  • Ep. 25 Unmasking Crescent: Delving into Egypt's Blackened Death Metal Enigma with Ismaeel Attallah
    Jul 28 2023

    In today's episode, your favorite irreverent interview duo, Chort and Chernoglav, are heading to the land of pyramids and sphinxes, not for a sun-soaked holiday but to dive headfirst into Egypt's underworld with Ismaeel Attallah from Blackened Death Metal band, Crescent! Buckle up for a wild ride as they explore the catacombs of their latest bone-shaking album, prying loose the secrets behind the band's monstrous riffage and ear-splitting growls. They also take a time-traveling detour back to the mysterious genesis of Crescent, giving you a front-row seat to witness how these sonic sorcerers transformed into gods of the global metal scene. Chort and Chernoglav will also put their hilariously questionable hieroglyphic reading skills to the test, trying to decipher Crescent's cryptic lyrics about the ancient mysteries of their homeland. Grab your air guitar and join us for a riotous journey into the heart of Egyptian metal, punctuated with laughter, unbelievable stories, and of course, some seriously heavy music. This is not your average travelogue - it's Chort and Chernoglav's rocking rendezvous with the illustrious Crescent.
