Cross the Strait of Hormuz (feat. Gre-chan) [English]

"Cross the Strait of Hormuz" is a cinematic visual kei heavy metal track that tells the story of a tanker trying to survive a deadly passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Set against fire, smoke, and a sea filled with fear, the song builds an intense narrative around a single ship moving forward under extreme pressure. Real geographic elements such as Bandar Abbas, Musandam, Qeshm, Larak, Hormuz, and Hengam give the song a vivid sense of place, while the music turns that setting into a dramatic human story.

The sound blends Japanese visual kei heavy metal with classical structure, symphonic scale, soaring high-tone male vocals, and emotional guitar melodies. It is heavy and theatrical, but also deeply cinematic, carrying both tension and sorrow from beginning to end.

Rather than celebrating war, the song focuses on the people forced to move through it - the crew, the fear, the responsibility, and the will to survive. With lyrics in English, and Persian, the track expands its message beyond one region and becomes a multilingual cry for endurance, dignity, and hope.

Dark, dramatic, and emotionally charged, "Cross the Strait of Hormuz" is a metal story with the scale of a film and the heart of a desperate voyage.
