style

The lyrics are about the life experiences of the musicians. The band plays metalcore , some of which contains elements of oriental music . Techno elements are also audible in some of the group's songs . The band names Avenged Sevenfold , Blessthefall and Asking Alexandria as musical influences . Ali Atef from Jorzine compares the group to the Japanese from Blood Stain Child .

Most of the texts are in English, but some are also in Arabic . While the band has built a steadily growing fan base in Arab countries, the band's music is largely ignored in Western countries. In the Islamic nations, which also include the states of the Arabian Peninsula , Western music is considered "frowned upon". For example, bands that play this kind of music are only allowed to give concerts under strict state regulations. Since the band's former bass player was once arrested, the band hardly gave any concerts in their own country.
