Nader Sadek - In the Flesh



Egyptian-born, New York-based conceptual artist Nader Sadek is well-known in the metal world for his impressively twisted sculptures, masks, and installations. He has created visual landscapes that have greatly enhanced the overall performance of bands such as Mayhem and SUNN O))). Sadek is now venturing into the recorded music realm with his first album, In the Flesh. A collaboration between Sadek and some of extreme music’s most talented artists, In the Flesh stands to be one of this year’s hallmark metal albums. The album features a core band consisting of none other than Steve Tucker(vocals), Flo Mounier (drums), and Rune Eriksen (guitars). The massive album also features guest appearances by Attila Csihar (Mayhem, Sunn O))), Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation), Tony Norman(Monstrosity, Terrorizer), Mike Lerner (Behold…The Arctopus), and Descructhor (Morbid Angel), and Nick McMaster (Krallice). In the Flesh centers on the notion of humanity’s relationship with petroleum and how this exhumation of ancient life forms serves as a self-destructive fuel to society’s greed. The album was recorded in New York, produced by Sadek , co-produced and mixed by Tucker.
