Great gig and night. Explode became 2nd in the competition only short for 1.5 points from the first band that was more a rock/alternative band. we guess it's fine for a progressive metal band with 12 minutes instrumental songs and complex music!We would like to thank Payam Ghasemi who was our guest bass player for the night and Rodi and Georgina for their effort. You can check out a new interview with the band, videos and pictures of the event in media section.
