Ahl Sina are an international band with members from Egypt, Germany and The united States that plays a mixture of Middle Eastern folk music, Progressive and extreme metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Troops Of Pain".
Ethnic style chanting starts off the album along with some middle eastern folk instruments which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length. Acoustic guitars can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
Clean vocals are also used quite a bit throughout the recording as well as the music also getting very progressive sounding at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while the music also has its symphonic moments. Death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording.
Spoken word parts are also added into some parts of the music while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them. When percussion is utilized it also gives the music more of a ritualistic feeling as well as some high pitched black metal screams also being added into some parts of the tracks.
A great amount of melody can also be heard in the guitar riffing and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats are added onto the recording along with the songs also getting more diverse as the album progresses along with the music incorporating more stringed instruments. the production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics are a concept album that revolves around the history of humanity's conflicts.
In my opinion Ahl Sina are a very great sounding mixture of oriental, middle eastern fol music, progressive and extreme metal and if you are looking for something very original, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Gift" "Miracle To Demise" and "Troops of Pain". 8 out of 10.
