Ever since December of last year we've been working on a new digital compilation focusing on the middle eastern metal scene's rapidly blasting talents. The release is the result of over 5 months of hunting for the region's best and most promising acts.

'METALITY - The Compilation: Volume 2 - Sounds of The Middle East' features over 50 bands from across the region. Capsulating the scene's wide variety of heavy metal sub genres into one go-to-compilation, featuring some of our favorite bands and bringing many to our territory for the first of many times to come.

"Sounds of The Middle East" has been put together along with the graceful help of our promotional sponsors: Metal-Waves.com, Moroccan Metal Community, NoCleanSinging.com, LebMetal.com, Streaming Chaos and our sister site Metality UAE, which we are more than honored to have them on board for the project.

Cover art, flyer, and promo video were all made by our good friends over at New Breed Studio.
If you want some killer artwork done for your band, fast and efficient, then you need to hit up these guys for some fine Italian work.

The compilation is 100% free. We're not asking for much in return. We do this for the love of metal, and because we believe in the region's rapidly progressing talent. All we ask for is that you support the bands, tell your friends about your favorites, visit their links. If they're in your city for a show, head down there with a bunch of friends. Buy a t-shirt or CD. Post about them on your Facebook or other social sites. You can easily share this post by hovering your mouse over the little blue button on the bottom left corner to share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Stay up to date with everything metal by liking our Facebook fan page, and if you're in a band make sure to post your links.

We hope you enjoy the release and have a healthy headbanging session to over 4 HOURS of face melting middle eastern metal!

CiLiCe are the progressive metal mammoth from the Netherlands who were recently featured on our digital compilation album. The band truly bring on the Djent! and with their 2009 release "Derranged Headtrip" the guys caught the media's ears and left it ringing in mind numbing brutality.

We got the chance to interview the band's awesome guitarist and song writer Theo Holsheimer, to discuss CiLiCe's sound, how the guys got together, the band's future material, slaughterhouses and Italian women, among many other topics. Theo, also talks about their current frontman situation, and how they have a new guy, and that they are happy to work with him, but did not let the cat out of the bag yet on who it is.

Here's how it went:

Spiritcrusher: Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to take this interview. Since CiLiCe is still a pretty new band, why don't you tell us a little bit more about how you guys met and what the circumstances were like at the time.

Theo: It all started about 4 years ago. Me and Remko, the other guitar player in CILICE, were band members from the dutch gothic metal band Orphanage. We had written a lot of cool music which didn't fit in Orphanage, so when the band split up it was time to move on and start something new.

In Daniel de Jongh we found our lead singer, who was active in the club scene with Smogus, a crossover band. Our drummer Philipp Moser came all the way from Germany to study drums at the Conservatorium Amsterdam. After he graduated at the jazz department it was time for him to rock, to show his brutal side hehe...



Spiritcrusher: CiLiCe generalizes itself as "mad math metal" music. Your music is certainly very creative. What are your influences? Do you all listen to similar bands, or incorporate all your different tastes into the band?

Theo: “It’s pretty hard to describe our music so we described it as “mad math metal”... but I hope a lot of people will find out about us in the future and the name CILICE will stand for itself.” We are pretty open minded and listen to all kinds of music. Miles Davis, Ennio Morricone, Strapping Young Lad and the list goes on and on, it's all awesome.

But you can say our main influence is Meshuggah. We like the rhythmic concept they use but we ain't about copying riffs and song structures. The whole process of writing songs comes very natural to us. It all starts as any other song which is written in the world. It begins with a riff or a good beat and then you start building.



Spiritcrusher: "Deranged Headtrip" was released in 2009 and is considerably successful among critics. What are your plans next? Are you currently working on a second album?

Theo: Yeah, the critics on our album Deranged Headtrip were overwhelming. We didn't have any expectations at all and we are very happy with the fact that people love the album. Our main focus right now is working on the new album, so we are in a writing procces. The new album will sound huge, but different for sure.

Since Daniel left the band for Textures we're gonna work with another vocalist. I can't say that much about it yet, but we are very happy with the new guy we're gonna work with.



Spiritcrusher: "Mental Breakdown" is one of 28 songs on the Metality Compilation album! Have you downloaded and checked out some of the other bands? If so, have you enjoyed any of the other underground bands in particular?

Theo: Sure, it's a good thing the "Metality Compilation" and other compilation initiatives do exist. It's good to discover bands you wouldn't have known otherwise.



Spiritcrusher: How has the metal scene evolved in Holland? We know it has always been active with various metal festivals, such as Pinkpop Festival. Is it a very competitive scene for underground bands there?

Theo: We've got a lot of cool metal/metalcore bands in Holland. There are a lot of venues and festivals, but unfortantly the money is very bad, because the metal/metalcore scene is still considered as underground. It's a competitive scene like everywhere I think, everybody is looking for gigs. Bookers have a lot of choise what bands they would like to play in their venue.



Spiritcrusher: You guys have pretty much toured where most bands of the same experience dream of touring! Which country has been your favorite so far and why?

Theo: That's right, our tour schedules were pretty intense over the past three years. In all countries we toured, about 26 now and still counting, we had great experiences and met wonderful people. Brazil was a fantastic experience. It has a great underground scene, although it's pretty old school and we are not.

But one of my favorite countries to tour is Italy, because of the delicious food, you can't beat their cappuccino's and of course ... the women hehe...



Spiritcrusher: Which band is your dream band to tour with?

Theo: Hard to say, there are so many great bands on this planet. Touring with Pantera would be awesome, but for that we've to get back in time at least 10 years. Touring with Nine inch Nails would be awesome or Meshuggah, they are true pioneers, respect!



