The reason why I made this forum I just wanted to know if there is any fans on Metalstorm, favorite Arabian band? favorite album? favorite songs? Personally my favorite band is Oath To Vanquish.

Also check this list:
Top Arabian Metal Albums

I don't know any Arabian band, unfortunately... Only Middle-Eastern bands I know are actually from Israel (Melechesh and Orphaned Land). But the traditional arabian and israeli musics seem quite similar to me, and that's normal, since both people are very close, just like german and norwegian folk musics are similar, I guess. Can you suggest any Arabian band that uses traditional elements or include "oriental drumming" like Melechesh?

I love Nervecell! Bilocate is also good!

I've heard of a few of the bands like Bilocate,Nevercell,Narjahanam and Scarab. I can't say I'm all that familiar with them, i've listened to a few samples by each of the bands but thats about it.

There is this band from Iran called Arashk...they play progressive metal and its pretty decent...

Never heard about Arabic bands, but of course middle-east has some good bands.. Not interested in Iranian bands, a few Turkish bands I've heard are good and Israel have some ubber-genius bands, above all, Orphaned Land which is the best possible mixture of middle-east music with Metal.. I think in middle-east Israel has got the best music..

thats what i have for you now but if you wish to know more bands go to www.Jorzine.com

Well I've listened to songs by Mezarkabul from Turkey...they're quite good, with good sound which is reminiscent of Finnish style (possibly because Finnish and Turkish sound rather similar to me) with some oriental approach....

Yeah in fact mezarkabul was one of the most bands that helped something called orintal metal to show and get shaped but orintal sounds have been used in metal since a long time like testment . iron madien iced earth and many others
personally my fav bands are myrath and arkan

Scarab, Odious, Redeemer (Egypt)

and also: Dark Philosophy, Enraged, Wyvern. plus other underground bands have really good talent

To my recollection, I have only listened to Oath To Vanquish, and they play an awesome mix of technical death metal and grindcore. I think I have some others on my computer. I'll have to refind them later.

yeah Grieving Age was kinda a suprice no one knew about them before they released the album i was happy to see them rise because it was a long time since we got updated on Suadi bands like wasted land and octum

@ JD : scarab album is finished but they didnt release it yet but from my side i cant wait for crescent's album they are active since 1995 but they dissappered for a while

I think i've gotta give you a warning then, you'd better not to check Damaar as well.

God i hate Ayat so much that i went into 5 pages fight in some lebanon site it got locked in the end
but i mean after more than 20 years of fighting with the gov , relagion ppl , even parents and correcting the image of metal in the middle eastern countires those fuckers come and say hey Fuck all that we will make an anti islamic band not because they hate islam but because no one done it before and well they want to be famous so fast and by that they didnt make it any easier for us at all if someone found out about them 1997 will happen all over again and this time it will be even worst
