Orphaned land-The Path Part I-treading through darkness

[YuvalZakOL]

the music of orphaned land makes me feel good

[WatchingObserving]

Beautiful, I enjoyed that.

[waitzandbleed]

I was of the several hundred lucky people to witness this song live in Israel... "Perfection" just isn't strong enough a word.

[uchicha666]

This is one of the best riffs I have ever heard

[tamercanpolat]

Any ideas about the name of the instrument played between 3:14 and 3:24?

[morwsl]

@tamercanpolat

maybe its Arabian violins

[tamercanpolat]

@morwsl Thank you but what is the difference between normal violin and Arabian violin? Anyone got ideas? How I love to learn to play that stunning part.

[morwsl]

@tamercanpolat kobi said in an interview that that its the same violins but different way of playing.

[tamercanpolat]

@morwsl Toda raba :)

[TatonSolo]

que tema mas increible *-* esa flauta me re atrae y mas la guitarra \m/

[slyrmuzip]

I am proud to be middle eastern!

[KFSBTYR]

the whole album is absolutely masterpiece..

[MegaJackbest]

@KFSBTYR you're absolutely right

[losferwords666]

CTM! que se hace musica buena en el Oriente wn!!!

[zekejammah16]

3:10-4:30 is so cool, i dont know why

[Clairevoyante]

Ok the violin and other traditional instruments are just amazing in this song!

[imraanLQ4ever]

THIS IS SO AWESOME...but pretty long lol

[cornishpastie9]

This sounds so much like Opeth. I guess that's the influence of Steven Wilson. Really great song, anyway.

[luke666808g]

@cornishpastie9 really? I don't reckon they sound like Opeth at all.

[chevelleandopeth]

saw these guys with swallow the sun and katatonia on 9/11. it was an awesome experience. got a poster from katatonia, its signed by katatnoia.

[jaddy13]

just one word fascinating

[gili1484]

i was in a concert of them, in the part where theres guitar solo and ohhhohhh all the crowd sang together... what an energy...

[mayoarm11]

very similar to opeth. very cool

[estrium1903]

certainly great...

[themightyhorror]

i am rly starting to like this band gogo orphaned land FTW!

[ShariValo]

killer track!

[BlowmeRAP]

favorite off latest album. it's perfect

[Nursesaids]

2:41 I get chills

[LeeRLang]

@Nursesaids Same... It's emotionally liberating.

[tommystix87]

the solos at 2:39 and 6:21 fucking kickass!

[KFSBTYR]

rally this album is a masterpiece..maybe the best music iv ever heard!!

[ComeFromTheFlames]

but no one sounds like orphaned!!

[jrockzmyv382]

@ComeFromTheFlames

They remind me of Opeth a little bit BUT at the same time they are TOTALLY different. And absolutely fucking awesome.

[ComeFromTheFlames]

@jrockzmyv382 this is orphaned land with the brain of (steven wilson) so think about it  cheers dude :)

[OrphanedDisciples]

@ComeFromTheFlames Steven Wilson did not produce this album. He only mixed it. Orphaned Land produced the album and is the brain behind it ;)

[jrockzmyv382]

@ComeFromTheFlames

oh! I totally know Steve Wilson is the reason behind some of the Opeth similarities... especially some of the vocal harmonies! However, there's a lot of things they do that I view as being even better than Opeth. I even prefer singing Kobi's voice to Akerfeldts. (I'm gonna get killed for saying that lol) :)

The one gripe I have about this album is: I wish the production of the drums was better... The drums don't sound EQ'd to be as punchy and powerful as they could be.

[ComeFromTheFlames]

@jrockzmyv382 indeed dude im israeli and to hear it

makes me feel proud of my favorite band!

אורפנד לנד forever

[Doenerteer]

Great Song! The new Album is amazing... see you on Wacken!! i love Oriental Metal

[ComeFromTheFlames]

but no one does it like orphened before!!!!

[Bedragersk]

this is so cool. a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about Orphaned Land, but i was like: wtf? what music is that? oriental + metal music? it's shit; this is what i thought in that moment, but, in fact, it's really awesome!

[IsraeliMetalhead]

@Bedragersk Hehe,there are lots of Oriental bands that you are maybe listening to.

Behemoth use Oriental riffs,Iron maiden have songs with Oriental riffs,Artillery has one song if I remember correctly.

Want a very very good oriental band?Black Metal check out Melechesh.

[Bedragersk]

@IsraeliMetalhead Thanks. I know Melechesh, but I think I have to listen more of their songs. Though I listen Iron Maiden, I didn't notice.

[Sabin41]

@IsraeliMetalhead Tiamat are a Swedish band that like to use a lot of Sumerian mythology in their lyrics and middle eastern influences. Search up Four Leary Biscuits.

[emperormma]

@IsraeliMetalhead Absu and Nile are bands pretty much obsessed with middle east mythology or music atmosphere. And another excelent Israel bands: Salem and ArallU. \m/

[AstarealRomance]

@IsraeliMetalhead correct musical term is harmonic minor instead of oriental :)

[s0gier90a]

@IsraeliMetalhead I met some members of the band Melechesh during a drumclinic of Gorge kollias drummer of Nile

[luke666808g]

@Bedragersk well that's a stupid way to think, but I guess you know that now...

[Guitarist170]

@Bedragersk You can also check Enuma Elish by Rotting Christ.

[ImpioFuror]
