I think the difference with Orphaned Land is they're something pretty new for this area. Though at times I get System of a Down vibes even though that's few and far between. I like the variation they have especially comparing their acoustic set that is on the Mabool bonus CD, their new CD, and the earlier efforts. They seem to progress a lot but never into something dissapointing. As said, I'd never even heard of them before but as soon as I started listening to their music I was in love. I'm also rarely a fan of screaming/grunting unless I really feel it adds to a song. Usually I don't but with them I feel it often fits.
