Al-Namrood () is a Saudi Arabian black metal band. The name means "Nimrod", a biblical figure and Babylonian king, which the group chose as a form of defiance against religion. The members are anonymous since their identification could lead to punishment of death from Saudi Arabian authorities.Chester, Nick.
