True....actually I was just thinking 'extreme' metal in general....plus bands from this part of the country.

What color would Egyptian metal be?

Sonic Death Monkey, but they changed their name to Kathleen Turner Overdrive.

Sonic Fuckin' Death Monkey!

What color would Egyptian metal be?

if you go by most of their album covers, they would be somewhere between Yellow Metal and Orange Metal.

I like a lot of the bands mentioned in this thread. So, here is a shameless plug for MY band:

We are a traditional/thrash metal band from Chicago with some power metal and death metal elements... We have a CD ("Harmony of Lies") available on our website in the MERCHANDISE section. Also, there are samples of all the songs in the AUDIO/VIDEO section.

Operatika

I think they were on the last PP sampler, because that was one of the bands i'd never heard of, and when their song came on I had to grab the cd case to find out who I was listening to.

I was thinking they were made up of member(s) from another band?? Maybe i'm wrong...it's late (7:00pm) on a friday and I'm wiped....
