In middle school islamic class, they actually used the album cover one time as an example of worshippers of the devil and then we were told that the members did convert back to islam but of course this was sugarcoated as there was no mention of joining extremist groups. As a person who was outed as an ex-muslim I had to quickly react and announce that I simply had doubts and reconverted back to islam, otherwise I risked jail time, thankfully not execution, in my country (Kuwait). So Im just throwing it out there that the whole reconverting to islam thing could be a self defense thing as this is definitely not unheard of here and I know plenty of closeted ex-muslims, some who were outed and some who weren't.

Pretty sure Lebanon does not have very strictly enforced rules about apostasy. I suspect they're just busy trying to survive the complete collapse of the nations economy.
Really fucking weird world we live in...I didn't ever understood why can't most muslims stand the fact that following religion is a choice..not a necessity..I live in India... there's very much freedom for muslims...even though muslims are the minority here..the most close minded people I come across are generally my neighbours and other muslims...my parents don't force me towards religion but still sometimes they get clingy...I can't openly tell them that I don't get interest in religious activities (at least as of now).. because even if they don't anything they will tell other people around me and they will start seeing me like I'm a criminal of some sort...I know that doesn't sound extreme compared to other countries but for a teenager it would be hell to become an outcast just for your personal feelings..
Wow I can’t believe people are still talking about Damaar. The drummer was my best mate in school and we grew up together. I was close friends with the band. It was a 3 man band. The vocalist/bassist was the drummer’s brother and guitarist a friend of ours. I was there when the album was recorded in a small room in an underground pub under the pavilion hotel in Beirut. I did come to Australia with the drummer and the vocalist back in 2009. The guys did take a different path and went back to Lebanon in 2010. I stayed in Sydney till this day. We lost touch but I still sometimes listen to “preaching for MAss suicided at the gym”.. just for that extra push. 🙂 If someone gets in touch with Tex, tell him “drink and be merry”.. Me, him and another guy inked those word on our forearm back in 2006 during the Israel Lebanon war. And I haven’t seen him since! Ok I actually wrote this comment before I listened to the whole video. I can confirm they did not start a punk band or any band in Australia. Only the brothers came to Australia . The guitarist stayed in Lebanon. Nightchains was created by Tex and the brothers. If the drummer ever comes across this comment.. hit me up bro. I would love to reconnect. Whatever happened before is water under the bridge. Cheers.
That's because the metal scene was actually composed of a lot of the same people from the punk scene in Lebanon. The guitarist from detox and nightchains (a punk and thrash/heavy metal band) was close friends with them and I think some members of damaar were members in nightchains. The gamblers were also a punk band that was in the same scene. Sadly the punk scene here is dead and the underground metal scene is also pretty dead
@@patrickbertlein4626 Listen to stuff like Spazz, Infest, and Charles Bronson. Powerviolence is basically even faster and more aggressive hardcore punk.
@@patrickbertlein4626 Powerviolence is basically metallic hardcore mixed with grindcore. Also the lyrics are more aggressive and negative than your average hardcore-band.
This demo actually broke me into black metal. Wouldn't be a black metal fan if my old roommate hadn't shown it to me ten years ago. Still my favourite, too
Damaar’s only album still stands as one of my favorite metal albums I can think from on the top of my head. Thanks for introducing me to this iconic album.
Always happy to hear you talk about Damaar, not many people know of them and especially not here in Lebanon, it's still a very overly religious country unfortunately. I wish I had any more info than you do on any of the members, personally my biggest guesses as a Lebanese person are that they either immigrated to Australia like you mentioned, or possibly Canada which is another country that a lot of Lebanese people immigrate to, or they could still be in Lebanon. I can't imagine any of the members reconverting into Islam (assuming they were Muslim to begin with, I don't remember if that was confirmed or not) mostly because it just makes no sense from any point of view. This is all just me going on a small rant so I don't really have any hard evidence to add, just my insight as a Lebanese person living in Lebanon. Thanks for covering Damaar again, hope more people check them out
I generally find war metal to be a fairly uninteresting genre (for my tastes) but this demo is fucking fantastic. You can’t replicate it’s authenticity.
That has to be one of the coolest vinyls I've ever seen in any form of visual media, not really about the artwork or the music but just the entire story behind it.
I've been doing a lot of research on the metal scene in Beirut for a personal game project. The first chapter in "Rock in a Hard Place: Music and Mayhem in the Middle East" by Orlando Crowcroft talks about Ayat and Damaar with quotes from Filthy Fuck and the creator of Damaar (in case you haven't checked that out yet)! I found it really interesting to hear how many of the members in the scene ended up joining extreme religious groups. Tex (the third non-Damaar member of Nightchains) seems to be connected with all of these groups as well as creating/performing in some other bands such as 'The Gamblers', 'D.I.Y.', and a punk band called Detox. He also helped record/produce another Lebanese thrash metal band's first demo Thrash Storm (according to their old myspace page). I believe he is still active in some way or another and most likely would be able to provide answers, however, there is definitely a deliberate lack of information about all of these groups for safety reasons.
