IN: Indeed it was a cool video. I especially liked Nervecell and Betzefer. They're really feeling it too. Metal soldiers for life.

If Egypt, Iran, etc keep driving their bands away, The United Arab Emerates could become the middle-eastern capital for metal. Tarantist and Oath to Vanquish show a lot of promise.

Some of the bands mentioned on here were really good. It's great to see the middle eastern scene get the attention it deserves. A bit criminal that they didn't mention Salem seen as they were one of the first bands outside Norway to play old school BM, waaay back in 1985. Still a good programme nontheless.
