Arab Metal

Arab metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that infuses the powerful, aggressive elements of metal with the unique melodic scales, traditional rhythms, and cultural themes of the Arab world. Distinctive for blending heavy guitar riffs and thundering drums with Middle Eastern instruments and modalities, Arab metal bands like Scarab, Acrassicauda, and Al-Namrood deliver a sonic experience that's both intense and exotic. The lyrics often explore issues pertinent to the Arab socio-political landscape, blending regional history and mythology with contemporary subjects. Despite facing social and religious obstacles, Arab metal bands have cultivated a passionate fanbase, contributing to a growing presence in the global metal scene.
