...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI.
..::OPIS::..
Trzy dekady tworzenia muzyki, występów na żywo na całym świecie i szerzenia przesłania pokoju. Z tej wyjątkowej okazji zespół wydał zestaw CD zawierający osiem płyt z sześcioma albumami zespołu i dodatkową kolekcją piosenek z ostatnich 30 lat (na dwóch dodatkowych płytach CD).
Zestaw zawiera też bogatą 112-stronicową książeczkę ze specjalnymi notatkami dotyczącymi każdego albumu. '30 Years Of Oriental Metal' ukazał się 10 grudnia 2021 nakładem Century Media.
First of all, just to remove any doubt, I believe Mabool to be one of the best albums ever released. However, I do believe this awesome band's El Norra Alila is even better than Mabool. Orphaned Land is one of the few bands that managed to go change every release. Sahara doesn't sound anything at all like El Norra Alila, that doesn't even really remind of Mabool. You could still label it under the genre of middle-eastern death metal, but you wouldn't immediately tell it was even the same band.
Anyway, just how is El Norra Alila better than Mabool? First of all, Kobi Farhi's vocals. They sound different here. He uses his deep speech-voice much more often than he does on Mabool (which is a real pity, as he has an AMAZING clean voice), and his growl is a little higher-pitched than in mabool, which is also good. Secondly, the riffs. Oh, such great riffs. El Norra Alila has some of the best riffs I've ever heard. Find Yourself, Discover God, the first song in the album, demonstrates what excellent guitar work you are going to experience from the first guitar note it features. Moreover, the construction of this album is perfect. The instrumental parts fit right in between heavy songs, and Shir HaMa'alot, that could be a rather annoying part of any other Orphaned Land album, makes this one only better.
Some of the songs that best demonstrate all this are Find Yourself, Discover God, Flawless Belief and Of Temptation Born. Go Orphaned Land! If you liked Mabool, then you should most definitely get a hold of this album. It might be a little harder to get used to than Mabool was, as it's not as catchy, but overall I consider it a better effort than Mabool ever will be.
