Heavy metal music and hard rock is not a recent thing in Egypt. It’s been going on since the late 1960s. Surprisingly, there were tens of hard rock and heavy metal bands and a lot of music festivals going on at that time. However, after a few years, those bands became inactive, some traveled, some got married and became busy with their families, or simply, grew busy. Yet, only one band stood the test of time, which is, Andromida, the only living band since the 1980s and the only Pink Floyd tribute band in Egypt.
