Breed of Burden

Breed of burden started on in 2010 as a solo metal project by Aladdin Benmira who wanted to bring his ideas to life and experiment his own metal genre.
“Tantrum” is the first demo realized by Aladdin in 2007, when he was living in France. Back then, his IT job forced him to slow down his music ambitions for a while and Tantrum had to wait till 2010, when Aladdin moved to London hoping to start playing again. Some melodic metal riffs from the demo were given life again to create his first album “The World is Sick”.
