Hullo there folks!! Katherine here.
For my first post here, I thought I'd share one of my favorite bands. Right now I'm really hooked on their music. They are Orphaned Land, an oriental metal band from Israel. They are amazing! They combine traditional melodies and instruments with modern influences. A song on its own is great to listen to; but the best way to enjoy Orphaned Land is to sit down and listen to a full album from beginning to end. (Which, by the way, is how albums should be. If the songs don't go together, and are just a jumbled mess, I like it less.)

Give them a listen! My top three favorites from them are below.
