CRYPTOPSY, Ex-MORBID ANGEL, KRALLICE Members To Jam With Egyptian Artist In NY Museum

February 20, 2009

Egyptian artist Nader Sadek's new performance piece, B'doun Wag'h (a follow-up to the exhibition "Faceless" in 2007),provocatively incorporates Middle Eastern design, death metal music, and Darfur activism. Death and black metal musicians Steve Tucker (formerly of MORBID ANGEL),Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY),Nick McMaster (KRALLICE),and Mike Lerner (BEHOLD… THE ARCTOPUS) will play a specially commissioned set written by Tucker on a stage featuring Middle Eastern elements that ambiguously resonate with the occult iconography of this underground music scene. Woodwork screens and geometric patterns that frame blistering guitars and frenetic drumming blur configurations of private and public, holy and profane, ritual restraint and impulsive aggression. In a further twist of cultural signifiers and conventions, proceeds from the events admission fee of $5, including sales from the merchandise table, will go to victims of the Darfur crisis.

A rough mix of one song, "Faithless", will be available for streaming soon.

The recording includes:

Steve Tucker (ex-MORBID ANGEL) - vocals, guitar, bass)
Trym (EMPEROR, ZYKLON) - drums
Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT) – lead guitar
Ralph Santolla (DEICIDE, OBITUARY) - leads

The performance will take place during an all-day event dubbed "It's All yours Now" on Sunday, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. sharp at:

SculptureCenter
44-19 Purves st.
Long Island City
New York, 11101
