It would totally work, though, no?

There's a list on MySpace of "oriental/arabic metal" groups -- http://groups.myspace.com/orientalmetal -- though I kind of dig the label "bellymetal", which I hadn't encountered before but rather wish I had. :)  The genre seems heavy on death/black metal groups ... but I totally see a space in which psychedelically tinged doom, underlain by Alan's surging bass lines, could play ....  Well, in that charmingly alternate universe, anyway!

Cheers,
Carl
