Bands like Orphaned Land (oriental metal etc.)

Al-Namrood are awesome! They have a new album out in January 2012 Kitab Al Awthan:

So there's a few things to look forward to next year! :D

Anyone else know of other oriental metal releases soon / next year?
 
ok im convinced, just bought amaseffer.

I love the tunisian band Myrath as well too. Tales from the sand was one of my two fave albums in 2011 :hotjump:

Amaseffer is good, but not that good imho.

Myrath is a very good band indeed, good melodies and refrains.
 
I would recommend Farzad Golpayegani from Iran. His music is all instrumental. Most of his albums are metal, except his album "Four," very much like Yossi Sassi's new solo album, teeming with Oriental melodies.

I would decently ask to check out my oriental prog metal band Parallax (from Ukraine). Our music is influenced by such band as Orphaned Land, Aeternam, Arkan, Amorphis, Moonspell, Symphony X etc., combining prog sounding with Middle Eastern traditions.

Recently we've released our debut EP called Sputnik. It is available for listening trough following links:

The concept of our EP is based mainly on space topics, in particular on Mars, first ever human-made Earth satellite Sputnik-1, as well as John Carter movie and Pioneer One series.
