That
(Black) Metal has found its way into the most remote places in the
world is nothing new. Saudi Arabia, however, is still a specialty, after
all, it is certainly no picnic to produce such music in an Islamic
state of God. Nonetheless, curious and open-minded listeners of extreme
musical styles should risk an ear, because AL-NAMROOD is definitely well
thought-out - Metal.de
Offers
a lot more than Black Metal with a few oriental sprinkles. Here, too,
the black art is coherently interwoven with Arabic rhythms and melodies,
creating a very unique sound from which the Norwegian roots rarely
emerge. The mixture turns out to be extremely catchy and atmospherically
gripping, and works in both mid-tempo and faster pace. - Powermetal.de
I
wish I could tell you what the song titles mean, but my Arabic is a
little rusty. But I can tell you what they sound like. They sound like a
massive sandstorm sweeping across the Arabian peninsula. - No Clean
Singing
That's
presumably because it's a lot easier to be in an anti-Christian metal
band in the US, than in an anti-Islamic metal band in Saudi Arabia. In
America, your obstacles extend to overhearing your mom tell a friend
you're just "going through a phase." In Saudi Arabia, you face social
ostracism and the possibility of imprisonment or death. - Vice News
