Therefore, here is my question: Where are all the metal songs dealing with the Middle East? Specifically, Babylonian, Persian, Ancient Hebrew, I suppose Ancient Egypt, and similar such cultures.
I'd like songs dealing with the mythologies of those cultures specifically.
Also, are there any metal songs dealing with Russian folklore?
