Depressive oriental black metal from Iran:


*too harsh for my ears, however special*

Ozric Tentacles have a great Middle Eastern feel on some albums.

 

[Postmodernist]

Hm, Ozric Tentacles are progressive psychedelic rock. Which songs sound Middle Eastern? I can certainly feel some zen oriental touch in their stuff:

Don't know if this can be considered metal, but it shares some musicial similarities with Orphaned Land

 

[Postmodernist]

Thanks for sharing Nostalgiaplatz, The Moon and The Nightspirit's music is truly magical, just like Orphaned Land's, Estatic Fear, Vox Vulgaris, Azam Ali & Vas, Loreena McKennitt, Irfan or Dead Can Dance (see at previous pages).



PS: I will definitely order all The Moon and The Nightspirit albums. A true miracle which needs to be supported.

South American "Inca ancestral" ethnic atmospheric death-metal, Guahaihoque:





They got a true magic in their music. When listening to this music you can feel the mysterious Inca gods coming back from 12t century.