Spiritcrusher: Any funny stories while touring you would like to share with us?

Theo: We did this memorable gig at 'The Bringer Death Festival' in Germany. On our way to the gig, we came all the way from Poland, we got a flat tire, so we arrived late. When we finally arrived at the festival we found it surprising that all bands and the organizers were waiting for us.

The organizers didn’t arrange any backline at all and they were relying on us, without? Really strange ‘cause it was quite a big festival in a sports hall with a thousand of people. Even more surprisingly when the program started we found out this festival was all about grindcore! So we were the only band without pig noises and constant blastbeats.

Playing for a grindcore audience that only wants to hear noises from the slaughterhouse, is quite an experience, haha. Speaking of slaughterhouses, after a gig in Belgrado we stayed in a former slaughterhouse, how metal is that hehe...


Spiritcrusher: As a young and rising band, I thought I'd give you a subjective question: what does music mean to you?

Theo: I can't think of a life without music.



Spiritcrusher: Do you have any other passions in life apart from music?

Theo: Hanging out with friends, traveling.



Spiritcrusher: Any advice to give to young bands and musicians who are trying to make it into the rock and metal music business?

Theo: If you are in a band, respect each other and set goals. Be patience and don’t be passive. Sitting on your ass waiting for people who come up to you is a waste of time, because they simply won’t. Get on the road as soon as possible, record an album, let people know about your band. If you are not in a band and have a strong vision what kind of music you wanna play, write songs and look out for people who have the same vision.



Spiritcrusher: Any final words to Metality readers?

Theo: We love to see ya all out there at our concerts, bang your head, go nutz and party with us, hell yeah!’

Kuwait Based progressive death metal band Benevolent have posted the following update concerning the band's upcoming EP, which they are currently putting the final touches on at Kuwait's favorite metal studio Sarj's Studio with Nocturna's Sajid "Sarj" Masood.

[Press Release]

Restricted Release, in cooperation with Angle Side Side, today confirms October 12 as the North American release date for Awaken, the full-length debut from Rhode Island-based THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL. Awaken is the first metal album from vocalist Jesse David Leach since his departure from Killswitch Engage.

Recorded in 2009, Awaken was originally available for physical purchase via direct band merchandise outlets. Through the new cooperation, the album will now be accessible via proper retail outlets throughout North America. “We all couldn't be more than happy that this record has gained enough attention to make it to this level of exposure,” comments Leach. “We are proud that our DIY band and our self produced/released record has the potential to reach so many more listeners. Our hope is that a great deal of people will be able to see the passion and message we carry with our music. Fight the good fight!”

Produced by guitarist Marcus De Lisle and mixed by Sean Small, Awaken has already received significant media attention. Hails & Horns Magazine calls it "a powerhouse of a record, crackling with intensity." Popular online site The PRP gave the record a 4 out of 5 rating, noting it as "a vast arsenal of aural weaponry." Terrorizer Magazine applauded the album, embracing Leach’s “jagged, broken-glass shrieks” and called it “more than a welcomed return.” The album has also generated substantial support from college and commercial specialty radio programs across the country. As part of an early radio campaign, Awaken peaked on FMQB/Friday Morning Quarterback’s metal chart at position 7 and impressed CMJ/College Music Journal stations peaking at position 20 on the tip magazine’s weekly metal chart.

Formed in 2008, THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL's eclectic sound is rooted in metal/hardcore; the band citing luminaries At The Gates, Meshuggah, and Edge of Sanity as major inspiration. The band, featuring guitarists Jake Davenport and De Lisle, bassist Nick Sollecito, drummer Jeff Pitts, and Leach, also draw heavily from their combined interests in jazz, punk, and experimental music. The band’s lyrics are fueled by political outrage; a passion that forms the backbone of the band and sets them apart from their peers.

THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL are expected to announce a series of new live shows to support the retail release of Awaken. In the meantime the band has already started writing material for their second album which they plan to release in early 2011. Sollecito notes, “our new material is definitely a step up from our previous stuff. We are really excited about it and can't wait till we hit the studio to get it all together."

Awaken’s running track listing is: 1. Awaken, 2. Lords of War, 3. Voices Forming Weapons, 4. Choir of Angels, 5. We The People, 6. These Colors Bleed, 7. Our Own, 8. The Kingdom.

[Ed Note: Make sure to check out our digital compilation album "METALITY - The Compilation: Celebrating a 1000 Posts," available now! Where The Empire Shall Fall's "Lords of War" is featured among 24 other face melting songs for bands from around the world. Click Here to listen.]

Kuwait based epic metallers VOICE OF THE SOUL have recruited A Shot of Adrenaline's keyboardist Rana Rassouli as the band's new slamming drummer!

A personal side note:

I really hope you guys enjoy the album and the diverse line up of bands it has to offer. All the bands on the release deserve your full support.

This project has taken about 4 month to finish, initially it was planned out as a 2 month project, but there was a good amount of surprises that kept pushing the release date, which also meant that work on the blog had to be slowed down to make ends meet, but ultimately I'm really proud of the outcome and the support it has received during the making, and really hope everyone will keep supporting the album after they listen in.

It's a free giveaway, all we want in return is for you guys to support these talented bands, visit their sites, check out more of their music, and if you think they kick ass, buy yourself a CD or a t-shirt, tell you're friends about them, post their links to you're Facebook, Twitter, Myspace or other social networking accounts, and make sure to visit Metality because that's where you'll find all their latest updates along with our coverage of all that is Metal from around the world.
