Bonzai is a rock band based in Thessaloniki, Greece, which was created as an idea in 2015, but really took off with their first live performance in 2018. Their first album, titled »Seeds To Roots«, was released in 2019. In May 2022, they release the single »Hit The Sky«, and the following month they release »Cyberdog«. Two tracks that are included in their new album »Nightmare Always Ends The Dawn«.
The band comments: “The time has come. Our second album »Nightmare Always Ends The Dawn« will be out, almost 2018 days after our first one, »Seeds To Roots«. To be honest, during the challenging times of covid-19 crisis and even after that, thoughts of quitting crossed our minds. It is still unclear if this situation was a reality or just a dream like state. It might have been a nightmare which seemed to destroy everything in its path, »Nightmare Always Ends« even the dawn.
»The Dawn« that would never come or, if it did, it would be superficial, led by others and essentially fake and violent.
But now, we experience feelings of great joy and even greater relief, similar to the ones the »Cyberdog« had once reaching home after realizing that being yourself is worth it.
At home everyone and everything is protected, even the plants are no more threatened by the bloodthirsty »Meligra«, who want to steal all their strength and power to prevent them from reaching the ceiling and then the sky.
A sky that looks like a huge dome to them which the plants want to reach and »Hit The Sky« like fireworks. Talking to all living creatures »For Those Who Cannot Speak«, we assure you that we will try together and we will fight forever, until the »Red Leaf Chaos« arrives…»Until The End«.”
