Nader Sadek

Description
The art world and the metal underground have cross-pollinated freely since at least 1999, when Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 2 juxtaposed footage of Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo with the ominous buzz of bees. More recently, the dronesmiths of Sunn O))) have capitalized on this unlikely marriage, in the process abstracting metal almost beyond recognition. B’doun O’mr (Ageless), a performance piece by Egyptian artist Nader Sadek, transmits its heady message concerning female oppression in the Middle East without compromising the genre’s core brutality. Former Morbid Angel frontman Steve Tucker, Behold…the Arctopus guitarist Mike Lerner and Cryptopsy drummer Flo Mounier join Sadek onstage, ensuring that the work stays rooted in deadly speed and savage virtuosity.
