Deeply integrating Mesopotamian mythology into a searing extreme metal framework, the relocated Israeli band perfected their 'Mesopotamian metal' sound. The intricate guitar work completely bypasses traditional European black metal tropes, relying heavily on distinctly Middle Eastern scales and complex, tribal-infused blast beats.
