"Mabool (Re-issue 2019)" on CD presents the definitive re-release of Orphaned Land's landmark concept album, originally celebrated for its visionary blend of progressive metal, Middle Eastern melodies and spiritual themes. This 2019 edition invites both long-time fans and new listeners to immerse themselves in an ambitious narrative that weaves together stories of faith, guilt, redemption and the biblical flood, carried by dynamic songwriting that moves from fragile acoustic passages to powerful, orchestral heaviness. Rich arrangements with oud, percussions and choral parts create a cinematic atmosphere, while the shifting tempos and complex structures showcase the band's progressive sophistication without losing emotional immediacy. The CD format offers the album as a coherent journey from start to finish, ideal for focused listening and rediscovering the depth and detail of one of the band's most acclaimed works.

Over the years, their albums have appeared in numerous "best of" lists in the progressive and oriental metal scenes, and the band has toured extensively worldwide, sharing stages with many major metal acts and earning a reputation as an intense and spiritually charged live band. "Mabool" is often cited by fans and critics as a turning point in their career, solidifying their status as innovators who redefined what metal from the Middle East can sound like.
