Brutal death metal band Nephelium formed more than ten years ago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Although they have long since relocated to Canada, they never left their roots far behind, as is apparent from the music they create, which blends technical death metal with exotic Middle Eastern melodies and flavors. Their debut LP Coils of Entropy is scheduled to be self-released in just over a week (7 February 2012), but as an appetizer they have served up samples of all the songs, including one full song you can download for free!

The video embedded below features a stream of all the song samples, but you can also listen to them individually via Bandcamp. The Nephelium Bandcamp page is also where you can find a free download of the second song from the album, “Merciless Annihilation” — or if you’re lazy you can just check out the widget directly beneath the video stream.

If you like what you hear, stay tuned for the album release, and keep an eye on either the band’s Facebook page, or Reverbnation, for more news and information.
