Right. After a pause that was longer than anticipated due to some connectivity problems, I'm finally back to share some more metal out of Africa with you. This time, north to Egypt for a prog metal band by the name of Sand Aura, who are based in Cairo. The band was formed in 2007 and feature the talents of Muhammed Hassany on vocals and Shung and Mo'men Reda on guitars. The style is progressive folk metal, but with a decidedly Middle-Eastern flavor. They have one full length release, 'Elegy of the Orient' (2012) to their name. They also appear on the Metality 'Sounds of the Middle East Volume 2' compilation. The videos are audio only. Here's 'Aljahelia'...
and 'The Orphaned Child' parts 1 and 2...
