I was just scrolling down to the comment section to make some jokes about the "Iron Maiden" vox but saw your comment first and... damn dude... good on you and happy trails! \m/
I live in France and became friends with a few Lebanese people and guess what... I love them all, they're great people, most of them are students between 19 and 25yo (I'm 33) and we really enjoy eachother's company, I learned a lot from them and they learned a lot from me. I really don't understand why some people refuse to treat immigrants as equal, we're all fucking human beings, it drives me crazy when people just won't understand that under the skin color and beyond our respective cultures, we're all the same.
Two of the Damaar members were also in a speed Metal band called Nightchains, if you’ve not heard it I would highly recommend, it’s one of my all time favorite metal projects
As someone who lives in Lebanon and has been in the scene for a while now,I was extremely happy to see that it's getting it's due for once, but i was really hoping to see some more of our bands being shown, bands like EDEN, DEATHTONE and PHENOMY, regardless of my personal opinion towards these bands, they're definitely a must listen! Thank you again for the great reviews!!
@@KAOTEON No problem. As a non-Arab, I find Levantine culture really interesting and I wish well for the region. I know Lebanon and other Levantine have so much to offer culturally. Yet all most people experience is crap in Europe. According to my Bulgarian acquaintance, Beirut has the best ice cream she's eaten. And this woman has travelled Italy!
Please don't stop this until you run out of ideas. Great to see something being in done "Global Metal" spirit, you really bring something else to the table :)
That would be cool the only French Black Metal band that I know it's Peste Noire (Alcest right now it's somethin like BLack Gaze) and if there are more French Balck Metal bands as good as Peste Noire that video will be good.
Great to see you doing these shows. Focussing on the metal scene in a particular country. I do the same on my radio show at metal messiah radio. And i discovered some real treasures by doing that.
Shout out to Ostura. They're not an extreme metal band -- more of a prog-power sound ala Symphony X -- but they're from Lebanon and have two albums. Their second album, The Room, was released this year and it's one of my top 5 albums of the year. Highly recommend
It would be interesting to see a bands Spotify following before and after your reviews especially on global as these bands would be mostly unknown to us
do something on the yugoslavian metal scene, if possible. i don't know too much myself, but there is a band called Psychoparadox and i consider their album "Apeiron" one of my favorite melodic death releases, and it'd be cool if more people outside of serbia than just me knew about it lol.
Just bought that Damage Rite album on iTunes, thanks for turning me onto another awesome band Banger. The riffs on that album make me want to rip a concrete building apart with my hands.
Horns up for the Lebanese scene! Will definitely give plenty of the mentioned records a spin. Isreali prog metal scene (Scardust, Winterhorde, Soul Enema, Infy, Soul Torture,...) next, please!
Ayat is one of my favorite band's from Lebanon. They're so perverse. Also they sound like a black metal version of Ministry. Wish the guys would get back together and make a new album.
I come from Lebanon and i was in the metal for a while, there are few other bands worth mentioning aswell such as Oath To Vanquish, weeping willow and kimaera check them out!
Cool concept!! Metal is definitely a universal language that unites across countless cultural lines. I hope you guys do Peru sometime. I have a lifelong metalhead buddy of Peruvian extraction, and he would truly flip out over that. \m/ \m/
I'm watching these and keep wandering if they'll ever do a Portugal metal scene. Then I realise that we don't have many known bands besides Moonspell but still keeps me wandering...
I'm a Lebanese headbanger since I was 10. That is from 1985. And trust me Blayne. We have many good bands since 80s and before. But too bad the war and the situation in Lebanon won't let u fulfill what you dream of in the music industry. Many bands would release an album and then everyone is looking for the good life to live making money. We all love a hard life in Lebanon, yet we have amazing talents and a big metal scene.
I fucking love Ayat. SOOO glad to get to see these guys get some exposure. I wish I had something more articulate to say about it. But I just can't believe they're getting recognition. I'm just so excited for them. I'm sad to see Al-Namrood didn't get any love. Saudi black metal band out there kickin ass and takin names. My vote for where next is the Netherlands just to see Oathbreaker.
Did not expect this. Do French black (and avant-garde black metal) metal scene or the Polish one. Or the UK one! These are just options for black metal heheh
Great idea exploring the world! Damaar was good. A country for your future consideration: Hungary's tiny with a decent amount of good, varied, death, thrash and power metal bands.
Wow I'm surprised as hell that the Lebanese government allows this. Man I really understand the hate. Slave to Sirens sound great! These bands have balls!
would love to see: Belgian post/sludge metal scene with bands like Amenra, Wiegedood, Steak Number eight, Raketkanon, Oathbreaker, Black Heart Rebellion, Briqueville,... Polisch doom/stoner: Weedpecker, Belzebong, Dopelord, Spaceslug, Gravity eater, Major Kong, Stonerror Greek stoner: Naxatras, planet of zeus, tuber, 1000mods,...
It would be cool if you guys covered Azerbaijan. I legit don’t know if there are any other metal bands from there besides Violet Cold but that band/dude is incredible.
You missed The Weeping Willow. They have just broken up but they've got 4 solid albums and they had been around for 20 years. 😋 Other good bands that are no longer operational but have impacted the extreme metal scene are Void and Oath to Vanquish. Check them out.
As a person of Lebanese descent, that makes me very happy. Good on you Banger. \m/

