I thought, ‘Wow, lyrics like this can come out,’” he said with great praise.

The track ‘StormBorn’ was written by Yoon Do-hyun and composed by Park Tae-hee. It expresses an important turning point in which a person who was in pain gains the strength to get back up and move forward through someone‘s love and sacrifice.

Yoon Do-hyun said, “While making a metal album, I really wanted a song like this. I thought it would be nice if the 30 years of YB’s history were captured in this song. It might sound old-fashioned to metal fans, but this is our color, so I hope you‘ll definitely listen to it.”

The new album ’ODYSSEY‘ is a hybrid modern metal album that YB is attempting anew. This work stands out with its intense DJ-based sound and new attempts that expand on the existing colors of YB. It is characterized by the noticeable changes in the members, including vocalist Yoon Do-hyun’s growling and screaming techniques, Heo Jun‘s technical guitar playing, Park Tae-hee’s heavy bass, and Kim Jin-won‘s elaborate double bass drumming.

The album contains a total of 6 tracks, including the pre-released track ‘Rebellion (Feat. Xdinary Heroes)’, which featured JYP band Xdinary Heroes and appeared in the music video for, and the double title track ‘Orchid’. The album will be released at 6 PM on the 26th, and the LP, LP special edition, and KiT version will also be released at the same time.
