The Kuwait-based Lebanese musician Bader Nana started playing music when he was 18 years old. With experience in playing various instruments in some local bands, he’s started on his feet with being influenced by lots of progressive metal or neo-progressive rock projects, and released his full-length debut album Wormwood in collaboration with his family and music friends upon his Bandcamp in September 2011. Now he is back with version 2.0 of the debut Wormwood.

Wormwood II is a very good album that are brimming with ultra-melodic music.  And the song Star Born for instance really proves that he has serious compositional skills.
