Being proud of their career and happy about this special anniversary frontman Kobi Farhi states:

“Wow….it’s unbelievable 30 years have gone already! Looking back, we feel so proud we succeeded to extend the metal scene from the well-known American, South American, European & Scandinavian scenes, we made it wider when we started the ‘Oriental Metal’ genre and introduced metal from the Middle East to the world, since 1991. 

Cheers for the next 30 years!“
