Benevolent
Benevolent is an extreme metal band that was formed in early 2007, and is based in Kuwait.
The band was formed by brothers Hadi and Fadi Sarieddine who take on Guitars/Vocals and
Vocals duties respectively. Benevolent’s sound comprises a number of elements including
growled and clean vocals, polyrhythmic beats, progressive nuances, and atmospheric sound
layers. Additionally, the brothers cite bands such as Meshuggah, Tool, and Dream Theater as
their primary influences.
Benevolent is currently in the studio working on their debut EP release, which is scheduled
for release in the fall of 2010, two tracks from the album titled “Augmented†and “Haunting
Shores†are available for streaming on the band’s official Myspace page. (Check below links)
