Nader Sadek is a death metal project conceived by Egyptian-born, New York-based visual artist Nader Sadek, debuting in 2011 with the album In the Flesh via Season of Mist. The record featured former Morbid Angel vocalist Steve Tucker, Cryptopsy drummer Flo Mounier, and composer and guitarist Rune Eriksen, centering on a conceptual theme exploring humanity's relationship with petroleum. The project functions as much as an art installation as a band, merging extreme metal with Sadek's broader visual practice.
