Narjahanam is a pioneering death/black metal band hailing from the Kingdom of Bahrain, a country not traditionally known for its heavy metal scene. Formed in 2004, the band has crafted a unique identity by infusing their extreme metal sound with Middle Eastern musical elements and themes, creating an atmospheric blend that sets them apart within the genre. Their name translates to "Fire of Hell" in Arabic, reflecting the intense and dark nature of their music.

With a discography that showcases an evolution in their sound and thematic content, Narjahanam has steadily risen within the metal underground. Their releases, including "Alzawabe'a," "Alwailu Walthuboor" and "Wa Ma Khufiya Kana A'atham," have garnered them attention for their insightful merging of regional storytelling and folklore with the aggressive musical style of death and black metal. Their 2013 release, "Undama That'hur Al Shams Mn Al Gharb," which translates to "When The Sun Rises From The West," serves as a concept album based on Islamic eschatology and has further solidified their standing as key contributors to the global metal scene, particularly in the Middle Eastern sub-genre of metal music.
