Al-Namrood, a Saudi Arabian black metal band, was founded in 2008 by vocalist Mukadars and keyboardist Ostron. Guitarist Mephisto joined soon after, shifting their sound towards extreme metal. Their first demo Atba'a Al-Namrood was released in 2008, followed by the full-length album Astfhl Al Tha'r in 2009. Subsequent albums include Estorat Taghoot (2010), Kitab Al Awthan (2012), and Worship the Degenerate (2022). Known for incorporating oriental percussion and traditional Arabic instruments like the oud and kanun, their lyrics often address themes of tyranny, religious oppression, and social injustice.
