But the interesting thing about Arabic language is the fact its numerous dialects (yes, including the Maltese language) are so diverse, from what I've heard, that Arabic speakers who use different dialects might have troubles communicating. xD That's also one of the reason a semi-constructed standardized form called Modern Standard Arabic is used fo things like, newspapers, instruction manuals etc. |

Any of these bands that actually sing in arabian? I'm always interested in bands from other parts of the world that sing in their own mother tongue.

What is "doomsday drumming"? What's a "tectonic guitar"? |

Couple people posted bands from Israel here. Note: you should read the specifications at the top--I did not include Israeli bands with this post because I did an entire separate list which can be found here:

I'm not sure if Ahvak was mentioned but one of my favourite avant albums was their sole release.
Realeaf from Israel are a psychedelic band that play melancholic music. "Possibly Not" just hits the spot with me. |

ESTA'S "MEDITERRANEAN CROSSROADS" IS REALLY GOOD, FROM 1996 Check out "Deror Yik'ra" as an example (originally Song 1, now Song 9) https://mp3.pm/search/s/f/esta+deror+yik+ra/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHfsUbpKyO0&t=2729s Edited by Boojieboy - May 20 2024 at 09:04 |

Aperco is an Israeli contemporary prog-rock band known for their unique blend of musical influences and intricate compositions. Their music can be described as a fusion of progressive rock elements with hints of classical, jazz, and pop undertones. Aperco's sound is characterised by complex arrangements, technical proficiency, and thought-provoking lyrics that often delve into deep philosophical themes. The band's debut album, "The Battle," from 2016, showcases their musical prowess and creativity, drawing inspiration from 70s progressive rock bands while infusing their own innovative style, creating a sonic landscape that captivates listeners with its depth and complexity. |

There's Sanhedrin. I don't know their music but apparently they were Camel influenced. Also a band called Trespass who are pretty good. Both are from Israel.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I really like this song by Simplexity (Egypt)!
It's also important to note that the vocalist's English accent is excellent. Clear neutral pronunciation, no audible foreign accent, impressively close to a native speaker. |

I just got done listening to Al Basim and it's a little too congested for me, but would love to hear some Arab 70s prog with some more melody, and not obsessed with how fast and complex you can play. But I did find a cool 70s prog from around the world site (obscure) https://www.youtube.com/@70sMusicParadise
