THRESHOLD WEEKEND

Welcome To The Underground Of

The Middle East (Extreme) Metal Scene

Greetings metal heads, I know it has been a while since I gave you, HeadBangers LifeStyle readers, an update about the [extreme] metal scene here in the Middle East. For those who don’t know me yet, I am Jake Shuker, a metal head from Damascus, Syria and lead guitarist & vocalist in the Death metal band Maysaloon.

NOZOMU WAKAI'S DESTINIA

Ready To Take On The World

It is not very often that Japanese metal artists secure international record deals. Guitarist Nozomu Wakai is an exception and he is ready to follow into the footsteps of fellow country men Loudness who is one of the few bands that was and still is reasonably successful in the world. Nozomu Wakai started Destinia a few years ago and has been very productive. With his latest release 'Metal Souls' he is focussing on the international market by hiring some first class musicians. HeadBangers LifeStyle contacted the colourful musician and asked him about his plans and goals.
