Includes Shlomit Levi's solo album samples from her MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/shlomitlevi)
I'm reckoned everyone who visits this forum will definitely get her album after it's finally released Her voice is... Goddesslike.


Uniqueness and magical catchy melodies guaranteed

And 2 more things:

36 versions of Hava Nagilah: from Elvis Presley to Rootwater and from Berry Sisters to Scooter here:

Those who hate waiting for slots/time-counters when downloading stuff from RapidShare or DepositFiles, try using the XXXXL-17 software:

wow- thanks for posting so much cool stuff I'm afraid my well has dried up. BC-A and me listen to quite some oriental stuff, but most is not metal related. I had no idea there was so much oriental metal stuff available.

[Postmodernist]

Oops, Junaid, Antaragni's songs that you uploaded are no longer available. Most likely, Mediafire is no longer allowed to host mp3s. But I managed to download them before they were removed.
Anyone can get the songs here:

I would characterize their music as Indian art-rock. Zen light musical patterns with acoustic guitar and traditional instruments (dutar-sounding violin, flute, tabla, occasional sitar) and chants.

I can't believe no ones mentioned Bilocate yet! They're from Jordan and one of the best Oriental death metal bands around not that there are very many! lol Check em out! www.myspace.com/bilocate

@ Postmodernist,

Dude its simply amazing how a guy from exUSSR can get his hands on music from a city in India, by a band with no more than a few thousand listeners at most!
Most people here who are into rock/metal haven't heard of Antaragini and it is just amazing to know that someone thousands of kilometres has given them a listen. But on the other hand, little bands from Europe are stupified when I tell them that I love their music

 

[Postmodernist]

I could not keep myself from posting this:


They are WONDERFUL! Pure A Capella, and they can imitate _anything_.

They come from Israel, and I think this is _the_ choir that could record parts of ORwarriOR
They all got perfect ear for singing - maybe Kobi could join them one day

Check out Farzad Golpayegani from Iran for some nice instrumental persian folk metal music.

http://www.farzadonline.com/ << All albums are available for download

[Messiakh]

Also I'd recommend Azam Ali for those into ethnic world music with beautiful female vocals.

Check out her band Niyaz for some beautiful Persia Sufi music or Vas for some nice relaxing ethnic sounds from around the world.

 

[Morticia NL.]

Thank you very much Messiakh for your great suggestions.
As for how very ' small bands' music ends up at the other end of the world: BLESS THE INTERNET
