Saudi Arabia's AlNamrood has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an oriental folk music influenced form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Al Aqrab" which will b e released in June by Shaytan Productions.
A very heavy and epic sound starts off the album along with some keyboards also being mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of oriental folk music and percussion are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording. Death metal growls are also added on a couple of the tracks along with the music also getting very tribal and ritualistic sounding at times and as well as a couple of the songs also being an instrumental, chants can also be heard briefly and most of the album also sticks to a mid tempo direction.
On this recording AlNamrood remains true to the oriental folk music influenced style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover historical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from AlNamrood and if you are a fan of oriental folk music influenced black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ardh Bela Sma" "Al Ghasasina" and "Al Jurm Al Madfoon". 8 out of 10.
