Egyptian artist Nader Sadek has invited Steve Tucker (ex-Morbid Angel), Trym (Emperor, Zyklon), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Ralph Santolla (Obituary, ex-Death), Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Miles Jay (ex-Fathy Salama’s Orchestra), Liron Peled (Raquy & The Cavement) and Raquy Danziger to contribute to his multimedia installation “The Faceless” that opens on September 6 at Michael Steinberg Fine Art in New York.
