Khalas are a Palestinian Israeli-Arab Oriental metal band, formed in 1999. The name of the band means "enough" in Arabic.[1]

In 2013, the band embarked on a tour across Europe along with Israeli band Orphaned Land, an event which brought coverage to the band in Western media, in outlets such as The Guardian[2] and CNN.[3]

Arabic Language

In the Arabic language, 'Khalas' is also a frequently used term to say 'It's enough'. It is many a times, used to put a stop to a discussion as 'Khalas now'.
