Najar is a band founded by Noam Najar that incorporates a fusion of Middle Eastern influences, 90s grunge sounds, and modern progressive rock elements. Their music is inspired by artists such as Alice in Chains, Audioslave, and Tool, resulting in a powerful and intricate sound.
All That's Left For Me and the first single Mourn My Inability, are probably my two favourite songs on the album with a classy arrangement, intense vocals and ethnic parts, very interesting and original (again, amazing solos, different in styles but always inspired). Speaking of solos, if you like them you will surely like the instrumental final track, Fuel Tank, a good compromise between melody and technical skills, which remotely reminds me of Joe Satriani.
If you are a fan of all the bands I mentioned in this review (but with an intricate twist, especially in the last part of the album) you should listen to Cycles Of Light, a very well written, performed and produced debut with a great performance by the band and very cool songs.
