He called in his friend who is also a guitarist of 18 years old called Roy Lteif who in turn did not hesitate to join the "band". After a hard search, Wissam finally found an amazing vocalist who can sing that close to Bruce, his name is Gerard Gulgulian of 25 years old. Then Roy calls in his neighbor who is a bassist called Jad Youssef with the age of 16, at that time he had only been playing the bass for 3 months but agreed to join them.

My idol and my favorite bassist is "Cliff Burton" (10-2-1962 till 27-9-1986). He is my influence and one of the reasons why I play the bass.

At 1st I used to play mostly alternative songs, but then after the motivation of some friends I got really into metal and mostly Iron Maiden after I was influenced by their amazing drummer Nicko McBrain.

Born in 27-12-1990. I have always been fascinated by  music. I started playing the piano at the age of 9.It was good in  the beginning ,but I felt something was wrong. In music stores, I never took a look at the keyboards; but instead, I was attracted by electric guitars. After 3 years, I got bored, and I noticed that the piano was  too "classy" for me. So I gave it up, bought my first guitar, and started practicing. And of course, Iron Maiden were my first influence. When I met Wissam Abboud, we started jamming together. We were inseparable.We passed by 3 bands in one year. Finally our dream came true, Frozen Flames, the Iron Maiden tribute... I am and always will be a diehard metalhead \m/.
