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.
