I hope this gets more people to put up cool vids Big smile (and maybe "tolerance" too while enjoying the

I believe the angry in some culturally arab/persian bands is more motivated by the biased interpretation of corrupt governments of Islam than hate against the religion itself.

I'm not totally surprised by that. Iran is an extremely repressive country. In some ways it can be compared to the USA circa 1987 - the golden era of American thrash metal.

Well, when you put it that way, it sounds like a good thing. Tongue

I have once heard of an Iraqi black metal band, I think that their album is called Fatwa Against Islam. I will post a vid when I find one.

Well thought I'd add some stuff,

This thread was a little neglected as we are all probably being exposed to more bands from the
Orient and Middle East.

But after I was looking more into this excellent band "Escher's Knot" . . .


I came across these compilations of various Indian/Hindi Bands, some of
them sound super interesting Big smile . . .
(Look at the details below Vids as they have Names of Bands and their sites):





You can imagine most of these guys are probably on a shoestring budget yet keeping the
Metal scene alive and growing, so more METAL FISTS to them and I hope their industry grows.

Heres some more discoveries . . .


Israeli Metal:


More . . .


Narjahanam from Bahrain Iran:

(what a gorgeous Logo)

Sand Aura from Egypt:


Al-Namrood from Saudi Arabia:


Folk Metal from . . . Afghanastan! Al Qaynah:


Shangren (not quite sure theyre from China but influenced):


ChthoniC from Taiwan:

(pronounced "Sonic"), I have a "Best Of", seems they are
becoming more streamlined from their Black Metal days).


Arkan from France w-Saudi Arabian background:

From 2011 (I need to get this):

Live (love watching the Female singer dance :):

I'm sure we'll add more.

. . .  .  start your trip down the Orient Express and across Deserts sands Smile.

I'll add others soon, that many may have not heard of, but the many others that have, go ahead
and add them as well Wink.

Hey CE,
topo brings up a good point, did you want Oriental/Asian/Middle Eastern Bands from their perspective
Countries (with their influences)?  Or ANY Band with those Continents influencial sounds?
Then Nile is a great example of Extreme Metal with Egyptian/Middle Eastern influences Thumbs Up.
Also if you are in a "mellower" mood, try Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth) and his 2 Solo Albums
"Scenes" and "Intermission" that are very influenced by Japanese Traditional Music and he
sometimes makes his Guitar sound like a "Shamisen" Big smile.  He speakes Japanese like a native and is
a Big Celeb there as he makes alot of TV appearances (and he lives in Japan now)!  He also plays
Metal guitar with traditional Female Japanese singers, its pretty amazing!

I'd put up some Vids from the 2 albums from YOUtube but I might get Ouch.
But this may be METAL enough Wink:


Man... I dont know why but this makes me a bit emotional,
gives me shivers up my spine . . . beautiful.  :guitarbang2:

The lack of Nile in this thread is painful. For shame! Angry
 
Anyways, definitely heavier than the bands you're looking for probably, but incredibly good technical death metal.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Ta guys.

Yeah, I specifically meant middle-eastern bands really but I enjoy bands that tend to naturally employ their regional style to metal anyway, and that includes eastern Asian bands too.

Not metal but the swiss alternative rock Maniacs released an album with an egyptian band playing traditional music, Sharkiat. And the meeting of both worlds works very well !
