I would be happy to help although I'm not an expert on the topic I'll do my best
I personally know a lot of Syrian metalheads and Arab metalheads in general even in places like Saudi. A lot of young people live in constant frustration because of the conditions in this part of the world and the oppression and all that sh*t and so of course music is a great distraction/outlet. I personally do not listen to a lot of Arabic metal. I prefer Arabic indie rock, pop, some rap and arab revolution music. A lot of great music came with the Arab Spring.
Here's a list of all the Syrian metal bands from Damascus and Aleppo:
From Damascus:
The Night
Abidetherein
Blackspell
Anarchadia
Absentation
Buried by the Last Tragedy
Dark Promise
Despair
Despond Womb
Ecliptic Dawn
Eulen
Funeral Moonlight
Innzmouth
Laxsid
Netherion
Nokturnal Forest
Sarcophagus
Aleppo:
Chaos
Crescent Moon
Nu.Clear.Dawn
Orion
Theoria
That's all. a lot of those bands probably suck, I have no idea what most of them sound like.
I don't know if this was what you wanted but feel free to ask me anything
