The Idoru is a post-hardcore band from Budapest, Hungary. It was formed in 2003 by ex-members of the Hungarian hard-core and metalcore band Newborn. The original line-up consisted of Tibor Szalkai (guitars), Gábor Nagy (guitars), Mátyás Mohácsi (bass), Denis Valach (drums) and András Bödecs (vocals). However, three of the original members (Bödecs, Szabó and Mohácsi) left the band in 2009.
The Idoru gained popularity with the success of their song "Monochrome" from the third studio album Monologue. The band has performed numerous events worldwide and was twice the winner of the national Hungarian Music Awards (Fonogram) for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Album of the Year" in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
