Bouq

Bouq Is The Brainchild Of The Multi-Instrumentalist Muhannad Bursheh Also In Tyrant Throne Augury Jor . Based In The Jordanian Capital Amman The One-Man Band Was Previously Known As 'Phex' Between 2001-2007 And During That Period Just Like M. Bursheh's Other Bands Managed To Become Recognized Among The Most Renowned Metal Acts In The Region With A Solid Full-Length Album In 2005 Entitled 'Transfixion' And 3 Demos In 2001 2002 And 2003. The Project Even Managed To Perform A Few Live Shows With The Recruitment Of Session Members. In 2007 A Positively Unstable Period In The Band's Journey Began With Lots Of Changes Occurring - In Specific The Band Name The Musical Style And Lyrical Concepts. 'Bouq' Is Ancient/classical Arabic For ‘war Horn' Or 'blowing Horn'. Through Horned Helmet Productions A Re-Issue Of The Full-Length 'Transfixion' Was Released In October 2010. The Re-Issue Has The Title 'Ascending From Transfixion' And Is Released Under The Project's Current Name Bouq. In December 2010 Also Through Horned Helmet Productions The Long Anticipated 2nd Full-Length Album 'Berserk' Was Finally Released. 'Berserk' Lifts Bouq To Another Level In Masterly Musicianship And Execution - The Album Marks A New Era In Bouq's History Where The New Sound Of The Band Is Introduced Leaving Behind The Groovy Death/dark Metal Style Heard On The 1st Album And Earlier Releases. 'Berserk' Is A Unique Experience Of Ancient Spirited Dark/black Metal Enriched With Tribal Barbaric & Warrior-Like Atmospheres. It Is But The First Part Of An Epic And Diverse Peregrination Bouq Is Taking - After 'Berserk' The Focus Will Be Set On The Colossal Ancient Civilizations Of The Near East.
