ORPHANED LAND - Sahara CD

I picked "Sahara" up a few years ago and still it never ceases to amaze and enchant me, receiving play after play on my stereo. Orphaned Land make their debut here and immediately indicate that they have an incredibly unique style and talent unlike any other metal band before. How could one not give such immense credit to a band that has the ability to throw something new and fresh out in the open in a scene filled with so many generic bands? "Sahara" sums up everything Orphaned Land is about from the get-go and foreshadows the development and potential of an already incredibly gifted band that is so much more than plain death/doom metal.
