Culturally influenced Metal

[metal_wrath]

Of course there is a huge European Folk influence prevalent in Metal. There is a lot of Middle Eastern and Egyptian influenced Metal and a lot of East Asian sounding Metal. Other than those what are some other interesting cultural styles?

I think a lot of bands are culturally influenced, Primordial being the first that pops into my head.

Instead of changing the subject and pointing out that my wording was off, point out my folly and then list these bands that are influenced by middle eastern/egyptian thematics.

Do not list Rudra or Orphaned Land

Instead of misquoting my post and misunderstanding the point I was making try not to be totally retarded.

Bands influenced by Egyptian or Middle Eastern cultural music:

Arkan
Nile
Melechesh
Orphaned Land

Rudra contains Indian cultural elements. India is not in the Middle East genius.

Cultural music...you mean folk music?

 

[Cythraul]

I think he means Peruvian pan flutes.

 

[Einherjar86]

Do not list Orphaned Land

Orphaned Land

What about Orphaned Land?

 

[waif]

He's a rebel who plays by his own rules.

 

[Einherjar86]
