Metal to the Bones

The Battle is Over

Blaakyum ended the GBOB in 7th position. Although that means that practically they did not end within the top 3, still for a band from Lebanon and for a METAL band (the only metal band that made it through to the finals in UK) this is a very good achievement.

All in all 3000 bands participated in the GBOB Challenge this year and for Blaakyum to end up 7th is actually a good start.

We can proudly say, Blaakyum did vanquish London.

And until the next Battle... we will forsake ye not.

Lord Of The Night - out in the new year

Blaakyum are in the process of recording their first Demo. This will be a pre-phase before the band release their debut album, and will give their fans an opportunity to listen to what the band is all about.

Blaakyum will be releasing a double Debut in Lebanon entitled "The Gate" and "The Land" the first being a collection of their 90's Era songs and the second the more recent materials. The Demo will feature 7 songs. Six of which are from the "The Land" album and one from the 90's Era.

The Demo will be released sometimes after the new year and will be entitled:

Lord Of the Night - Demo 2008

So be on he look out.

And the Battle rages on... Blaakyum qualifies to the finals

This is the GBOB official statement on the first day of the Challenge that took place at Camden Underworld in London:

"The first evening of the three-day, two venue GBOB Challenge World Final, which took place at the Underworld in Camden was a fantastic success. All the 11 bands who played deserve credit for a very entertaining evening but in the end only seven bands could go through to the Superfinal at the Electric Ballroom on Thursday December 6.

The bands that went through, in no particular order are:Cliff Clavin from Iceland; Moja from Japan; The Dirty Words from Wales; Gurzuf from Belarus; Most Wanted from Thailand; Y2K from Malaysia and Blaakyum from Lebanon."

The Lebanese flag will carry on to the next Battle... Another stage conquered.
