All Is One

Rocío Echávarri( Deuzzy) / Translation: Lilith Absynthe

On this occasion we are going back once more to the Middle East, today I have in my hands perhaps the best album which has been released so far this year from a band that for the time being is emblematic in that part of the world: Orphaned Land.

Orphaned Land is a group from Israel and they fusion progressive metal, doom metal and death metal with the folk music of the Middle East and the Arab world, being one of the trailblazer bands from Middle East. Orphaned Land don’ t have the basis of their music on myths as other bands, but they place it in real life situations that are currently happening.
