Hello everyone

We are proud to announce that Nervecell will be performing at Dubai Desert Rock Festival 2009 along with MOTORHEAD, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, CHIMAIRA and AUGUST BURNS RED which is set to take place on March 6, 2009 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

We are really excited to be invited once again to play next year’s Desert Rock Festival as it has always proven to be a blast playing with such killer bands for our home crowd in Dubai. Next year’s Desert Rock Festival is going to be an absolute thrill to share the same stage with legendary Motorhead as well as influential bands such as Opeth and Arch Enemy!

Stay tuned for more confirmed 2009 festival appearances by Nervecell in the coming weeks.

Hey guys

Nervecell would like to thank all the fans who showed up to our last 2 local gigs which took place earlier this month on October 17 and 18 in Dubai. We had an absolute blast and it sure was good to play to the home crowd after such a long time!

Now onto something more exciting to look forward to; we have finally finished shooting the music video for the song “Demean” off our latest album “Preaching Venom”. The video was shot in Dubai and is currently being edited at this stage. The video is scheduled to be released towards the end of 2008. In the meantime you can check out some photos taken from the video shoot below:

In other news James Khazaal (Vocalist/Bassist) has signed an endorsement deal with Spector basses (USA), and here’s a statement about the deal: "The reason why I choose Spector over any other is due to its precise live and studio sound. Both atmospheres require no compromise with sound quality and so far Spector provides that all. Apart from the output capabilities, this monster is surprisingly dynamic. It looks good and feels good!”

MetalEater.com (USA) - 9/10

LordsOfMetal.Nl (The Netherlands) - 95/100

"This is an album I've been looking forward to for the past few years. I really liked their 'Human Chaos' MCD, but there were some points of interest: more variations in riffing and speed and more creative drum parts. Well I guess these guys from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) have been listening to my opinion, because the new album is FUCKING GREAT! The album just blew me away..." Read Full Review

Obliveon.De (Germany) - 9/10

Within these four years these promising exotics have developed into a first-class Death Metal-combo, who have worked hard for a name in the world-wide metal-scene..." Read Full Review
