Metal Of The East

هَلْ غَادَرَ الشُّعَرَاءُ مِنْ مُتَرَدَّمِ
أَمْ هَلْ عَرَفْتَ الدَّارَ بَعْدَ تَوَهُّمِ؟
يَا دَارَ عَبْلَةَ بِالْجَوَاءِ تَكَلَّمِي
وَعِمِّي صَبَاحًا دَارَ عَبْلَةَ وَاسْلَمِي
فَوَقَفْتُ فِي الأَطْلاَلِ أَسْأَلُهَا وَهَلْ
تَرُدُّ جَوَابِي دِمْنَةٌ كَدِمٍ دَمِي؟
خِلاَلِي جَمَالُ الطَّيْفِ فِي كُلِّ مَرْقَبٍ
وَكَيْفَ يَرُوقُ الطَّيْفُ بَيْنَ التَّنَعُّمِ؟
يَا عَبْلَةَ، وَدَّعْتِ الصِّبَا وَتَصَبَّرِي
فَقَدْ عَزَمَ الرُّكْبَانُ أَنْ لا تُلَائِمِي
وَإِنْ تَكُ قَدْ سَاءَتْكِ مِنِّي خَلِيقَةٌ
فَسُلِّي ثِيَابِي مِنْ ثِيَابِكِ تَنْعُمِي
وَلَقَدْ نَزَلْتُ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ مُتَحَلِّلًا
حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا بِالْفَضَاءِ الأَعْظَمِ
وَإِذَا غَضِبْتُ فَإِنَّ غَضْبَتِيَ قَاتِلَةٌ
وَإِذَا رَضِيتُ فَإِنَّنِي مُتَهَضِّمُ

DIGITAL RHIZOME- عنترة إبن شداد meets NU metal

“Lahza” (لحظة) is my debut single — a nostalgic Arabic indie-pop/rock song about holding onto fleeting moments with someone you love.

Inspired by airport goodbyes, rainy walks, and the ache of missing someone, this track blends my Palestinian-Jordanian roots with the sounds I grew up loving — indie rock, pop, and bedroom pop influences.

I’ve been creating mashups and covers online since 2020, and this release marks the start of my original journey as a singer-songwriter and producer.

Whether you understand the lyrics or just feel the vibe, I hope Lahza makes you pause for a second and remember someone who made time feel like it stood still.

Nibriell is the pseudonym under which I sign my musical and literary works. I was born in Romania, a beautiful country in Eastern Europe, but I also live in the UK. For personal reasons and symbolism, the pseudonym is inspired by the names Saint Nicholas (Ni) and Archangel Gabriel (briell). 

     As for my musical activity, I do not define myself through traditional terms such as artist, musician, or composer, but rather as a music creator. This term is much more suitable for my musical activity. I have only one regret: not being born with the talent to sing or possess a musical voice. 

     However, my passions for music and literature have been cultivated with interest throughout my life. With the advent of AI in our lives, it has been very successful in producing high-quality vocalizations, which instantly encouraged me to start creating melodies. 

     Therefore, in my creative workshop, DAW software, music editing, and AI technology are the tools through which I express my vision. By using AI to generate the distinctive voice of my pieces and recreate the sounds specific to traditional or archaic instruments, I bring to life the stories I present to you. 

     My entire creation, from one end to the other, tries to tell a story, whatever it may be. From myths and legends worldwide to stories I create, they are dressed in melodies and harmonies that exceed language and culture, touching a universal chord of human emotion. With each composition, my goal is to open a window to imaginary worlds, inviting the listener to explore ancestral myths, personal narratives, or those already existing worldwide. 

     Using a mix of modern sounds and traditional elements, I aim to create a bridge between the past and the present, between the real and the fantastic, offering the listener an auditory experience and an emotional and spiritual journey.

     So, Nibriell is the pseudonym that unites all these creative sides and expresses the desire to create and the belief that art, in all its forms, is a vehicle for understanding, compassion, and connection among people, regardless of their origins or borders. This is the path I have chosen to follow, one in which every note and word contributes to creating a more extensive work of all humanity, an ode to the beauty and complexity of life.

     Although AI plays an essential and decisive role in my work, it does not define its direction or quality at all. I entirely write the texts and melodic lines, and the voice generated by it is the product of my strict vision and supervision.
