Immortal Pain: Melodic Metal

Formed in 2005, Immortal Pain played a significant role in the Metal scene. Considered a melodic death metal band, their songs involve a lot of screaming accompanied by a tight melodic band rocking their instruments to their limits. Recognized for their stage performance, Immortal Pain was able to get recognition outside the country’s boundaries and even occasionally played in some global music festivals. They, alongside the many other bands founded during the same era, are reshaping Saudi’s music scene and creating avenues for more niche crowds.
