Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Our inspiration comes from the tension of duality—heritage and rebellion. Bands like Behemoth and Meshuggah shaped our metal roots, but traditional Arabic instruments like the qanun and oud fuel our identity. Esodic is driven by the need to tell a story that bridges cultures through sound.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
It would be a breakthrough moment—giving a global voice to a band that came from the Middle East, overcame immense challenges, and now fuses Arabic tradition with modern metal. This stage would amplify our story and connect our music to people who crave meaning and power in art.
What would you do with $50,000?
We’d invest in a high-quality album, music video production, and international tour support. Esodic is DIY to the bone—this funding would allow us to grow our reach, upgrade our visuals, and deliver a sound that does justice to the vision we’ve fought to bring to life.
