Carthagods (Tunisia)

Carthagods are from Tunisia and the current line-up features the talents of Khemakhem Mehdi on vocals, Ben Sassi Tarak on lead guitar, Ben Salem Houssem on bass guitar and Ben Hamed Aymen on drums. The band was formed in 1997, but played mainly cover songs of acts such as Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica and Pantera. They began to gravitate towards original material around 2001, but suffered a double blow when one of the original guitarists, Wassim Kileni left and his replacement died. They have shared the stage with singers such as Paul Di'Anno and Tim 'Ripper' Owens and regularly feature at the 'Rock Tunisia' event.

Here's "Memories of Neverending Pain", which shows a slightly softer side of metal out of Africa
