Lebanese Extreme Metal | Overkill Global Metal Reviews

[@zacwhite1831]

As a person of Lebanese descent, that makes me very happy. Good on you Banger. \m/

[@AnEvolvingApe]

I was just scrolling down to the comment section to make some jokes about the "Iron Maiden" vox but saw your comment first and... damn dude... good on you and happy trails! \m/

[@KAOTEON]

Zac White cheers. Your support will keep this metal flame burning \m/

[@void1754]

I live in France and became friends with a few Lebanese people and guess what... I love them all, they're great people, most of them are students between 19 and 25yo (I'm 33) and we really enjoy eachother's company, I learned a lot from them and they learned a lot from me. I really don't understand why some people refuse to treat immigrants as equal, we're all fucking human beings, it drives me crazy when people just won't understand that under the skin color and beyond our respective cultures, we're all the same.

[@a.r.p2654]

Holy shit. Damaar blew my mind. Some of the heaviest stuff I’ve heard in a while. Just wow. Thanks for doing this.

[@cat_and_cabbage4662]

Two of the Damaar members were also in a speed Metal band called Nightchains, if you’ve not heard it I would highly recommend, it’s one of my all time favorite metal projects

[@mayabc333]

"Do you want to die?" Wow, these guys are really honest about what it's like to live in Lebanon.

As someone who lives in Lebanon and has been in the scene for a while now,I was extremely happy to see that it's getting it's due for once, but i was really hoping to see some more of our bands being shown, bands like EDEN, DEATHTONE and PHENOMY, regardless of my personal opinion towards these bands, they're definitely a must listen! Thank you again for the great reviews!!

Lebanese food and music are great. It is a classic centre of civilisation and culture.

[@KAOTEON]

Amadeus190890 cheers to that

[@Amadeus-ms9lt]

@@KAOTEON No problem. As a non-Arab, I find Levantine culture really interesting and I wish well for the region. I know Lebanon and other Levantine have so much to offer culturally. Yet all most people experience is crap in Europe. According to my Bulgarian acquaintance, Beirut has the best ice cream she's eaten. And this woman has travelled Italy!

Great to see you doing these shows. Focussing on the metal scene in a particular country. I do the same on my radio show at metal messiah radio. And i discovered some real treasures by doing that.

That would be cool the only French Black Metal band that I know it's Peste Noire (Alcest right now it's somethin like BLack Gaze) and if there are more French Balck Metal bands as good as Peste Noire that video will be good.

[@jabrane1564]

Great video!

[@ATotalDork]

Shout out to Ostura. They're not an extreme metal band -- more of a prog-power sound ala Symphony X -- but they're from Lebanon and have two albums. Their second album, The Room, was released this year and it's one of my top 5 albums of the year. Highly recommend

[@KAOTEON]

Horns up for the Lebanese scene! Will definitely give plenty of the mentioned records a spin. Isreali prog metal scene (Scardust, Winterhorde, Soul Enema, Infy, Soul Torture,...) next, please!

[@BangerTV]

Thanks for the suggestion. We did a prog episode already this round of Overkill Global but it's a great idea for season 2!

There cannot be too much prog :-P Really looking forward ot all future episodes, by the way.

[@ryanmoore5425]

Looking forward to the episode on metal from India, especially the scene in Kolkata (Tetragrammacide, Aparthiva Raktadhara, Chinnamasta, etc.)

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

Now that's a worthy episode!

[@BelieMyBurial]

do something on the yugoslavian metal scene, if possible. i don't know too much myself, but there is a band called Psychoparadox and i consider their album "Apeiron" one of my favorite melodic death releases, and it'd be cool if more people outside of serbia than just me knew about it lol.

[@xXDOMINAT8RXx]

Thank you for covering Lebanon

[@BiancaTallarico]

Ayat is one of my favorite band's from Lebanon. They're so perverse. Also they sound like a black metal version of Ministry. Wish the guys would get back together and make a new album.

[@shxdowscythe4103]

Metalhead from lebanon here. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@gguolo]

Best review so far

[@theoptimisticmetalhead7787]

I fucking love Ayat. SOOO glad to get to see these guys get some exposure. I wish I had something more articulate to say about it. But I just can't believe they're getting recognition. I'm just so excited for them. I'm sad to see Al-Namrood didn't get any love. Saudi black metal band out there kickin ass and takin names. My vote for where next is the Netherlands just to see Oathbreaker.

[@williamarnold1835]

Blayne not Blaine! Sorry about my last comment! Best reviewer, period!!!!

[@michaelsayed]

[@lebaneseheadbanger3053]

I'm a Lebanese headbanger since I was 10. That is from 1985. And trust me Blayne. We have many good bands since 80s and before. But too bad the war and the situation in Lebanon won't let u fulfill what you dream of in the music industry. Many bands would release an album and then everyone is looking for the good life to live making money. We all love a hard life in Lebanon, yet we have amazing talents and a big metal scene.