I don't think it's that surprising that these people ended up joining extreme religious groups. I say that solely because I think these extreme groups aren't really about religion at all, they prey on young people with a lot of rage and hate in them, which is exactly what a lot of these artists express, they just relocated that rage elsewhere when being manipulated by these groups.
The thrill of listening to these bands knowing it'll be over for you if caught! Especially the ones in Arabic, like Al-Namrood, which I recommend if you're not aware of.
If you ever need any direct translation from Arabic within the extreme metal context, I'm your guy. That Arabic word pronounced "fusq" which can mean disobedience but only within the context of Islamic Sharia not in politics. P.s. love this band.
Hello, great video about damaar, I'm from Lebanon and I was very involved in the metal/punk scene (although not around the same time when damaar was active) but I met Tarek aka Tex the guitarist of nightchains he was playing with a hardcore punk band at the time called angry farmers and he confirmed the rumors about Heathen and Napalm that they have indeed reverted back to Islam and even became Muslim clerics, years later I found out that a cousin of mine have also met safa aka Nunrider the guitarist of damaar he also confirmed this and he is now living in the UK, it's also a very well known fact in the Lebanese underground... Also Ayat is pretty much done Filthy fuck relocated to Canada and teaches at a school or college and the other half of Ayat mullah sadogoat sadly died of either an OD or suicide, the rest of the black metal bands from Lebanon aren't even worth looking in too but Id advise you to check Thrashstorm and Detox (female fronted hardcore crust punk band formed by Tex after breaking up nightchains) both are from the same area in beirut where damaar originated
i hope they repress this one day. the genuine feelings of unadulterated rage coming from a region that's been in perpetual war for decades is harrowingly profound to say the least. While i dont think their situation was what made them good musicians, the music becomes much more moving knowing its not some european suburbanite
@@Guadalajara1937 This is true. Our nations and cultures are being destroyed in a silent war. Just because we arnt being bombed doesn't mean we arent under attack.
This is a bit misleading, the odds are that if they’re Christian Lebanese they’d be much closer to some European suburbanite than you’d think. Lebanon is in a horrible shitty situation but let’s not orientalize this into believing that the band members recorded this album with bullets zipping over their heads.
War metal is admittedly not my thing, but this band's story and mystery is intriguing. Nice Negative Plane shirt! Have you listened to their new album yet?
Thoroughly enjoying both bands via the links you provided. Although it's a shame getting ahold of a copy of the Damaar ep can prove tricky and expensive, the silver lining for me is that Ayat's stuff is much easier to find and at much cheaper prices. Some of which is probably the responsibility of Moribund not being all that great of a label and alot of their releases end up in the bargain bin. Well, as they say one man's trash....
There's a band called Heathen Beast which is a black metal/grindcore band from India (my country), and their music is also basically in the same lane as Anaal Nathrakh. The lyricism are basically direct, in your face disses at our current government, extremism and dark side of human culture. The vocalist, akin to Damaar's sounds pretty hateful and it can be sensed very well within the tone that the vocalist sounds extremely pissed.
@@noosehangingtight The inclusion of media footages samples within their music is commendable which really gives an idea what the song is gonna be about.
Heathen beast rules Reminds me of Anaal Nathrakh is some ways I had their music playing once in a vinyl collection part …. I just don’t know exactly which part it was haha
i used to know a guy (im from lebanon) who introduced me to damaar and other mysterious lebanese bands and he was one of the first guys to illegally bring black metal records to leb but unfortunately i have lost conact with him, if somehow i was able to talk to him i would ask him about damaar
it blew me away when I first heard it as a fan of extreme music. The anger and agression feels a lot more real than war metal bands from the west. A lot of other bands seem like they are trying hard to be as over the top and as cartoonishly evil as possible. (not that that is necessarilt a bad thing)
To be honest, that theory about these 2 guys reverted/converted to Islam can be kind of plausible too because I've seen several cases like that like bashing Islam baselessly then finally, accepting it. It's somewhat common in Islamic nations with young people (some don't convert back to Islam). However, I still think it sounds very superficial. 2nd half of paragraph, is consistently structured in a reductionist manner which tells me that someone was probably aware of "converted back to Islam" cases and used it as a rumour to add more enigmas. I definitely can see why would they relocate to Australia and decided to release their album for financial reasons.
Music means freedom. Theres several genres that speak about taboo subjects. Thats real music for me. Real real music. This one that could make you being killed. The music that talks about real things related to the deepest corridors of the human experience and existence. That's why I secretly despise some genres. That's why I like black metal so much.
You going to the upcoming Negative Plane show? What are your thoughts on Machine Girl and Neptunian Maximalism? Have you also any chance tried Godkiller - The End Of The World and Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Altered States Of America?
I second this, I really REALLY wanna know more about them, have since I heard the Reek split, something about them felt so similar to Damaar, the hatred is comparable.
i doubt it. the lebanese government hasnt used capital punishment since 2004 (and damaar did was not an executable offence) and al queada isnt as militant in the region.
Someone correct me...i thought black metal was strictly about Satanism or Anti-religion. But on this channel i have encountered so many bands that reference none of those topics are still considered black metal. Why is this?
