Orphaned Land – Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs Review

On January 26, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"Orphaned Land has gone through a lot more change than I think I even realized as they have made the journey from an obscure but promising melodeath band to a major label metal act. Back in 2013, I ended my review of All Is One by urging the band and the label not to "fuck with the formula." The new record, which I was not impressed by, was being released only three years after the incredible The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR. All Is One lacked the depth and force of any of the band's previous material, a fact which I attributed to the album not having been given the time it needed to germinate. But I didn't fully realize that since the release of 2011's The Road to OR-Shalem, the formula had already been pretty well fucked. The first drop was Matti Svatizky in 2012, he was followed by Yossi Sassi in 2014. Both the guitarists had been in the band since 1992 and Yossi is the one I have always associated with Orphaned Land's characteristic "oriental"+prog rock sound. With Yossi's departure, it was hard to not imagine that decline was inevitable. So I admit that I approached Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs with mixed feelings and a healthy dose of dread." Fear and the Orphan.
