Am schimbat cateva cuvinte cu Mahdi, solistul formatiei. Ce a iesit vedeti mai jos.

1.Hello and thank you for taking a little time to answer a few questions for our readers. Is this the first time you come to Romania?
Yes, this will be our first time in Romania but we’ve already been in touch with some fans and friends on social media.

2.What kind of energy do you expect from the Romanian public?
Actually we heard a lot of good things about the Romanian public, especially from our friends in Epica.

3 Opening for Judas Priest! How did you feel when you find out about this?
It is a dream coming true to open for the Gods of heavy metal, since they were our main source of inspiration in our first demos.

4. What other bands did you share the stage with so far?
Our first experience was with Epica in 2006, after that Anathema, Dark Tranquility, Blind Guardian… we had a lot of collaboration with talented artists as Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth),Max Cavalera, Tim RIPPER Owens, Ron BUMBELFOOT Thal…

5. What other bands would you like to share the stage with?
Oh for sure we would love to share the stage with a lot of other bands as Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, Blind Guardian (again \m/), Jorn Lande, MaYaN…


6. What are your future plans, anything new you are working at? Any plans for a tour?
Yes, we’re working on our next EP that will be released in the end of this year with DarkSide Records, we’re going to open for our friends EPICA next August in Tunisia, and a mini tour in western Europe during the release show of MaYaN’s new album…

7. Getting back to the show with Judas, will you prepare something special?
Of course we had, we plan to play our best rated songs, plus the first release from our next EP and we’ll invite a guest singer from our friends Temperance.

8. What part did Judas Priest played in forming you as artists?
Ho ho… JP is just THE band who got us into the Heavy Metal life, especially our guitarist Tarak who’s a big fan of Mr Glenn TIPTON and we were really saddened when we heard that he can’t join this tour.

9. What other bands influenced your music and artistic direction?
You know we started as a cover band and we were always covering bands as Judas Priest, Pantera, Testament, Megadeath, Iced Earth, Dio, Whitesnake…

10. As always the last words are yours!
Thanks a lot for this nice interview and thanks for your readers… see you next weekend at ROMEXPO, and get ready for the show. We are brigging old school Heavy Metal from the sun.
