NADER SADEK JOINS SEASON OF MIST
World renowned artist/ musician NADER SADEK has joined SEASON OF MIST roster.
FROM SEASON OF MIST:
Season of Mist is proud
to welcome innovative Egyptian-born artist Nader Sadek to the roster!
Known as the designer responsible for the stage imagery on MAYHEM’s 2009
US tour, Nader decided to delve deeper into the Metal
world by forming his own project. He thus teamed up with guitarist Rune
Eriksen (AVA INFERI, AURA NOIR, ex MAYHEM), bassist Steve Tucker (ex
MORBID ANGEL) and drummer Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY) to create a Death
Metal project under his own name.
NADER SADEK’s debut is
entitled “In the Flesh” and features compositions and performances by
all four artists and has been set to a May 16th (one day later in the
US) release.
Says
Sadek: “My general association with Death Metal, deals with the notion
of false perceptions, and how great individuality can be smothered by
the weight of an overwhelming environment. This idea is ever-present
throughout all my work. Each of the players in this album played key
roles in their respective bands, facing difficult challenges, and yet
taking their bands to higher levels. Their talent as well as their
tenacity has always intrigued me. As such, they fit perfectly in this
project.”
“I’ve been looking forward to doing this
recording for months”, Steve Tucker comments. “Nader does some very
interesting art and I enjoy helping him achieve his twisted vision. It’s
rare to get to play alongside a drummer with the abilities that Flo
possesses. It’s a bonus that I get the opportunity to jam with
professionals such as Rune and Flo. It’ll be brutal.”
Flo
Mounier adds: “It’s amazing that artists with different backgrounds can
come together to create something so extreme and so dark but yet have so
much fun doing so! It has been a pleasure working with Nader and Steve
in the past and I’m looking forward to experimenting with Rune’s unique
style, I can’t wait to start laying down the extreme with my boys.”
Rune
Eriksen: “When first being approached by Nader to collaborate with him,
Steve and Flo, I was immediately caught up by the idea of it. Not only
is Nader’s concept and reasons for doing this of an inspirational
character in itself, but also the very thought of collaborating with
musicians such as Steve and Flo seemed like an opportunity not to miss.”
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
