The sands are shifting, the tombs are opening, and somewhere deep beneath the pyramids a blast beat has awakened the gods themselves… because Egyptian death metal destroyers SCARAB have officially unleashed their new EP Transmutation of Fate through Brutal Records 😈⚔️
And honestly, mun… this thing sounds like it was forged inside a cursed temple during the apocalypse.
A New Era Begins For SCARAB 🏺🔥
Since forming back in 2006, SCARAB have become one of the most unique forces in extreme metal. While most death metal bands are busy writing about zombies and chainsaws, SCARAB took things somewhere far darker and far more atmospheric — blending crushing brutality with Egyptian mythology, Middle Eastern textures, spiritual darkness, and cinematic chaos.
The result?
A sound that feels less like an album… and more like a ritual.
Now, with Brutal Records backing the band globally, SCARAB are entering a massive new chapter — and Transmutation of Fate feels like the soundtrack to the end times.
Ancient Riffs, Modern Destruction ⚔️💀
SCARAB’s lineup is an absolute machine of sonic devastation:
- Sammy Sayed — vocals & orchestrations
- Tarek Amr — guitars
- Omar Abou Doma — guitars
- Mohamed El Sherbieny — bass
- Amir El-Saidi — drums
- Sherif Elias — keyboards & synths
Together they create something genuinely massive — a blend of relentless death metal aggression and haunting atmosphere that sounds like Nile fighting demons inside a collapsing pyramid during a thunderstorm. Proper job.
There’s weight to everything SCARAB do. The riffs crush. The orchestration adds this huge cinematic scale. The drums sound like ancient gods kicking down stone walls. And the mystical themes? Absolutely dripping with atmosphere.
This isn’t background music for your commute, butt.
This is “summon the underworld while terrifying your neighbours” music. 🤘🔥
Transmutation of Fate Tracklist 🐍
The new EP features four ritualistic slabs of darkness:
- Vow of the Sphinx (Abo El-Houl)
- Hands from the Sun (Amon)
- Epistle of Secrets (Creators of III)
- Monarch of Violence (Oriasirius)
Each track feels like another chapter in some forbidden metal scripture buried beneath desert sands for thousands of years.
And yes… we are VERY here for it.

SCARAB Speak 🖤
The band had this to say about joining forces with Brutal Records:
“We are very happy to join forces with Brutal Records. This marks a new era for SCARAB, and we are looking forward to what we are going to be putting out to the world through Brutal Records. Let the magick begin!”
And judging by what we’re hearing already… the magick is VERY real.
The Riff Report Verdict 🤘🔥
SCARAB are proving once again that death metal doesn’t need to stay inside one box. Transmutation of Fate sounds ambitious, cinematic, crushing, mystical, and completely unhinged in the best possible way.
This is the kind of release that deserves to be blasted loudly while standing on top of a mountain wearing war paint and shouting at the moon.
With Brutal Records now pushing the band worldwide, don’t be surprised if SCARAB become one of the most talked-about extreme metal names of 2026.
The tomb has opened.
The ritual has begun.
And SCARAB are dragging us all into the darkness with them. 😈🔥🐍
