Keeping the flame of metal alive in Jordania, thats what Bilocate is doing right now. The band was formed back in 2003 and since then have witnessed the somewhat modest rise of Jordanian metal scene. While there is dozens of bands around in one form or another, there is only four or five bands that can actually play live and have actual studio recordings available.
Bilocate was started by brothers Ramzi and Waseem and soon the line up was ready with addition of friends Hani Al Abadi and Baha' Farah. Year later Rami Haikal finalized the line up that would record the bands first album, Dysphoria.
The next big change came in 2006, when Ahmad Kloub joined the band as permanent drummer, leaving Waseem to concentrate on keyboards instead of drums. The band also started to create their second monumental opus Sudden Death Syndrome. While considered Jordanian album, the album actually involves numerous outsiders in form of Jens Bogren (Swedish producer), Nash Planojevic (English sound engineer), Dennis Sibeijn (Dutch artists responsible for the album artwork) among others.
Sudden Death Syndrome was released in May 2008 on Jordanian label, Daxar Multimedia with distribution only in Jordania, Gulf Coast region and Egypt. The album gained huge and very supporting response from the worldwide metal media, with over hundred reviews thus far and numerous interviews all around the world.
Bilocate has played more outside of Jordania than inside, as local authorities (both secular and religious ones) have put their long arm of the law on their path more than once. The band has played in Egypt, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and in Lithuania (Devilstone Open Air 2009). The band has managed to overcome a few obstacles on their road and in July their first European tour is in full swing.
The band has scored few local Jordanian endorsement deals but also ones with Radial Engineering, ISP Technologies and Mayones custom guitars, more deals to be revealed after their July tour. After the tour their current label Kolony Records will reissue their Sudden Death Syndrome for the European markets (in September 2010) and the band will start to record their third album, to be released in mid 2011.
BILOCATE will be performing live in Europe this summer:
Jul 5 2010 - Slovenia, Tolmin (Metalcamp Fest)
Jul 7 2010 - Hungary, Pecs (Rockmaraton Fest)
Jul 23 2010 - Austria,Obervellach (Hell Over Vellach Fest)
