just a question...

[benkei]

could you tell me the story around the song "the beloveds cry" ?

this song represents a lot of feelings for me
thanks

The song deals with the grief of a young man, dealing with the loss of his loved one, who died under unknown circomstences, but that part you already figured out i guess. The story is a fiction, and the insperation for the lyrics did not come from a specific case which happened in real life. When we thought of composing this balade, in around 1992, it was very uncommon for a Death Metal band to come up with a balade, and this song, back in the days, has become something of a symbol that we were reconized with, and we even decided to title our demo under this name, because of the uniqueness of it.

sure , this song is a symbol
i agree it was shocking for a death metal band to made a balade in 1992, but in my point of view , it's a reflection of Orphaned Land soul.

i like bands who mix differents styles as Opeth , ....


thanks for your explanations

i'm confused as to who is who in the older band pictures - except for Yossi, who i guess i can kind of make out - everyone else looks completely different, i know that 2 of the older members aren't there anymore but maybe someone could help us out in identifying in this picture:

Gladly .

From right to left: Uri, Kobi, Itzik (our former keyboards player), Sami (our old drummer), Yossi, and Matti...

 

[The Metal Pigeon]

ahah! thanks

btw - are those buzzcuts on Kobi and the other guys a result of the military service asked of everyone at 18? Whats that like? I'm guessing everyone has been to bootcamp then... yikes.
