  • Yes I’m from the middle east. To be honest I find it very weird that there was so much metal right under my nose. I wish I could find more bands singing in Arabic, then I would compile them and post them :D

    I’ve already found Barzakh (Prog) and Narjahanam (Black Death/Middle East Influences) and they sound so nice, especially with Narjahanam incorporating Arabic-sounding riffs and drums.

    So it’s been really fun!









  • I am regularly surprised how well BM mixes with other musical styles.

    I love seeing other cultures putting their own spin on it, like we’ve got death/black with middle eastern influence Narjahanam - Alzawabe’a or Welkin - 武勇 | Emblems of Valour and its Chinese motifs.

    Now unto American Gothic. Yeah it’s pretty unique, I’d pick:

    • The Thousand Tombs of Western Promise
    • Reaper on the Oilfields
    • To Enter My House Justified
    • Black Plumes over God’s Country

    The lyrics are quite interesting, as they paint an image of a land being poisoned by trains, steam engines, etc.

    Like

    Reaper on the Oilfields

    A reaper on The oilfields You toiled long And you’ll toil still Your soul belongs now To the field

    Black Plumes over God's Country

    Smoke from the factories blends with the dust And the engine’s billowing steam The sun replaced by the darkness of this new eternity

    The black of night, now the waking day as I bury another son I beg of you, why the cross forsakes? What is that I’ve done?

    Hit pretty hard.

    I’ll definitely keep an eye out of this band, as I’d like to see them incorporate more and more folk into their music.
