Part 1 is over here.

WARNING – THIS WHOLE THING IS LIKE TEN FRIKKIN’ PAGES – which is why it took so long to finish.

Well, this Jerusalem bunch has finally crawled out of their coop. I dig both of these songs on a serious level so I wanted to post this clip of their recent performance motzei chag Shvuot in Tel Aviv at No Limit.

Richard Z. Kruspe of Rammstein’s solo debut is coming out August 31, 2007. What’s interesting is his new cover art looks a lot like a Jewish Agency ad campaign. Check it at emigrate.eu.

I’m trying to get an interview. This should be interesting.

According to Therion’s website, they are scheduled to play Thu, Aug 30th, 2007 at the Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds. More information will be posted when it’s known.

Therion’s latest release, rock opera double album “Gothic Kabbalah,” was the band’s first release to make the Swedish charts, despite its ridiculous name.

Again from Seek Irony-

For all you non-Hebrew speakers out there – here’s a link to the Engish version of the interview with Rab and myself:

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3397845,00.html

We’re happy to let you all know that the people at myspace have helped us solve the hacking problem and the songs are back up on www.myspace.com/seekirony.

We still have to rebuild the page since the hacker erased everything on there, so please be patient – We’re working on it. : )

Thanks to our dear fans in the states we’ve found out that with the release of the YNET interview in English, Blabbermouth followed and quoted the interview as well with a front page title – check it out below and if you want, go write some comments, express your opinions!

We’ve also found out that a Lebanese news webzine came out with a front page title about “Everything We Are” today – check it out:

I just wanna state that Rab and I are not naive, thinking that all wars will end tomorrow. We simply felt, somewhere along the way, that we had a responsibilty to share our story with other people, to set an example that real life usually isn’t colored black and white – There’s a whole huge grey area in between. Together, we simply hope this will help bring people on both sides closer together and create a public discussion. With a little more luck, it might lead the silent majorities to raise a voice and push the extremists to the side for a while.

Feel free to send us comments if you like, we’ll do our best to reply each and every one.

Rock on,
Kfir,

From a press release sent out by the band:

SEEK IRONY had released lately a new song called “Everything We Are” feat. Rab, frontman for Lebanese metal band BLOOD INK, regarding the war between Israel and Lebanon, that had occured this past summer. Check out a joint interview on YNET newspaper with Kfir and Rab about the song right here.

For all you non Hebrew speakers out there – the article is also planned to be released in English soon… we’ll let you know when it does. For the mean while you can check out Kfir’s personal blog about “Everything We Are” on the SEEK IRONY myspace page – www.myspace.com/seekirony .

The interview came up yesterday as a front page article on Ynet – Immediately after the YNET interview about “Everything We Are” came out online. Someone really bored ,who apperantely didn’t like the song and its positive message to bring people on both sides of the boarder closer together, went out of his way and had hacked the SEEK IRONY Myspace page, changed the page and took off the songs, in attempt to silent us up. What a loser. At the moment, all our personal attempts to solve the problem and rebuild our page couldn’t help. Sadly, we’ve been told this isn’t just a simple usual Myspace bug that requires only a simple change of password. We sent in a formal complaint to myspace and for the meanwhile we’ve uploaded “Everything We Are” on the SEEK IRONY website – www.seekirony.com – so everybody could listen to the song. We’re trying to get the Myspace page back up as soon as possible. Please bear with us. Thanks to all of you Israelis out there for all the cool comments and the support.

“We just wanted to let you all know that SEEK IRONY will be featured on FOX SPORTS channel on national American TV tonight at 11pm (US time zone). They will use our song “Tech’N’Roll” for one of the channel’s top rating programs called “The Best Damn Sports Show” !!

“To all you SEEK IRONY American fans out there… check it out and let us know what went down since we can’t watch it here in Israel.

Rock on,

You know, Schechter in Yiddish means “butcher?”

The jovial, open-hearted and raging guitar master of two of my most beloved acts let me into his beautiful Method of Groove Studio located in scenic Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY. An hour long interview is to be transcribed.

The ups-and-downs of Life of Agony?

Why he built an awesome studio (with very nice color co-ordination) in seven weeks with his own hands, customers of which include Brand New Sin and Sworn Enemy?

Summer tour with Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Drowning Pool? Mountain goats? The power of positive thinking? Golf?

Kirk Hammett a friend and a brother?

Pete Steele (yimach shmo) a musical messiah?

Wanting to help out kids with cancer?

It’s all in here (well, we didn’t tape the cancer part, but because Joey’s now a father of a very cute ten-month old baby girl (knayna hara), he sees kids that suffer and his heart goes out to ’em so he plans to donate something to St. Jude’s Hospital (this is a beautiful person, this Joey Z. this)…..
