By accident, I discovered an Israeli heavy metal band called Orphaned Land.
Check out what allmusic.com have to say about their 2004 album, Mabool
| Quote: |
* impressive � at times unprecedented � achievements in expanding the boundaries of heavy metal
* ambitious, at times even improbable, efforts to incorporate native Middle Eastern musical styles into the heavy metal template, Orphaned Land stake a claim in the largely unrecognized "World Metal" sub-genre
* SO eclectic
* A concept album, no less, Mabool takes a swing at setting the Noah's Ark biblical myth to music (Mabool = "the flood," get it?)
* beguiling Arabic melodic nuances to crushing death metal riffs, drums, and cookie-monster growls.
* use of exotic sonic elements, ethnic instrumentation, clean singing, acoustic guitars, solo female vocals in Hebrew

Definitely one of the best metal albums of the decade. |

Great Isreali Music - A contradiction in terms?
Great Korean Rap - A definite contradiction in terms!!! |

| Best metal albums of the decade, hmmm... The 200_ decade? The 80's were the metal decade. The best acid rock of the 80's hardly seems worth listening to.... |
