The Arabian Metal Godz from Jordan, the band that you have to watch out! Fans of Death metal and Thrash metal have to check 'em now.

First of all, say greeting to Metalthai Webzine 's readers,Bro'!
Ajdath: Hello everyone, guys from Metalthai thanks for having me here.

Please tell me the brief history of your band,Bro'.

Ajdath: AJDATH started in 1995 playing a mixture of old school death metal and thrash metal. it went through lots of bands members changings which effected its progress,in 1996 AJDATH released its first demo "LAST RESURRECTION" few years later the bassist had to leave the band for he had to travel from jordan and continue his studies,I was busy with 2 other bands mean while " DARKCIDE" "X" so AJDATH stayed paused untill 1999, when i moved to POLAND and reformed the band, we released the 2nd demo THEY WILL BURN, again i had problems finding good musicians so not before 2006 i could release the mini cd TRIANGLE OF DEATH through MUTERECORDS. now im working on new full album that will be more technical and heavier than TRIANGLE OF DEATH.

Can you define about Jordan Death metal's sound and the major characteristic of Arabian metal, what're the different from the normal metal style?
Ajdath: I think the main diffrence is the oriental and arabic melodies and theme,most of the bands are infuluenced by the same good old bands that every metal head lestines to.

What's the meaning of AJDATH?
Ajdath: AJDATH is an ancient arabic word for the graves of the ressurrected ones.

To be frank with your cover, I don't like it ,Bro'. What's the meaning of your cover? and what's the concept of it?
Ajdath: To be honest i wasnt planning to have cartoonish style of artwork, but my friend AMER KOCH from JAHANNAM.ORG offered me his help with it and he did very good job on it, it represents 2 sides of the story, the sex,politics and religion, and the other triangle of magic, the other lifes forms and supernaturals.

Actually, I think your musick is brilliant, especially your guitar part is a killer! Fuckin Awesome! Please tell me about the idea to create your songs.

Ajdath: Thanks for your kind comments, im an old school fan so i think you can hear what influences my music.but im a technical metal fan too and it will appear more on the new cd im working at.dont expect me to play something like NECROPHAGIST or ATHIEST, Im more into the old school death/thrash metal but i like it to be technical too. usually i like to play very fast riffing, i dont feel Im playing unless the riffs gets my hand tired.

How's going on with Triangel of Death? Have many good response from the fans and media?

Ajdath: Yes, i was really surprised by the very good responce the cd recieved. i knew the production of the cd wasnt as i wanted, but still people did apreciate the songs and the concept. Im very excited to hear comments of the new cd.

What's your plan in the future with AJDATH,Bro'?
Ajdath: My plan is to keep playing good metal the best way i can, to keep it true and brutal.

The last,Bro'...wanna say something to MetalHeads who read this interview, go ahead!
Ajdath: I wanna thank everyone who got our cd and every one who supports us, and I would like to thank Metalthai for this nice interview.
