Lazywall, a rock band from Morocco, has a unique way of merging Arab music and an alternative rock feel and has just released their single “L3ado Lbared”. The lyrics are in Arab, which also makes a bold statement to bring the song’s subject matter to the forefront: racism. The band figures that addiction is like a virus; it’s a highly intuitive ‘entity’ that kills, alienates, and devours the individual and turns him into a lifeless zombie within a stone-smooth shell.
The first chord marks the beginning of a truly captivating song that detracts the listeners’ attention before the climax and captures them in the plot. Lazywall’s ability to incorporate traditional Arabic instruments and time signatures into a rock framework makes their music both unique and powerful. In “L3ado Lbared”, they use these elements to reflect the internal conflict and despair caused by addiction. The fusion of the oud with a heavy drop-D tuned guitar creates a sound that is raw, intense, and deeply evocative. What stands out about this song is its engaging story. The lyrics highlight the irony of the fact that society promotes socializing to cope with addiction while people get addicted to social networking sites, which is also an addiction. This two-sidedness gives perspective and elevates the track beyond its boundaries of just music; it is about life in contemporary society.
Influences from great bands such as Led Zeppelin and System of a Down can be heard in this band due to the energy and originality of their songs. At the same time, integrating Moroccan musical background and concepts of social injustice and loneliness through these lenses is quite refreshing. Language and culture are not a hindrance to the band, which is proven by this single. In “L3ado Lbared,” Lazywall offers a powerful rock anthem and entices listeners to reevaluate their thoughts about the world and themselves. It is a song that everyone can relate to. If you’re in the mood for some deep rock music and are prepared to have your mind blown, this is the song for you.
