Scarab is a prominent death metal band hailing from Cairo, Egypt, that has been crafting its dark and immersive musical oeuvre since its formation in 2006. Named after the sacred beetle of ancient Egyptian mythology, Scarab's music captures the mystique of their cultural heritage while delivering a heavy dose of aggressive and profound death metal. The band's lyrical themes are known for their depth, often touching upon philosophical and existential ideas, personal struggles, and themes inspired by ancient Egyptian spirituality and history.

Scarab's musical journey continued to expand and intensify with their more recent releases. With "Martyrs of the Storm" (2020), the band unleashed a powerful blend of brutal riffs and an atmosphere reminiscent of the ancient worlds they draw inspiration from. This release followed earlier impactful works like "Bloodmoon Shadows," "Coffin Texts," and "Serpents of the Nile," each contributing to the evolution of their signature sound. The latter, with its rich narrative framework and cultural inflections, particularly showcased Scarab's ability to weave the historical with the mythological, setting them apart in the metal scene. Admired for their technical prowess and the ability to convey intense emotion through their music, Scarab has not only garnered a dedicated fan base across the Middle East but has also gained recognition on the international metal stage.
