Ever since December of last year we've been working on a new digital compilation focusing on the middle eastern metal scene's rapidly blasting talents. The release is the result of over 5 months of hunting for the region's best and most promising acts.

'METALITY - The Compilation: Volume 2 - Sounds of The Middle East' features over 50 bands from across the region. Capsulating the scene's wide variety of heavy metal sub genres into one go-to-compilation, featuring some of our favorite bands and bringing many to our territory for the first of many times to come.

"Sounds of The Middle East" has been put together along with the graceful help of our promotional sponsors: Metal-Waves.com, Moroccan Metal Community, NoCleanSinging.com, LebMetal.com, Streaming Chaos and our sister site Metality UAE, which we are more than honored to have them on board for the project.

Cover art, flyer, and promo video were all made by our good friends over at New Breed Studio.
If you want some killer artwork done for your band, fast and efficient, then you need to hit up these guys for some fine Italian work.

The compilation is 100% free. We're not asking for much in return. We do this for the love of metal, and because we believe in the region's rapidly progressing talent. All we ask for is that you support the bands, tell your friends about your favorites, visit their links. If they're in your city for a show, head down there with a bunch of friends. Buy a t-shirt or CD. Post about them on your Facebook or other social sites. You can easily share this post by hovering your mouse over the little blue button on the bottom left corner to share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Stay up to date with everything metal by liking our Facebook fan page, and if you're in a band make sure to post your links.

We hope you enjoy the release and have a healthy headbanging session to over 4 HOURS of face melting middle eastern metal!
