An Advice of Music: Oriental Progressive Metal

Hey, I'm Dan and I would like to introduce you with a band called Orphaned Land.
Orphaned Land is an oriental progressive metal band from Israel. At first their music sounds a bit weird, but after a few hearings it will get better for sure.
This band is a special combination of classic metal elements with many kinds of oriental music rhythms. The first song I'd like to recommend you called "Norra el Norra", which is a pure bless taken from the bible:

As you can hear, they sing the whole song in a "Biblical-Hebrew" style, which is seems to be very calm as well. The song contains a very high oriental influence, definitely more than the metal elements included.
The second song is "Ocean Land", which speaks about the land after the big flood in one of the most famous stories of the Genesis book.

This song shows the progressive metal side, combined with oriental style as well.

That's the end of my quick Oriental Progressive Metal review. If you a bit more interested in the band, I suggest you to try the album "Mabool", a great album which perform a famous tale from the bible.

'Till Death We Fight

Hello you there. I am Neria, yet 16 years old from a northern hole in Israel. A normal student, metal fan, write as a hobby.
By opening, my primary idea of creating this blog was to publish in public my poems, writings. etc. Maybe it will get more uses at future. Until then, here is the first one.

'Till Death We Fight / Originally: Wednesday, September 23

Beatitudes and bliss are hidden behind corner
Watch it, touch it, see the efficient act
Soon we'll meet triumph on its whole
I don't think otherwise, I won't let it fall

During terrible war years of anxiety and fright
Individual's will doesn't make sense
So by my own courage and ambition to rise
I'll fight 'till my death and I will shoot and slice

Hit, kill, destroy them for real
Do for your land as your part of the deal

In frontline of my posse I'll run into their group
Smitten will be there amazed
Omission in otherside will let me begin
Remove some of their heads and put my sword in

Hit, kill, destroy them for real
Go for our land as your part of the deal

Bloodthirsty for gory deeds and more men to defeat
Terrific insane eyes will shine
Craziness's rising and increase(s) itself fast
But then I check my sides, goddam I'm the last!

Hit, kill, destroy them for real
Foe of our land will be eaten for meal

Encircled by enemy now I realize
Finally aware that the blood here is our
So if I won't reach bliss and won't see lights again
You all should know our state worth any pain

Hit, kill, destroy them for real
Do for our land as your part of the deal
Of life!
