Rod in Toronto Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Who has heard this band? I know that treeduck likes them. They combine Arab music with metal, and the end result is intriguing, to say the least. I interviewed their vocalist here: http://lotsofmuzic.weebly.com/home/orphaned-land-vocalist-kobi-farhi-talks-about-the-new-band-upcoming-album-and-many-more And here´s a song off the new album: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I know them. I often research music from around the world, I'll pick a genre and search various nations for bands. I've discovered a ton of music that way. Orphaned Land has a great positive unity message. The vocals don't always work for me though. It's not the quality at all, just a style I don't always get into. Sometimes I think it works great, though. Sometimes they are a bit overwrought, but they're a great band and worth checking out. I love their logo. For metal fans, encyclopedia mettalum is a good resource for researching bands. They have thousands, and you can search by subgenre and by nation.

Lucas Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I like 'em a lot ... and Duck, how come you and I never talked about them ?? ... ( my bad, I should have known you love 'em just for the fact that the vocalist looks like Vincent Gallo ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one album though is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 There are less growls in the new album. Also, as you know, Mr Hackett plays a solo in one of the songs. Even my wife enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Mosher, please read my article and share it if you want. That's a very good interview. It was interesting that he seemed a bit wary of being labeled as a 'peace and love' band. I get that it's still metal and retains an aggressive side, but 'ANGER ANGER ANGER' bands are a dime a dozen. There are several good ones, but I'll take a band that has something to say any day. I did not know they change logos so frequently, the one I love is the religious symbols juxtaposed over each other. I'll pay more attention to them, maybe their style will grow on me. I am a big fan of incorporated local musical styles into a band's music, that's part of why I explore bands from around the world in the first place (the other being that I refuse to believe that only a handful of countries have talent). So I love that they incorporate local sounds into their music, what I haven't got into as much is the symphonic aspects of the vocals and music. Many of the popular symphonic metal bands don't connect with me. Edited January 13, 2018 by Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
