Orphaned Land, "The Beloved's Cry"

[Ruthven]

One of the best purchases I made at PPV was Orphaned Land's "Mabool." A beautiful album and a talented band. Yesterday I got "The Beloved's Cry," an earlier album from them. While "The Beloved's Cry" is not, in my opinion, as good as "Mabool," it is still very good. It has an overall rawer sound and has more death metal-style vocals. However, the exotic instrumentation is still present and the songs are pretty melodic. The Opeth element sounds stronger on "The Beloved's Cry." So basically, for you melodic progressive-death metal fans out there, this is another album well worth acquiring - provided that you don't have it already.

Right now, the trick seems to be finding them!

I'm growing more impressed with each listen. It'll be in my Top 10 of 2004, although I'm not sure which list it will be in.
