Still there is one exception- and that is Khalas..." - Terrorizer
"Metal has always been a force of defiance, dissent and perseverance, allowing it to thrive across the world in some of the most unlikely places, and no where is most unlikely then the Middle East... Iran, Saudi Arbica, Qatar, Bahrain and the flash-point of the Palestine/Israeli conflict..." - Dayal Patterson
