notes

Dubai's Nervecell delivers with "Preaching Venom" a unique mix of old school death metal and modern extreme metal with lots of melodies and groove! This new effort features PSYCROPTIC's David Haley (also of THE AMENTA, RUINS) on drums, mixed by Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawscy (VADER, DECAPITATED, HATE) and mastered by Alan Douches (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH).

Nervecell emerged early in the year 2000 in the commercial city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Surrounded by a music scene that is dominated completely by the mainstream musical hype, Nervecell independently worked their way up and have undoubtedly proven to be the most potential metal outfit in the Middle East to date, delivering a powerful unique mixture of death metal & thrash metal.

Following the success of the first demo “Vastlands of Abomination” in 2003, the band hit the studio to record their debut EP “Human Chaos” in summer 2004. The release grabbed a lot of attention from both the underground local scene and the masses from around the globe. Being aired on local station Dubai Radio One’s weekly metal show Heavy Metal Thunder and various international radio stations as UK’s Total Rock and Germany’s The Metal Observer Radio, ranking their Top 20 charts. “Human Chaos” also received many positive reviews from various webzines & magazines in Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Morocco, USA, Czech Republic, Canada and Britain’s metal bible Metal Hammer. The success of “Human Chaos” led Nervecell the opportunity to perform at the annual Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2005 opening for legendary SEPULTURA and the mighty MACHINE HEAD. The festival also gave them the chance to play alongside SAXON, WITHIN TEMPTATION and THE DARKNESS. In 2006, London based drummer Gavin Ward (ex-POWER QUEST, LAST HOURS OF TORMENT) joined Nervecell and toured with the band for a good year and a half.

In 2007 Nervecell headlined the Egypt Metal Festival 2007, in Cairo, Egypt and soon after embarked on a full headline “Road Rage” tour in March/April 2007 in Australia culminating with the headline spot in Metalstock Festival 2007, Australia's only 3 day metal festival. After the successful Australian headlining tour, the band was then asked to play Metalcamp Festival 2007 in Tolmin, Slovenia alongside MOTOR HEAD, SEPULTURA, KREATOR, IMMORTAL, BLIND GUARDIAN, CRADLE OF FILTH and many others which marked Nervecell as the only Middle Eastern based metal band to ever play in such a large scale European festival.

Nervecell was exclusively interviewed by Terrorizer Magazine as part of an article on the Middle Eastern metal scene. Soon after that they were interviewed by Sam Dunn of the infamous Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey where they will appear on his latest video documentary Global Metal which discusses the impact of metal music on different cultures.

In March 2008 Nervecell performed at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival 2008 for the second time sharing the stage with AS I LAY DYING, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, MACHINE HEAD, VELVET REVOLVER and many more. In April 2008 Nervecell released their highly anticipated new album 'Preaching Venom' featuring PSYCROPTIC's drummer David Haley behind the drum kit. The album is mixed by the acclaimed producers Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawscy (VADER, DECAPITATED, HATE) at Hertz Studio in Poland and mastered by the infamous Alan Douches at West West Side Music (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH) in New Windsor, New York. The CD artwork was created by Dennis Sibeijn (ABORTED, ALL SHALL PERISH, JOB FOR A COWBOY).

Right after the release of the new album, the band was selected to open for Polish death metal veterans Vader in Egypt. In June 2008, they are set to co-headline Morocco’s Casa Gateways Festival 2008 along with BEHEMOTH, GRAVEWORM, EMETH and many more. Nervecell will also make their return to Europe this summer, already scheduled to perform at Metal Healing Festival 2008 in Greece including other festivals yet to be confirmed.

With the new album “Preaching Venom” now out all over the Middle East and North Africa through Music Master, Nervecell have set the standards high and will surely convince the masses worldwide that metal is alive and well in the Middle East.

    This is a killer album, never expected Nervecell to deliver such an intense, brutal, melodic thrashy metal with an oriental touch to it.. I have their older album too but this new CD is untouchable.
