#30-Inside the darkness

Immortal Sun- Melodic Black Metal from Egypt
1-Tell us about the roots
of IMMORTAL SUN.
When, where and why
did you decide to
form the band?
The roots go back to the
eighties of the last century,
where my father was the singer
and guitarist for a band called
Serpents, and
when my father
found
that we had a
talent for playing
and
singing,
he decided
to form
Immortal Sun despite
our young age.

impact.
4 - What
were your
musical

We were influenced by
hard rock music, specifically
black sabbath band, then
we started leaning toward
death metal, and finally we
are a black metal band.

first instrument?
We all started playing
guitar as kids.

in Egypt.

wave of young, talented
artists, how
do you see the scene

a great influence and spread.
11 - What do you think
are the main differences
between the ‘old school’
and the so called ‘new
school’ of extreme music?
The difference between the
two schools is due to the depth
of the old school compared to
the new school, which is sometimes
characterized by superficiality
and foolishness.
12 - Where would you like to take
Immortal Sun? Do you have
future plans to play live?
Sure, we will
play live very soon.
