EVENT REPORT
Sorry for the late report!

As usual, the sound wasn't very good, but it was better than most gigs that took place in the last couple of months, but luckily when we played we managed to deal well with the mixer and the sound became great; thanks for the help from Ramzi Essayed the vocalist of Bilocate, also thanks to Rami Haikal, guitarist of Bilocate for lending us his distortion pedal because we had troubles with one of our pedals.. Horns up guys!

Now lets talk about the bad part of the gig:

As usual, something must happen to fuck things up. As we were the last band performing we were forced to stop playing by the venue managers after only 4 songs saying that the gig time was over. 2 days before the gig I was informed by the gig main manager "Rami Mattar" that we were scheduled to end the show as the last band, so I directly told him to cancel the show for us, because this isn't the first time that we do not complete a show because of playing last, but the manager gave me a word that we will surely continue the play-list no matter what happens! Unfortunately, things are becoming only unfulfilled promises!

"AM FUCKING PISSED AT THE JORDANIAN SCENE!"

If we weren't stopped from playing, this would have been by far the best gig for me personally performance wise compared to all other gigs that I've done with all my bands; our performance was so damn perfect and extreme; the fans went fucking nuts. Also, horns up to all other bands that performed, they all rocked!

Our set-list was as follows:
01 Spirits and Devils
02 Llama's Odyssey
03 Fuel for Hatred (Satyricon cover)
04 Nonexistence (Six Feet Under cover)
05 The Insect War - Wasn't performed
06 Blood and Thorns - Wasn't performed
07 Powder Burns (Bolt Thrower cover) - Wasn't performed

To summarize, I just want to say again that am so damn pissed at the Jordanian scene, because I've been dealing with false promises since a long time and I had enough of that! By saying this, am not pointing fingers at any band, because until this moment, I've only seen real support by bands to each other!
