Here's an interesting story for ya. Nader Sadek is an Egyptian dude and a very innovative visual/conceptual artist working with and for Mayhem and SunO))). By now, he obviously knows how stuff works in the world of extreme metal, so he thought of a project. This is what he came up with.He formed a team consisting of former Morbid Angel's vocalist Steve Tucker, Mayhem's guitarist Rune Eriksen and fucking Cryptopsy drummer Flo Mounier. He himself handled the concepts and direction of the album.What emerged is an excellent death metal release. Solid as fuck, superbly written.

Originally constructed in 1846 as a turntable engine shed for the London and Birmingham Railway, by the mid-20th century it had become an important performing arts and concert hall that would be a favorite venue for such iconic bands and artists as Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones and Motörhead. Suffice it to say, such a location is a prime outlet for one of Germany’s most ferocious purveyors of thrash metal to record their first live album following 2017’s “Live Antichrist” release. Relative to said release, Kreator’s latest foray into neck-ruining mayhem outside of the recording studio dubbed “London Apocalypticon – Live At The Roundhouse” ups the epic factor something fierce while sparing no expense in the aggression department…
