Report: Iron Maiden – Malmo, Sweden

When Iron Maiden go on tour in 2013, it's not so much a TOUR as it is a triumphal procession. They are hailed like heroes everywhere they go, and Sweden is no exception. South America and Scandinavia in particular have always had a special love-affair with Iron Maiden, and this chilly evening in Malmö, Sweden, is no exception to the rule.

Interview: Nader Sadek / Rune “Blapshemer” Eriksen

Nader Sadek: The all-star Death metal band that made a great debut album "In The Flesh" 2 years ago and released the DVD "Living Flesh" some time ago. Metalpaths had the chance to talk with Nader Sadek himself (lyricist) and Rune Eriksen (a.k.a. Blasphemer, ex-Mayhem guitarist) about this release and the band in general...by John Savvidis Hello Nader! You are well known for being the live show partner of Mayhem over the past years. So tell us more on how you alongside with Rune "Blapshemer" Eriksen, Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy), Steve Tucker (ex-Morbid Angel) and Novy (ex-Vader) met and decided to form a band under your name: Nader Sadek That's the problem and the biggest misconception of this porject, this wasnever a band. Unfortunatley it had to be marketed as such. However, there is no band by the name Nader Sadek. Nader Sadek is just me, the project starter, if you will, among many other things of course, the whole project was my vision. I had picked each musician for a very specific reason. At first all the musicians were skeptical as they were at the time not fans of each others bands.

Accuser
Diabolic

An underground band will be the concept of today's review: Accuser from Germany. Massive fans of German Thrash metal will remember them for "The Conviction" (1987) and "Who Dominates Who" (1989) records that were well received by the fans but as a band never gained the popularity of Thrash partners in crime such as Kreator, Sodom or Destruction.
