JorZine Update !
There has been a ton of stuff going on over on the JorZine camp, with alot of new interviews and reviews, so without further to do, here's the latest updates from JorZine.com:
Interview with Omani Black Metal Band ARABIA
JZ: But why Black Metal, why did you chose it to express your thoughts and not any other genre of music?
Arabia: Because we grew up listening to it, it’s what we love and what we listen to, just because we disagree with a lot of black metal bands because we’re Muslims, doesn’t mean that we can’t use the music to spread our own thoughts, and because it fits in well, not like dance music or hip hop for example.

Interview with Ashmedi Frontman of MELECHESH
JZ: The band was formed back in 1993 in Jerusalem and 7 years later immigrated to the Netherlands. What could you tell us about the move? And do you consider yourselves to be a Middle Eastern or a Dutch band? And just to clear things up, where are you all originally from? Because as you may already know thereÕs a lot of rumors and controversy about this issue
Ashmedi: The band started in Jerusalem in 93 and also operated from Bethlehem as my other guitarist is from there. We got known here and became the first black metal band ever from Jerusalem, first metal band from Bethlehem and eventually first signed band from Jerusalem, a lot of firsts, eventually we became the first signed non Israeli band from the Middle East ever.
Why the move!! well for many reasons, I personally love Jerusalem but was not comfortable with what was happening there, I wanted to leave, I was heading to the states till my bass player at the time who had a business in Holland convinced me to move there, I thought why not its only a 4 hour flight anyways from my home town.

Interview with Egyptian One Man Project KONZAROSS
JZ: Explain Konzaross to us, what is it? The lyrics? The style?
Khaled: Konzaross is a one man project consisting of only bass and vocals, I would say it’s psychedelic, melodic, and dark, as far as I know this is a genre created by me and I don’t know of anyone else who plays this genre of music, the lyrics and music are about the mysteries of life, it’s a state of mind music and not music you can listen to anytime. And unlike a lot of projects who are playing styles that sound like each other, Konzaross is different and rare. Konzaross is a dark mysterious history Castle in the Dark Age.

Interview with Iranian Progressive / Thrash metal Band AHOORA
JZ: Interesting Lineup, living in the Middle East myself, I’ve heard hundreds of stories about bands not being able to play and facing all sorts of tribulations, what’s your story? What can you tell us about the metal and music scene in Iran?
Ahoora: I guess you know about it all. We’ve had two illegal albums, few devastated gigs and a performed one. And we’ve failed to gain permission to work. There is no scene here in Iran and I guess that’s it for every Middle Eastern band, a little better or worse; also a lot depends on the quality of the musicians too.

Interview With Egyptian Industrial Death Metal Band WORM
JZ: How about you share with us a brief bio of the band and the genre you’d say you play?
Worm: We're a death metal band at heart but happen to add various influences, mainly from the industrial sector. So the label "Industrial Death Metal" seems in place.
Our style isn't really comparable to any specific bands. A few moments on our first demo reminded listeners a bit of –old- Hypocrisy (Penetralia and Osculum Obscenum) although we weren't listening to those records at the time or never really considered them an influence in Worm, it just happened. The newer material is much darker than what we did on The Armageddon Codex and definitely colder and I dare say with more variation, as we're not afraid to experiment anymore.

Interview with Egyptian Screamo/Hardcore Metal Band YOUR PRINCE HARMING
JZ: Many would argue that your music is purely noise, or a waste of time, what would you say to that, and how did you start getting into this kind of music in the first place?
YPH: Music is never a waste of time, if you can relate to it, and if it can help you in your life then it certainly doesn’t waste your time and it certainly isn’t noise, just because its loud/different to what other people listen to doesn’t mean its just noise, I think that is very ignorant of people to think that, you can find beauty in any type of music. We got interested in this music because its what we can express ourselves the best through. It’s also what naturally comes into our minds when we try to compose something.
