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.

LAURIE MANSWORTH (AIRRACE)

Musician And Manager

In the early eighties he was the guitarist of MORE, a British rock band that was part of the NWOBHM movement and released a classic debut ‘Warhead’ in 1981, shared the stage with the likes of Iron Maiden, Saxon and many more. He left the band to form the more melodic/AOR band Airrace in 1982 with whom he toured with Queen after the debut album ‘Shaft Of Light’. He manages The Treatment, the high energy rock ‘n’ roll band which also features his son Dhani on drums. As if this wasn’t enough he found the time to reform Airrace and make a new album with them that made quite an impression; ‘Untold Stories’. More than enough reasons to contact the musical mastermind, producer, song writer and successful manager Laurie Mansworth who is over the moon with the response to the Airrace record.
