Al-Namrood

Al-Namrood (Arabic: النمرود) is a Saudi Arabian black metal band. The name means "Nimrod", a Babylonian king, and the group chose the name as a form of defiance against religion. The members are anonymous since their identification could lead to punishment of death from Saudi Arabian authorities.[1][2][3][4]
