GENIEWAR is by no doubt the best produced album Arallu ever recorded. The album features full set of Arabic Middle Eastern instruments as: saz, oud, kanoon, darbuka, kongo toms and many other traditional instruments used during the recording and made the album an ensemble of war metal anthems from the gates of Jerusalem.
Although Arallu is not a political band, the band’s mastermind and founder Moti “Butchered” Daniel lives in one of the most dangerous areas of Jerusalem, the (un)holy city, where bloodshed is a usual thing to witness. The tragic reality found a place within the songs, and few of the album tracks as “Hayalim Almonim” and “Tzook Eitan” describe the situation, yet glorify the ones who never surrendered to terror and had the courage to resist fundamentalism.
The album also contains a unique cover version of the classic “Powerslave” by IRON MAIDEN, as Arallu took the song to a completely new direction and with Arabic elements converted Maiden’s classic song to a Middle Eastern sounding tune.