Likewise and indeed.
Brazilian Thrash Metal or Mexican Brutal Death Metal would be awesome!
I love these series so much, keep on the great work, Banger Staff.
Just came to check if they included Damaar. I'm very pleased.
Sad that no Nightchains
Great to see you doing these shows. Focussing on the metal scene in a particular country. I do the same on my radio show at metal messiah radio. And i discovered some real treasures by doing that.
Right on! Awesome seeing such a unique scene getting some attention!
Malaysian Gov cheers
can u guys do polish blackmetal
Darkness & Death \m/
Behemoth and Behemoth....and Behemoth. 😂🤣
Mgła, Batushka, Wędrujący Wiatr, Furia, Thy Worshiper, Kriegsmashine. All of those are great black metal bands from Poland.
gotta watch out for the nsbm bands tho
Yea behemoth
I'd love to see a review of Warrel Dane - Shadow Work. RIP Warrel you are greatly missed!
That Blakyuum clip was awesome. It sounded like Bobby Leibling singing in a hardcore band!
Al Namrood is a great Saudi band that y'all should check out! Also you guys are doing a great job on this series!
Yes to this. Big YES.
(also, Znous from Tunisia although it's not as extreme as Al Namrood)

Melechesh's last album is Enki
Huge fan of that band here. \m/
Damn, Kaoteon provides some truly crazy vocals. That guy is going nuts and I love it!
Calhambeque he is nuts
Have you heard Bethlehem - Dictius te necare, insane vocals!
I loved this video and love this series :) Thanks Banger! 👍
Slave to Sirens is on Spotify! So good!
Basically most the bands in this video are on Spotify... Glad you are enjoying
Listened to ayat - six years of dormant hatred, it's a masterpiece...thanks for all the good work finding these gems
Greek Stoner would be good.
Yes! doom metal/stoner is pretty popular in Greece
Naxatras?
Stonila?
M.Sphinx all stoner is good
very true. Greece is on top of their game now in the stoner genre. Naxatras, planet of zeus, tuber, 1000mods,...
Glad you added Slave To Sirens great band they were Band Of The Month on my Radio station
I am loving this series! Would love to see an episode on Poland or Spain!
do something on the yugoslavian metal scene, if possible.

So happy to discover some great Lebanese bands! I was definitely impressed by Slave To sirens! These girls are fierce!
I love how you're starting to do more coverage of the extreme stuff! More needed pls, lol, black or death.
🇱🇧🇱🇧🤘❤🤘 I'm glad our local scene is finally being truely recognized
Slave to Sirens...thanks, I love female screamers. I just looked at some live footage of them in Beruit; really good.
Horns up for the Lebanese scene! Will definitely give plenty of the mentioned records a spin.
Isreali prog metal scene (Scardust, Winterhorde, Soul Enema, Infy, Soul Torture,...) next, please!
Thanks for the suggestion. We did a prog episode already this round of Overkill Global but it's a great idea for season 2!
There cannot be too much prog :-P
Really looking forward ot all future episodes, by the way.
Its great to hear metal sound from different country, 🤘
Nice, never heard of any of these. Thanks!
Good shit I never thought I'd hear this coming out of Lebanon
BL00D_R31GN 86 stop by to hear more
Melechesh! Love the shout out!
Looking forward to the episode on metal from India, especially the scene in Kolkata (Tetragrammacide, Aparthiva Raktadhara, Chinnamasta, etc.)
Now that's a worthy episode!
The Damage Rite album reminded me of The Aura by Beyond Creation
Ayat is one of my favorite band's from Lebanon. They're so perverse. Also they sound like a black metal version of Ministry. Wish the guys would get back together and make a new album.
as a guy from the middle east i totally agree, Ayat did that insane album but sadly it was it, nevertheless one hell of a band
I come from Lebanon and i was in the metal for a while, there are few other bands worth mentioning aswell such as Oath To Vanquish, weeping willow and kimaera check them out!
Cool concept!! Metal is definitely a universal language that unites across countless cultural lines. I hope you guys do Peru sometime. I have a lifelong metalhead buddy of Peruvian extraction, and he would truly flip out over that. \m/ \m/
We have a huge metal scene in Bangladesh too. Like, Severe Dementia, Trainwreck (performed in Wacken too!) Wish see them featured in here too!
I'm watching these and keep wandering if they'll ever do a Portugal metal scene. Then I realise that we don't have many known bands besides Moonspell but still keeps me wandering...
There was no mention of the band Cimmerian Path which was around earlier than the bands mentioned

I guess Egypt has both a power metal and death metal scene. Could maybe cover one or both of those
I wish the Nervecell album got a proper review. Such a great band.
Crescent rocks!! Hails from Egypt
killer episode! thank you
kaleb hall thanks
Check out a Lebanese band called Oath to vanquished
have you got any link please ?
I would like to see your guys oppion on the sub genre "DSBM", cause I love that sub genre ;)
There's great music everywhere! That shouldn't be surprising.

Next scene - Czech thrash metal or grindcore...please! Ask Curby that makes Obscene Extreme.
Czech grindcore scene deserve a whole documentary
Thrash also...Our scene is blowing up! Laid To Waste...Exorcizphobia...Lahar...just to name a few.
