Album review: ANTI-QURAN RITUALS, by Seeds of Iblis
To start, this is Black Metal from Iraq. Black Metal is generally the real Satanic metal. Years back, there something like 80 church burnings, around Norway. If this kind of thing offends you, just scroll by it.
In Islam, Iblis is one of the names of Satan(Lucifer). One of the problems with translating Arabic to English is that the English spellings tend to vary a bit. Eblis is also used, instead of Iblis. Note that eblis is the name of a monster bird, in the ADVANCED DUNGEONS && DRAGONS game (chuckle).
Off-topic a bit, but I do have a complete collection of Al-Qadim, and I have read it complete, very carefully.
Now, the scales of the Middle East and the West are different. Interestingly, the Middle Eastern scales work very well for Metal. I wonder about pre-Islamic Arabic music. Of course, there was the systematic destruction of most of the original Arabic culture && religion. I've heard that there were 360(!) gods worshiped in Mecca, before it's fall to Islam.
I like the latter tracks in this LP. It is worth listening to in it's entirety. I consider "Islamophobia" to be a masterpiece, 1 of the top 100 Metal songs of all time. Islamic music and classical piano are woven into the song as well. Technically, not that difficult perhaps.
Now, of course: Seeds of Iblis would literally be executed for this. So, there are no band pictures. Is it all a hoax? Who knows, but the music remains.
