It's always a treat for me coming across a band from the Middle East, maybe for them less so. In a region so politically clout the mere playing of such music can be condemnable which automatically draws me to them. In the small country Bahrain, Narajahanam do just this. While Bahrain is slightly more liberal, I can't imagine their style of Oriental-esque Death Metal being embraced and welcomed with open arms. The music is electric and thunderous with its Death and Black Metal influences and the Exotic vibes are ever so present Middle Eastern influences. The meshing together of Western and Eastern elements and influences in a non-kitschy way is what gives this the fresh sound it has.
