Zornik - Blinded By The Diamonds (2015)

Zornik are a rock band from Belgium who debuted to chart-topping success in Flanders in 2002. Founded in 1999 in Zonhoven, Belgium, by Koen Buyse (vocals, guitar), Kristof Vanduren (bass), and Marijn Horemans (drums), the band made its commercial debut in 2001 with the single "Love Affair." A year later their full-length album debut, The Place Where You Will Find Us, topped the Flemish albums chart. Second album One-Armed Bandit (2004) was also a chart-topper, while subsequent albums Alien Sweetheart (2005) and Crosses (2007) reached number three. The latter two albums include the respective hit singles "I Feel Alright" and "Black Hope Shot Down." A best-of collection, 4.000.000 Minutes of Zornik (2008), was the band's next full-length release. It was also a big hit, reaching the Top Ten and spawning the new hit single "4 Million Minutes." ~ Jason Birchmeier
