Additional info
Kaddish is a Jewish prayer recited during the three daily synagogue services and those who are mourning the death of a relative.

Ha'ayara Bo'eret (The Burgh is Burning) is a cover of an Israeli folk song (1928). It is a metaphor for the way the world ignored the pain of Jews during the holocaust.

Front cover is "The Jewish Cemetary" by Jacob Van Ruisdael (1655-1660).

Salem's take on the Holocaust of the Jews during WW2, told by a survivor. Very gloomy and emotional, as can be anticipated, Salem moved from Death to Doom. Best tracks in my opinion are Eyes To Match A Soul, The Fading,Ha´ayara Bo´eret and Fear Of The Future.

It really is a top tier Melodeath doom album, too! I personally like Dying Embers the most. The subtle oriental elements are great, too. If you like Sahara from Orphaned Land, you'll certainly like this one, too - I actually prefer it because of the subject matter, which is really well handled, and that it's a bit more focused, sound-wise, than Orphaned Land's.
