UMUR
"In the Flesh" is the debut full-length studio album by US, New York death metal act Nader Sadek. The album was released through Season of Mist in May 2011. Nader Sadek is a project which is named after it´s founder Egyptian-American artist Nader Sadek. Nader Sadek is known as a stage director, visual arts artist, and producer for artists like Mayhem and Sunn O))).

"In the Flesh" is a concept release as it was created by Sadek to bring the hazards of petroleum usage to the public eye. Sadek is responsible for composing all material on the album, artwork design, and for producing the album. He has enlisted drummer Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy, Solium Fatalis), guitarist Rune Eriksen (Aura Noir, Mayhem, Twilight of the Gods), and lead vocalist/bassist (Morbid Angel, Warfather) to perform the music he has written.

...and with an all star cast like that it´s really no surprise that the music is exceptionally well played. It´s played with great conviction and high level technical skill. Stylistically the music on the album is technically well played death metal and it´s artists like Nile, Behemoth, and especially Morbid Angel, who come to mind. "In the Flesh" is well produced too, and upon conclusion it´s a quality debut release by Nader Sadek, which even features a pretty interesting and urgent concept. When that is said the material aren´t that original sounding, and it´s not the kind of album that instantly screams that you´re listening to Nader Sadek, so developing a more unique sound, which could set Nader Sadek apart on the scene is needed before the really high ratings are given out. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
