SI #24 This is Samer Nakhala & Mamdoh Tawili | Dune

Sentimental Illness

Dune. Not the movie. The band. from the other side of the world. Where music lives to inspire something new. Where sounds come out with fresh twists.
I had heard the new album by Dune recently and loved the distinct and unique tones... the scales and rhythms. I sent a message to their PR company, saying 'that's the one.' For me, something stood out.
Perhaps it's that certain something that nobody can really quantify, but I recognized it's unique power and wanted to host them today... so.... here we go.
Calling all the way from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, please welcome to the show....Samer and Mamdoh from Dune! Hey guys!

Check out the new record, "Years of Chains" available everywhere. “Years Of Chains” explores themes around culture, urban legends, and personal issues, providing listeners with a unique perspective on heavy music. DUNE’s commitment to delivering an intense and fun experience with raging tones is evident in every track on the EP and is suitable for those who enjoy Testament, Slayer, Pantera, and Metallica.

Weird stories:
Last week, a woman in Texas was awarded the Guinness world record title of having the largest known tongue in the world FOR A WOMAN, measuring a massive 3.1 inches across. She also has a monstrously huge mouth... so it makes sense. Her tongue is wider than it is long, which is bonkers. As a reference, the largest in the world is held by a man at a staggering 3.49 inches wide... which is just super gross.
