Hailing from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, Middle Eastern black metal pioneers Al-Namrood will be delivering their tenth album, titled Al Aqrab on June 9th via the Toronto-based Shaytan Productions. The record title translates to “Scorpion Prison” and marks the first full-length release with vocalist Artiya’il, alongside founding multi-instrumentalist Mephisto (ex-Mephisophilus).
Until the full release, you’ll need to taste the band’s Dark Funeral-like 90’s black metal style meshed with regional musicalities akin to Melechesh.
Watch the video for their sinister and seductive, new single “Lisan Al Nar.”
