TYRANT THRONE - by
Pulp Magazine (Jordan)
Interview by:
Charles Carver, June 29th, 2007
This is an interview that was made for an
article about the Jordanian Metal scene in the local mag - Pulp
Magazine. The article combines too interviews together; one with
Fares (CruelDestiny) from JorZine.com and the other with all members
of Tyrant Throne (Phexataan, Zaher Siryani and Hanna Marzouqa), and
Hani Al-Abbadi and Rami Haikal from Bilocate. Pulp Magazine's
interviewer Charles Carver came to Tyrant Throne's jamming place
where he interviewed the bands and enjoyed a cool jamming for mixed
members of Tyrant Throne and Bilocate.
Bellow are some quotes and 2 scanned images from the article and
interviews. To read the full thing get your copy of the 3rd issue
(July 2007) of Pulp Magazine for only 1.5JD.
Charles Carver (Pulp Magazine):
"Jordanian Metal is moving out of its infancy, and is dealing
with many of the same issues with which its predecessors dealt; but
with dozens of bands and great resources like the internet, this is
the perfect time for some serious head banging"
Fares (JorZine):
"It is true that some metal
bands, European and American mostly, espouse, and are even proud, to
be Satanists; but before you start worrying, none of Jordanian metal
bands subscribe to this ethos.
Fares, an administrator of
JorZine.com,
the quintessential website for all things Jordanian metal (a site I
highly recommend) said, 'nothing justifies calling us Satanists…
people don’t like what is different in general', and what could be
more different in Jordan that seeing a group of kids growing long
hair, wearing black t-shirts emblazoned with skulls, walking down
the street? If I was not such an
avid fan of the culture even I would look twice? This fear of the
strange and unusual is only exacerbated by the roll of, as
Fares
says, weekly trash newspapers"
Phexataan
(Tyrant
Throne):
"Kids who get into our music sometimes
have the wrong impression.. they wear anti-Christ t-shirts and
things like that which destroy our image"
Hani
Al-Abbadi (Bilocate):
"We're promoting Jordan in very direct way, said Hani of
Bilocate, as our popularity spreads, people begin to wonder about
this exotic, musically fruitful place called Jordan"
