Heavy Metal to rock Morocco in February



If Metal Rock is your thing then head to Sidi Kacem on February 23. The Sidi Rock festival is follow up to a 2005 initiative by BERBER Badr - a collaboration between the bands: Anaconda, Black Wolves, Imperium, Metal Inc. and Mercy Killing.

The event in 2005 was described as only being moderately successful, but this has not stopped Maison d’Art animé, Badr and CHBIHI Amine getting together a second edition of the festival to showcase young talent and feed an audience they describe as "a public thirsty for creativity and originality."

The organisers say that "despite the many obstacles and drawbacks that represents such a consecration, organizers have taken action to advance the Moroccan Rock/Metal scene offering a chance for young people to develop this kind of music."

The event will take place in the province of Sidi Kacem on February 23, 2008 in Dar Echabab; Listed to perform are eight groups from different Moroccan regions: DESPOTISM (Casablanca), ATMOSPHEAR (Rabat), DAMNED CREATION (Sidi Kassem), KREMATORIUM (Kenitra), FLOOD OF HATE (Kenitra), EPHEMERAL PROMISE (Rabat), SAKADOYA (Settat) and HAMMER HEAD (Kenitra).

Rabat's Ephemeral Promise.

As their press release says: "All hope and expect a support, be it local authorities or organims and media, in order to devote them a humble place in the Moroccan music scene.We invite you to come and live for many memorable moments that will forever mark our history."
