Egyptian Music/Rock/Metal

I'm going out on a ledge here, I don't usually post but I'm going to because, everyone who knows me, knows my weakness is anything Egyptian.

I loved this when I heard it today, it's my kind of music, you don't have to like it though. Just saying.

I do quite like that. It is very well produced, the keyboards were a little to high in the mix for my personal taste, but that is just my personal preference. Very well performed and good to listen to. I kept expecting the Rob Plant vocals to kick in. It gives me great pleasure to award you your very first flag.

yes actually I did find parts of it a bit high, I'm still listening now. A tone or two down would have worked so much better. Thanks for your input! Robert Plant yeah! I could see that.

All it needed is more bottom end in the kick and snare drums to balance it out.
I do like the bitey guitar tone, and that key board riff sounds so familiar.

The drums brought it, the deep rhythm is drawing. The music is good, but there is room for improvement, there always is. The base kicks too.

I normally dont like metal but I bit when I saw Egyptian in the title - very nice.
BTW the Arabic melody is based around the Phrygian scale

I agree with the Plant reference; being into keyboards I liked them but it would have been more effective if it had been used in a counterpoint fashion

Do you consider the keyboard should have counterpointed the melody line of the guitar or vice versa out of interest? I'd the Phrygian Scale in this composition the Ancient Greek one or is there a unique Egyptian variant?

Kind of reminds me of Secret Chiefs 3. Great band.

This material is really starting to get me. It's very atmospheric. I'm going to try and persuade the Band Master to use it. Picture a Rifle Battalion marching to Egyptian Metal!. Just thinking of that causes my neck hair to rise.

a reply to: CulturalResilience

I like it~ tell the band master i totally condone it. How does British (eddie) Egyptian metal sound, headed by said bandmaster?

I'll let you know if he goes for it. The Rifles have a traditional March Past at the Double ceremony, so the tempo is no problem. A band leading a Double March is impressive, playing an instrument to that high standard is hard, doing it on the March is even harder, but doing it at the Double is beyond the skill level I can comprehend.
