It is a pleasure and honor to perform in UAE's "Dubai Desert Rock Festival" and in Germany's "With Full Force Festival", it served as a great inspiration to us personally to continue the work and keep writing more music. We are damn proud to have been so well received by the magical community of these iconic festivals. These were truly some magical moments - actually hours! - and we're not just talking about the crowd who did a tremendous job! You were such a great audience and we were so pleased with how you responded to our music. It was a very rewarding experience to see the crowds going crazy at both festivals and know that all the time and effort that went into making the music was well worth the effort.
"We are very excited that we played among such great bands that have influenced us for years and definitely the German and UAE metal fans felt our music and agreed to it. We have a message of globalizing metal and having a unity regardless of what culture you're from. WFF and CSM granted us the chance to showcase our music is a dream that came true. This marked history in the metal world for us coming from Egypt." - Marzeban, guitarist of Scarab.
We would first like to thank Lara for giving us the chance to an unforgettable experience, Fab Sioul & Mathilde for helping us out, our friends in arms Nervecell who joined us in both festivals and made us feel at home. Finally, CSM & WFF and their crews... Thanks for maintaining an amazing place where people from all walks of life can go for an unforgettable time. Thanks to the people who have devoted themselves to watching our show and the other bands performances, Looking forward to seeing you in a near performance! A true pleasure!
At "Scarab's Valley" (our headquarter!) we have been working non-stop in the past couple of months on getting our album "Blinding The Masses" recorded, mixed, mastered, printed then packaged and YES!! It's READY to be RELEASED!!! We are looking right now at distributing options including online album ordering which will be made available soon! Also, check out the new added track "Ankh" on our MySpace player.
In another part of the Valley (it's a huge headquarter!) the band members are working on the upcoming album, which will follow "Blinding The Masses" - the album title will be announced soon - and we are done with three new - heart pounding - tracks and we are fully satisfied with the results (we debuted 2 of them at DDRF and WFF). A hint... it's much more powerful, technical and progressive than "Blinding The Masses".
Last, head over to Spinearth's "Scarab Breaks Out of Cairo's Metal Music Mold" to read an interview with Scarab (conducted before Germany's WFF) about the new album "Blinding The Masses". You can also watch a video shot by a fan at WFF Festival, the track is the title track of "Blinding the Masses".
Stay sick...
