Mamaleek is an American experimental metal group from San Francisco, founded in 2008[1] by two anonymous brothers.
[4] The band has released seven albums, and are signed with the San Francisco-based alternative label The Flenser.
[3] Regarding the band's style and genre, Noisey wrote: "It's black metal, but then again, it isn't; there are massive electronic, jazz, and psychedelic influences, as well as pronounced Middle Eastern inclinations in melody and aesthetic".
[2] Galil said they "mix Middle Eastern song structures and samples, atonal experimental and avant-garde accents, guttural metal howls, accessible electronic breakbeats, sludgy doom metal guitar-work, nimble piano interludes, and plenty of pop panache to create an unrelenting, moving sound".
[5] Band member Eric Alan Livingston died on March 6, 2023, at the age of 38.
