This is a review of an older recording from Saudi Arabia's AlNamrood which shows the music being black metal mixed in with elements of oriental folk music and the album was originally released in 2021 by Shaytan Productions and is going to be re-issued on vinyl in 2021 by Shaytan Productions.
A very epic keyboard orientated sound starts off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark and melodic style while elements of oriental and arabic folk music are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while some of the tracks are also long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with the percussion also giving the songs more oa a tribal atmosphere when they are utilized.
The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the songs also sticking mostly to either a slow or mid tempo direction as well as the tracks also mixing in Nordic influences with an Arabic twist on the genre. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Arabic and cover Ancient History, Evil, Darkness and Anti Religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from AlNamrood and if you are a fan of black metal with elements of oriental folk music, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Min Trab Al Jahel" "Kiram Al Nataiaa" and "Bani Le em". 8 out of 10.
