They're a band called "Wrust". Not a bad song at all, kinda reminds me of early Sepultura. I always love hearing metal bands from around the world, especially from places you don't normally occosiate with metal.

prolly wrong but I think I hear some african rhythms where it goes into the 3 beat section or something to that effect in the verses which is nice

Not too bad, but if your interested in metal from unusual countries check out this site:

It's a fairly solid list of bands from all over europe.

That's a great word. I reckon it would fit into a metal band/album name really well "Occosiate The Insane" or "Occosiate Incarnate" or something .

There's definitely bass there but it probably could do with being a little more pronounced in the mix.

theres a band from Iraq called 'Accrusidia' or something like that. They played on top of a hotel in the middle of Baghdad the night gulf war 2 started, mentallers.

Theres 'Aggro' from South Africa, they're a bit sh1t to be honest.

During the 80s Nigeria started to export more and more oil, this meant more countries were sending more diplomatic staff to the country in order to strenghten trade links. The kids of these diplomats started their own metal scene! I read about it in the 'Bang your head' book- but havent heard anything about it since.

Metal is the most multicultural of all rock music types.

Seeing this thread reminded me of another Botswana death metal band Crackdust

They seem pretty decent
