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.

The only one I really love is Mabool.

it does have emotion in spades.. which I like. Thanks Greg.... and thanks for the heads up on the acoustic CD. I'll look for that when ordering.

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).

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.

Cool, thanks.

Enjoy it!

I'll make you a deal. If you hate it, I'll pay you back the price of the album.

hahahha... nah... if I hate it.. the fun of trashing another PM album will be worth the cost of the album ahhahah Wink

I think you'll like it, though. Especially after seeing your conversion of late. There's a big variety of sounds in this album; influences/sounds from the middle east, from Muslim and Jewish religious tunes, citing from the bible (old testament), a nice story line that album is built around, cool art work; the last four tracks which are connected in themselves are a good reason to get this. But the opening song is fabulous as well.

There's growling on the album (as well as clear vocals and female chants) so just so you know.
