Not 1. Calling your attention to the album and project Baghdad Heavy Metal (myspace link), which I just came across this week. It posits itself as a wartime crossing of paths, but in reality it seems to be a one-off by some musicians associated with travelling troupe "Bellydance Superstars": Steven Last (keys/prog) of Galactic Caravan, Steve Hunter (guitar) of Lou Reed's band, and percussionist Issam Houshan, along with a rotating cast of guest vocalists (including Sammy Hagar). Overall sound is a lot like Rachid Taha's rock crossover, and the album sounds like its auditioning for incidental music on an HBO miniseries. But I don't have a problem with that. Special commendation for "Blue Sky Goodbye" (featured at the myspace), as vocalist Woroud is very good in a Natacha Atlas overdub emphatic mode.

Quite a lot of metal sounds a bit Middle Eastern to my ears, maybe because of a propensity for minor keys?

This is not western rock, but it is rock, which means it is sort of western, and it is not Arab.
