Ilmond Expands ‘Intifada' With a Deluxe Release
Feb 17, 2025
Five months after its initial release, Ilmond, formerly known as Muhab, drops the deluxe version of his acclaimed album 'Intifada', introducing three new tracks: 'Wesh', 'Kaf' and 'Malek'. These additions offer deeper insight into Muhab's newly adopted persona, further expanding the enigmatic world he crafted for this chapter of his career - what he calls 'Intifada' (Disruption).
The deluxe edition not only deepens the sonic landscape but also comes with darker artwork, encapsulating the themes explored in the music. While the original 'Intifada' carried an understated aesthetic, the new tracks embrace more expansive production, marked by complex arrangements and slower, moodier beats. Ilmond sharpens the 'Intifada' narrative, reinforcing the contemplative, angry and detached tone of the first release.
More than just an album, 'Intifada' documented a pivotal shift in Ilmond's career - a transformation from the dreamer, the emotionally wrecked kid, into a more self-focused artist, one who now embraces chaos as part of a radical reinvention. The deluxe version further cements this evolution, making it an essential continuation of his disruptive new era.

ILMOND Releases stripped down audio-visual for ‘Amana'
ILMOND releases AMANA, a new song accompanied by a black-and-white visual. The artist invites listeners into a minimalist, emotional world built on sound, grain, and intentional silence. Jul 17, 2025 With AMANA, Cairo-based artist ILMOND shares a tightly-wound piece of music and film that blur into a single, restrained gesture. Co-directed with Amr Fayek and edited alongside brollsi, the video draws from grainy textures and long silences to strip the image of anything excess. The track, produced by Omar Taai, Zvla, and Frost, with co-production from Keen and ILMOND, builds slowly, almost hesitantly, around sparse instrumentation and echo. Together, the audio and visual elements are felt more than heard.

Rami Malek's "Amateur" Sets Digital and Blu-ray Release Dates
Yara Sameh Egyptian-American Rami Malek's 20th Century thriller movie "Amateur," one of the year's best action thrillers, is all set to land on digital release later this month. Based on the 1981 novel of the same name by Robert Littell, it was adapted by Ken Nolan. British novelist and popular historian James Hawes is directing the movie from a script by Gary Spinelli. Hutch Parker and Dan Wilson are producing, with Malek executive producing. "Amateur" follows a CIA cryptographer who, after his wife is tragically killed in a London terrorist attack, demands his bosses go after them. When it becomes clear they won't act due to conflicting internal priorities, he blackmails the agency into training him and letting him go after them himself. The movie's official synopsis reads: 'Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.' The movie has generated plenty of buzz during the fall festival season. Bleecker Street has acquired U.S. rights. "The Amateur" boasts an all-star cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, Danny Sapani, and Laurence Fishburne. Release back in April, the movie racked up solid numbers at the box office. Particularly in this modern era of franchises and comic book movies. Against a budget of around $60 million, Malek's action outing grossed $95.8 million worldwide, making the movie a financial success. "The Amateur" is set to get a digital release next week on June 10, with the action thriller then landing on 4K UHD and Blu-ray a little later on July 8. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
