Mabool is the name of the album. The band is Orphaned Land. You can read my description above and read the reviews in the album page here in PA.
If you're not into metal (Death metal and extreme) then I wouldn't bother or at least start with their previous (even though I do recommend them to metal heads). Go with Mabool. If you like it, try El Nora Alila and then Sahara.

Hmm..I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the info.

No votes for Temple Of Shadows ):?, it's one of the best prog/power metal albums and even from the whole metal scene, also Mabool it's another f**kin' masterpiece, IMO Orphaned Land is one of the most promising modern Prog Metal bands out there, I just can't wait for their new album to come out(that will be produced by Steven Wilson).

Make sure to get the 2 CD Set of Mabool, the 2nd CD is a live acoustic set which is excellent.
I also love the guitar solo on "The Flood" where he really bends the strings, very emotional playing for a Prog Metal band.

That acoustic set is excellent!! My wife and I used to play it a lot in the car back in Israel. She used to listen to it constantly. She also likes the album itself, of course.

Glad you are liking it Micky.
As far as whoever said where to go after Mabool...I would recommend just waiting for the new album, it should be fairly interesting on how they are going to follow it up.
Theres a thread about it with quite the bit of info somewhere.

Dude.
Anyone who votes DT on this thread has to have not heard Mabool,
because that's just one of the greatest metal albums I've ever layed
ears upon. It's just incredible in terms of emotion, structure,
storyline, and overall musical execution. I plan on reviewing it one
day when I have time... I'm glad you enjoy it Micky!

That is what can lead to dissappointments...maybe they have heard Mabool and just simly didn't like it.... People are allowed to have different opinions.

Mabool takes the cake here, and I don't say that the others are not good.
