    Artist: Shades of Black
    Song: Part 1: Aperto (0-1:36)
    Song: Part 2: Leviathan
    Album: 10 Fall
    This is a three part song i wrote which took a lot of time and effort composing. First, the traditional sounding yet modern flavor arabic part. Second, jumps straight into a metal piece using the same scale. The third part i did not put in due to the video's length already. If any questions or you feel like commenting feel free to do so, i would love to hear what you think.

    People use the "Egyptian scale" so much in metal, especially in solos, and it is a very recognizable and popular thing--it is so unfortunate that they don't trace it back to the source and find more music like this. Beautifully done. I wish I could convince my friend to write music too.

      Stephen Harvey it's because it's based on the scales like the Phrygian dominant, Egyptian and Byzantine scales which are very present in metal today. The feeling of tragedy, mystery, and power, and energy seem to come with these scales. Truly fascinating stuff.

    • @8393Robertrex

      Classical spanish and arabic guitar all focus heavily on finger picking. Precision and long but fast riffs
      Its almost a one to one copy of what we see today in metal. Theres just a lot more strumming in the lead now, usually youd never strum in classical style.

      And before that the Arabs got the idea for the "kittara" (later became the guitar) from the Indian sitar. But Indian music was too peaceful so they introduced the element of mystery into it and then it went on to spain where the element of passion and flamenco evolved. Amazing how music evolves and changes as it goes. Truly music is like an everchanging river taking the elements it has collected with it. over time.

      Arabs were present in Spain circa 711-1492. That's almost 800 years. It must have had a huge impact on spanish culture. Although, over the centuries, they pulled from the north, so that influence is most probably more intensely present in the South. Maybe, you, as a hispanic person, are a bit more able to relate to arab culture due to the aforementioned arab influence on Spanish culture.
      Although, metal and oriental melodies might just go together well.

      Isslam Abdelhadi I guess it's just playing the instruments themselves then, my mistake.
      I mentioned metal because it has often been characterized by religious folks as the "devil's music" because of the blasphemous and degenerate lyrics, and as you know blasphemy is forbidden in all religions.
      Instrumental is fine though I presume.

    this is BEAUTIFUL. great job man this is the music that I hope to be able to make one day. I love the harmonic minor along with the Phrygian dominant and melodic minor. their hard as hell to learn but I think about making this type of music as my motivation.
