ANY METALHEADS IN EGYPT????!?!?!?

Didn't the Egyptian government shut down or crack down on a bunch of metal bands a few years back? I believe it was in response to the complaints of some of the clerics over metal being un-Islamic- even though Egypt is supposed to be a secular state.

Check out the Nervecell forum: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/nervecell-435

Those guys play in Egypt sometimes, and seem to be pretty good from what I've heard.

Thanks for your words, much appreciated!

Indeed we played Egypt at Egypt Metal Festival in March and it was a blast! Thanks to all of those who came down and support Nervecell and the other bands!

Here's the pictures from our set + misc, enjoy!

There's a guy from Egypt that posts here sometimes, as well as on the Battleheart forum, called Bassem.
