Mabool - The Story of the Three Sons of Seven

Well, this was the first metal album I have ever bought with my own money. Was it worth it? Every penny. This album is one of the greatest progressive metal albums I have ever heard, I think it is even better than "The Odyssey" by Symphony x.

Because it was my first, I decided that it will be my first review.

My technical vocabulary is really poor, so I am not going to analyze this album musically, but emotionally.

When the first song started, I was a little disappointed... it started with this chants in an unidentified language, and nothing close to metal, at the 00:16 second, the music started. And it overwhelmed me (from there to the end of it)
Usually the first time I hear an album I don't read the words during the playing of the CD. So was with this CD. I was completely surrounded by the opening song, I didn't need the words. It was so good... (At the second time I heard it, I did read the words, and I understood how stupid I was- it was even better with the words!).

Anyway, the other songs continue with the spirit of this song, in every one of them you will fill the power of this masterpiece, the music will bind you to it, it will surround you completely, with great vocals- changing between great growl that comes in the proper moments, great English singing which completes the growl, some Hebrew singing (which is totally awesome!) and parts from the bible in Hebrew, which come in great moments and are just hypnotic. The music level is between "genius" and "even more genius", all the tools are played extremely well, and there is quite a range of them (Chellos, violin, oud, buzuki, all kinds of guitars, drums keyboards and more...).

This piece sounds like a one great track instead of 12 different tracks. Each track comes in the right place and in the right time, and they all sound different, and each has ups (and it always gets up). The album have tracks in which you can relax a bit, listen to something new, think a bit, wonder and more...

I think that there are 2 great songs that are better then the rest- "Mabool" and "Halo Dies", which are just perfect, but the others are also genius.

If you like music you have to purchase it! This album is for every music lover! It is just perfect!

I gave this album a 100, because it was my first purchased metal album, and I'll always have a warm place in my heart for it, besides, it deserves it.
