Doesn't sound too promising imo, feels pretentious. :S Topping Mabool is a near impossible task, hopefully I'm wrong. XD

Oh come on. Mabool wasn't exactly completely non-pretentious.
Either way, I shall be trying this one soon. I dont usually care for much associated with "prog", but this band have never disappointed me so far.

Topping Mabool is a seemingly impossible task but i've listened to this album once and it has great promise, a few more listens and I could be convinced, however there were, at first listen not as many beautiful sounding melodies...but all in all, an amazing, meaningful album

I wonder what Muslims will think of "Disciples Of The Sacred Oath II". I've already heard some complaining about singing words from the Holy Qur'an, but hopefully everyone can see that it is done in a respectful manner- meant to emphasize the beauty of the words. Great album, I enjoy this one more than even Mabool.

I guess most Muslim metal fans wouldn't mind it... but don't know about the conservative close-minded bastards. Orphaned Land anyway is one of the most popular metal bands in the Middle East. it's almost the only Israeli musical act I know of which enjoys a considerable dedicated following in the Arab and Islamic World. This is not at all a small thing by an measure in the light of the relations between Israel and most Muslim countries.... hope the album is as great as Mabool, though this is not an easy task at all!

Really mixed feelings about this album.. it sounds nice, but nothing sticks, not like Mabool.. and sounds like Mabool at times, and not strong enough.. I guess I will have to listen about 50 more times before I can decide?

It's good to hear them again. And yes it's the same quality as Mabool. Better or worse, I don't know, and I'm not sure I care.
What's sure is that it's beautiful, emotional, and that I'm enjoying it a lot.

I am very impressed with the drumming and production, everything sounds beautiful. Kobi's haunting melodies are stuck in my head all day. I wish this album wasn't so good so I could actually listen to my new Myrath CD more than once already

I can't say for the album as a whole because like Mabool I need to let it sink in, but that little melodic riff in "The Path Part 1 - Treading Through Darkness" is totally awesome.

There are many awesome parts like this one. And Kobi Farhi is just awesome (even more).
BUT, this album is more difficult to get into than Mabool...

AFter a few listens, I got more into the album but it still isn't near the level of Mabool. A few tracks are very enjoyable though like Bereft in the Abyss. I believe that one of the reasons it didn't sink in like Mabool is because it isn't as melodic. Well that's just me.

This song is so awesome. I can't get enought of it. Reminds me of middle eastern Dream Theater.

I never listened to Mabool, but after the first few listens it topped everything I heard from last year (maybe except of Kalisia). Still got to listen to it few more times, but it's on a good way of becoming one of my favourite

I thought I was the only who thought that, but it seems don't, I completely agree on this album being harder to get into, Mabool was way more catchy and melodic, and focused more on that kind of stuff, ORwarriOR seem to be more focused on songrwiting.

This band would be way better without the Arabic stuff. It's cool but I don't know ><
I hate to criticize this album because they put so much work into it and in many ways it's a work of art.
But I just can't say I like it or like listening to it, and somehow as someone said it feels PRETENTIOUS. what the hell.

If you don't like the "Arabic stuff" then why would you listen to a band that has been tagged as Oriental Folk Metal?
In my opinion that's the specie that makes their music sound so interesting. All those melodies and rare instruments are the essence of Orphaned Land, it is what makes them sound different from stupid bands like Nile.

Mariano is correct, what's the point of listening to a middle-eastern folk Metal band when you don't like the middle-east? Though they're not all Arabic.. Mostly the elements used in their songs are Hebrew/Jewish and Turkish..

Haha true! And not only on this song (the riff of "From Broken Vessels" for example is excellent too ! )
Imo, ORwarriOR is less epic than Mabool, a bit more "popy" but a lot more progresssive and then deeper and complex. That's just different but it cleary rocks too, and Orphaned Land didn't fall into the stupid trap of the "let's do the same thing again, it will work!"

Lol, taking out the Middle Eastern influence from Orphaned Land, is like taking out the acoustics from Opeth, or taking out the growls from Death Metal, or eating a hamburger without meat, or whatever, you get the point.

Indeed .
The words that they used are on of the most beautiful parts in The Holy Qur'an discribing Allah's beauty
I was sceptical but decided to give this band a try and I was not disappointed
I actually got the chills after listening to "Disciples Of The Sacred Oath II"

Well... I started listening to this album a couple days ago, i sure love Orphaned Land and this album is awesome but in my opinion, i think the guys made a mistake choosing Steven Wilson to be their producer, he made them sound just like Opeth in some songs, "The Path Part 1 - Treading Through Darkness" for instance, Kboi's vocals is Mikael's himself. don't get me wrong, i like Steven Wilson and he's a great musician, it's just that i wasn't expecting that kinda resemblance.
overall, great album 9+

Here is a link to the lyrics
http://www.lyricsmania.com/disciples_of_the_sacred_oath_ii_lyrics_orphaned_land.html
الله نور السموات والأرض مثل نوره كمشكاةٍ فيها مصباح
يهدي الله لنوره من يشاء ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس والله بكل شيءٍ عليم
[English translation:]
Allah is the light of heavens and earth, his light is like a blessed niche that needs no fire to set ablaze.
Allah guides to his light those who find him in their hearts, and sets forth parables for mankind,
Allah is cognizant of all.
So I was right
The "Ayah" is actually longer
but I have nothing to say

No
there are "very long" parts missing "parts that give more value to this Ayah"
in terms of pronouncing he did a very good job
