Dawaer al Kahatar

Al-Namrood was formed in January 2008 with the aim to create something unusual and unique to the metal scene in general and for BM- scene in particular. Bandmates were Mukadars ( former vocalist ) and Ostron ( our keyboard player ) , they had a great desire to play the traditional oriental music with Dark themes and evil atmosphere. They began to do so in 2007 , and soon they will have a few suggestions which could easily be combined with metal music. Sometime in late 2007 Ostron met Mephisto, who already had their BM- project Mephisophilus. They offered him to join the Eastern group as a guitarist ( while in the group did not have a guitarist and bassist ) . Mephisto loved the idea and Ostron Mukadars. He suggested putting two styles : Oriental music and Black Metal, as these styles would be harmonized perfectly with each other. And so in 2008 the group was formed , performing Oriental Black Metal, called Al-Namrood.

Al Manfredi, born to a musical family of Italian immigrants in the small SoCal beach town of San Clemente, found regional success with his garage rock band Lost & Found while he was still a teenager. The tragic deaths of two of the band’s members in the late 60s shook Manfredi to his core, and he gave up on the band scene completely, retreating to his family’s music store, and working on music in private, multi-tracking demos of growing prowess on primitive recording equipment.
