Maysaloon are a death metal band formed in Damascus, Syria by Jake Shuker in 2015 and now based in Germany. Their music is a defiant response to the horrors of the Syrian war, echoing bands such as Death, Dissection, Entombed, and Necrophobic in addition to Middle Eastern folkloric music, but with a distinct extreme Syrian death metal identity.
Maysaloon performed live in Syria countless times, often under the bombs, and opened for Destruction and Decapitated at the Beirut Metal Fest in 2018 after releasing their debut album The Forgotten Dawn in 2017.
