    No idea.

    However. Can you post a youtube link with a song of theirs, and point out exactly what you mean? As in "This part 2 minutes into the song"? Then I'd probably have an idea.

    first 00:12 seconds of Toxcity/Aerials

    It's kind of hard to explain, I love music and have been playing accoustic guitar 10 years and really admire melodic riffs like the basic mid-eastern soundplucking only to be seen in some of this bands music. Actually I can't stand the 90% of System Of A Down's music, but its the only band I've seen producing this type of sound using a wide range of instruments, including electric mandolins, sitars, 12-string guitars and Middle Eastern ouds.
    Do you know of similar artist?

    :confused:

    I'm going to guess that he is looking for eastern sounding music which would make you think of "Islamic" music. The bling refers to the sound of the instruments/music, not the usual sense of bling.

    For what it's worth, most music using a phyrgian scale will sound "eastern". Beyond that, I can't help.

    RELAX, I know I messed up the thread title abit and my silly use of the word 'bling' has now made me look a bit silly:o

    I went on to explain in my second post how only a small portion of SOAD's music sounds mid-eastern.

    Im just wondering if anyone knows of a decent mid-eastern sound heavy metal/rock band is all.

    I like the sound of Islamic and Mid-Eastern music...seriously, if you could just accept that I just explained that I know I messed up the thread title(As this has nothing todo with religeon and Islam). There really was no need for you to post and tell me that you think I dont have a clue.;)
