Orphaned Land - Sahara (1994)


Right now I'm feeling too lazy to write a fancy review for this album, so here: Orhphaned Land mixes death metal, progressive metal, and Middle Eastern folk music to create their unique sound. Aside from the traditional instruments used in heavy metal, Orphaned Land uses Arabic and Balkan stringed instruments such as the saz, the bouzouki, and the oud. Sahara is the band's first full-length release as well as my favorite album by them.

1) The Sahara's Storm
2) Blessed Be Thy Hate
3) Ornaments of Gold
4) Aldiar Al Mukadisa
5) Seasons Unite
6) The Beloved's Cry
7) My Requiem
8) Orphaned Land, The Storm Still Rages Inside
