It is a melodic a cappella hymn, in which the lyrics discuss about bloodshed and war.
The chant was produced by the Ajnad Foundation, with the recitation of the vocalist Abu Yassir, the most well known vocalist of the group. Salil al-Sawarim is among the best known IS nasheeds. It appeared in IS' fourth installment of the Salil al-Sawarim video series, which among other things contain medleys of executions, and was published by Al-Furqan Foundation.
Due to the chant being related to terrorism, it is commonly removed from popular music and video platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube or justpaste.it.
