Efreet is the melodic power metal band of the South Korea, founded in April 2005 by Jeongho Han and Hwan Hwangbo from the same university. The band name “Efreet” means the god of fire from the Middle East mythology. Gyo-Hyeong Lee (guitar), Gi-Cheol Jeong (bass), and Gwang-Weon Oh (drum) joined the band in 2006, and the band started to have active performances at the ZOO, WASP, Sky high, and Sapiens 7 live clubs, located near Hongik University in Seoul. In February 2008, the band released the first regular album “God of fire”. Gyo-Hyeong Lee, Gi-Cheol Jeong, and Kwang-Weon Oh left the band soon after due to military services and with the graduation of Jeongho Han and Hwan Hwangbo the band went through a period of rest. After two years, a digital single album “Vendetta” was released in August 2010.

Recently, Efreet focused on the reorganization of band and the second regular album, prior to this, the band released the second digital single album “Poetry of Vengeance”. “Poetry of Vengeance” is composed of two songs; one is the “Dear liar” and the other is the “Vendetta” (re-recorded and remastered version). “Dear liar” is a traditional power metal music with straight composition reinterpreted from modern metal sound, representing vengeance to the villains who make a habit of cheating, deception, and hypocrisy. “Vendetta” produces the fundamental rules of melodic metal, such as the brilliant melody and speedy dynamic guitar riff, and also possesses the simple and sophisticated composition. It also represents rage to the improper reality caused from villains through the conversation of an abandoned soul and nemesis. The previous version of “Vendetta” has raked over 25,000 views on YouTube in a short amount of time, and is being well received by metal music listeners.
