Ra Al Dee Experience – Diatessaron (2017, Germany)
Our next spotlight is on number 556 on The List, submitted by Almoehi.
Once of numerological/occult death metal band Necros Christos, this is Mors Al Ra’s[1] experimental acoustic project with Ben Al Dee,[2] a former guitar student of Al Ra’s who had also guested as a percussionist on a couple Necros Christos albums. The music is heavily influenced by classical Persian and Indian music, as well as prog, and is primarily instrumental. Apparently the album was recorded live with just a few overdubs (a second guitar line and some additional percussion, e.g., tabla), which is impressive for this being just a duo – it sounds much bigger!
I’m not familiar with Necros Christos myself, but a Bandcamp comment notes that Diatessaron is like a collection of interludes for that band, so perhaps check them out if you like this (and vice versa).
