Video highlights of MORTAD‘s performance at this year’s Hammerfest, which was held March 15-18, 2012 in Prestatyn, North Wales, can be seen below:
As previously posted, MORTAD will enter the studio in November with producer Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR, EVILE) to begin recording its sophomore album for a 2013 release.
MORTAD‘s debut CD, “The Myth Of Purity”, was made available last month with the February 2012 issue of Metal Hammer magazine and will receive a more “official” release later in the year. The album was recorded last October with Russ Russell.
MORTAD was formed in 2009 by Iranian vocalist Somi Arian , whose lyrics take aim at the hypocrisy of religion and the government as well as seeking inner truth and strength in the face of such oppression.
MORTAD released a music video and an EP, entitled “Pandemic Paranoia”, in early 2011. This effort brought the band immense attention on the social media sites, placing the group as the No. 1 metal band on ReverbNation London metal chart, and attracting over 40,000 Facebook fans.
MORTAD‘s “Waste Of My Rage” video was sponsored by the Alchemy apparel clothing brand and produced by the Manchester-based video production company Video Ink. More than a dozen actors were cast for the clip, including Collette Von Tora, who agreed to have her head shaved for this video shoot.

Rio de Janeiro-based DREADNOX was formed in 1993, composed by Fabio Schneider (vocals), Kiko Dittert (guitars), Dead Montana (bass) and Felipe Curi (drums), after 5 years away from the stages, return in full blast with the release of their second album “Dance of Ignorance” (2010). Some days ago MSFinland‘s Kostya Aronberg had a change to chat with the vocalist Fabio Schneider…
1. Hey, Fabio, welcome to Metal Shock Finland.
Hi Kostya! Nice to hear from you!
2. Dreadnox has a unique history. Can you, please, tell us a bit about what happened in the 90’s, when the band was formed?
On the October, we participated at a School party music show but our band had no name. I chose Dreadnox because a friend of mine used to sketch some cartoon aliens with this name. We won the contest so then we decided to keep Dreadnox as the name of the band.
DJ Blackdiamond of Firebrand Rock Radio and Metal Shock Finland has recently conducted a very metal interview with British metallers HELL – guitarist and producer Andy Sneap and Keyboardist and guitarist Kev Bower, after they blasted Hammerfest IV with their masterpieces.
Some of this conversation can be read below:
“We haven’t had much press here (UK) and full credit to the UK metal fans, they have really got behind us and they are so loyal, it’s great.”
“Everything this band is and represents is done to a level of quality, rather than a timescale or anything artificial like that.”
Discussing about the accessibility of bands today, Andy Sneap said – “you couldn’t get near bands back in the day, you maybe saw a gig and their video. they probably went home after and did some plumbing, but we didn’t know about that.
Metal is missing a bit of the showmanship these days and that’s what we’re trying to bring into Hell.”
Blackdiamond commented about her conversation with HELL boys: “ I spoke with HELL’s vocalistDavid Bower prior to Hammerfest and he said how much he was looking forward to playing there. They did not disappoint! It was a pleasure to meet and chat with all the members of Hell after their show, I could see how much they enjoyed it and were really happy with the crowd reaction. They were all down to earth, cool and very metal!!”

And also DJ Blackdiamond announces that she will present a special tribute show to HELL soon on Firebrand Rock Radio where she will include some other parts of her coversation with HELL members. Metal Shock Finland will keep you updated. Stay tuned!

Aaron and Blackdiamond - Hammerfest IV - 2012
When asked about the soon to be released Tragic Idol album, Aaron said – “This is the most work I’ve had to do as a rhythm guitarist since our 1992 Shades Of God album. It’s a very guitar-centric album, very heavy.
Some of the songs are among the fastest we have ever done and it’s an album that deserves to be played live.
It’s out 24th anniversary this month and we’re very appreciative of the fact that people are still here listening to us“.
