"This is a resistance dispatch. Codeword: Illumination." After a six-years-long wait, Orphaned Land are finally back. Don't be fooled by the quite classical (well, for Orphaned Land) opener "Sapari", the rest of the album is clearly not as straightforward! And, just like their previous album Mabool, TNEWOORW (shorter this way, eh?) is a concept album. This one is quite a biblical metaphor, telling us about the spiritual journey of one man that becomes a warrior of Light. Oh, and 'Or' in Hebrew means light, hence the 'ORWarrior' in the album's title. Read more ›› |

Released one month ago, it hasn't leaved my CD played (or my Ipod) since.
It's been six long years since Orphaned Land offered us the wonderful Mabool. Did they do better? I honestly can't say... But who cares? Both are awesome masterpieces of metal, extreme, folk, prog, melody, all of that and more.
So, come abroad in this musical journey, following a soul lost in darkness that becomes a warrior of light...
Definitely an album to be experienced, not merely listened to.

Yeah because Arabs live in the desert and ride on Camels to work ............. Oh wait they don't work they just sit in their tents and watch virgins dancing and have lots and lots of children Stereotype

Ok the album is very good. but still dont like the idea of mixing phrases from Quran into song, even though it has a beautiful meaning.

I think I like more to think of camels in the desert, than to think about He-Man like guys with swords killing dragons or trolls dancing in the forest while listening to music...

Posts: 108 Written by Wes on 28.01.2010 at 13:49 This album sounds really good, from the stuff I've heard so far its incredibly unique. I can't say I agree with it being pretentious though. Either way it was nice to see someone giving a balanced criticism of an album, not something you see that often on the internet these days

Enjoyable from what I've heard so far. I really enjoyed Mabool, so I hope this one will reach that level for me.

For me this is the album of the year!! It's a endless journey, very unique melody, and yet better than Mabool.

For me is not better than Mabol, but is a very enjoyable album. Found here a very good song: 07. The Warrior.

I think the album starts to lose its power after the 9th song where the tracks starts to sound so ordinary and not interesting at all whereas the first 9 tracks were varied ,unique and utterly brilliant

I don't know anything about this album, but the use of upper-case in "ORwarriOR" really annoys me whenever I see it.

Overall, the album is certainly worth the listen and you will find some of the songs will really grow on you through repeated listens.

I see where you are going with the Opeth comparison, there is a song where they use keyboards, can't remember which one, and the tone is very similar to Opeth's tone. That was the only thing I thought was similar.
