The seventh album from this band from Tunisia.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, sampled strings and vocals.
Numerous guests added guitars, violin, graqeb, saz, choir and female vocals.
This album is clocking in at three quarters of an hour.
Myrath and Orphaned Land (Israel) have always been regarded as the two best and most well-known bands in the oriental metal scene. A scene where the bands combine Middle East folk music with progressive metal.
There is a lot of Middle East folk rock and pop music here. There is also lots of progressive metal here. This is blended well together. The result is some pretty melodic, yet still hard and edgy songs.
There are some children choir here. One of my pet hates is children choirs.
The music is slick and pretty commercial. There are some ballads here too and some of the music reminds me about the 1990s.
That said, the music is pretty good. This is one of the better progressive metal bands around and a new album from this band is always an event. This is not their best album, though.
2.5 points
