Orphaned Land
One of a few Israeli metal bands,
Orphaned Land play slow-to-mid-paced death metal, with the
occasional nod to their homeland in the form of some interesting
Middle Eastern-sounding melodies, giving them a bit more
diversity than many in their field.
After two albums in the mid-nineties, the band was not heard from
for some time, but their long awaited third album,
Mabool ,
has finally been released, to stellar reviews thus far.
