First album of Nord in 2018, “The Tree of Life” The tree of life (2018) by Nord is inspired by an ancient Hungarian mythology; Életfa or the Tree of life which is considered to be the center of the world. And like in his last albums, Sztakics István Attila keeps on going and even accentuates his bend towards a fusion of progressive rock and of an EM of the Berlin School style which seduced his new legion of fans since The Hidden Garden of Semiramis.

I explored using music those elements which were not or could not be included in my before...

The album is about the Wonders of Humanity and...
