SCARAB Unleashes Transmutation of Fate
Brutal Records unleashes Transmutation of Fate, the new EP from Egypt’s legendary death metal force SCARAB. With this release, the band enters a new chapter under its global alliance with the iconic American label. As a result, SCARAB launches a devastating new era. Brutal Records now drives the band’s ancient sonic incantations through its international network.
The Rise of SCARAB in Egyptian Death Metal
SCARAB formed in 2006 and quickly earned a reputation for ferocity, atmosphere, and spiritual intensity. Over the years, the band refined a sound that stands apart. Moreover, SCARAB fuses uncompromising death metal with Middle Eastern and Egyptian mysticism. Because of this approach, the music creates a ritualistic experience that transcends borders, cultures, and belief systems. Crushing riffs collide with cinematic orchestrations. Meanwhile, relentless aggression channels ancient mythology into modern extreme metal.
Lineup and Sonic Identity
Sammy Sayed leads the band on vocals and orchestrations. Alongside him, Tarek Amr and Omar Abou Doma command the guitars. Mohamed El Sherbieny anchors the sound on bass. At the same time, Amir El-Saidi drives the music forward with punishing drums. Sherif Elias expands the sonic landscape on keyboards and synths. Together, SCARAB pushes its mythology further with a sound that remains both brutal and transcendent.
A Ritualistic EP with Global Impact
Each track functions as a ceremonial invocation. In particular, the band blends fearless precision with deep atmospheric layers. Therefore, the EP reinforces SCARAB’s role as pioneers of Egyptian extreme metal on a global scale.
Statement from SCARAB
“We are very happy to join forces with Brutal Records. This marks a new era for SCARAB, and we are looking forward to what we are going to be putting out to the world through Brutal Records. Let the magick begin!”
