Seeds of Iblis is a suspected Iraqi black metal band.
history
The band was allegedly founded in Iraq in 2011 and is part of the small scene of Arab metal bands that deal critically with Islam. Allegedly two women and two men are currently playing in the band. All pictures that are supposed to show members of the band are fakes or come from other bands, which is why there are doubts whether the band really comes from Iraq. The band struggled to find a label for their EP, but are now signed to Unmerciful Death Productions. In 2012, Younes and Yousef were replaced by Jebrael and Mohammad. Nothing is known about the true identity of the band members.
Music style and ideology
Seeds of Iblis play raw black metal influenced by Arabic music. They give Venom , Bathory , Mayhem and Slayer as influences . In contrast to many other black metal bands who process anti-Christian themes in their lyrics, Seeds of Iblis deal with anti-Islamic motifs. In addition, a kind of Islamic Satanism is taken up, some texts praise Iblis , a demon ( Shaitan ) mentioned in the Koran, who fell away from God .
