Prog Metal with noticeable Arab influence

[Vimana]

I've been enjoying Myrath lately and I'm looking for Prog Metal bands with noticeable Arab influence like Myrath.

 

[Ator]

haven't heard myrath, but check out Orphaned Land's album Mabool-heavy middle eastern influences and pretty progressive stuff. It's a great album

INDEED!

Interesting that they originally had Andy Kuntz (Vanden Plas) doing the vocals...it didn't work out. Mats Levens seems to work just fine here. This appears to be the first CD of a trilogy (the Exodus) that the band will put out...I wonder if they will stick with Mats or bring in other singers in the future? This is some interesting music and should be a treat to follow this band and the story.

I also suggest Orphaned Land. Their "Sahara" album definitely does the trick for me.
