ProgCenter 1 - Amaseffer


I was thinking. Who should be the first band/music I will post on this blog. And so I decided for one of the bands that I can't get sick of hear any of their songs.

I'm Talking about Amaseffer, one enormous band on progressive metal.



Amaseffer means People of the Holy Book in Hebrew, the native language of band's musicians. Their members are:
Yuval Kramer (Dark Serpent, Omb, Reign of the Architect, ex-Prey for Nothing) - Guitars, Bass
Erez Yohanan - Drums, Percussion, Bass, Narration
Hanan Avramovich (Reign of the Architect) - Guitars

And for me the most important,
Mats Leven (Krux, Therion,Candlemass, Adagio, Gus G - Solo Album) on vocals

Their debut album was something marvelous, Slaves for Life from 2008, it's not just a simple album, is a concept album, destined to tell a tale for everyone not only to hear what's happening but also to feel all the story, stories about the biblic events. Even for those who don't value christian values, you will feel embraced by the melody and symphony, in the song




In this album Also Angela Gossow (Ex-Arch Enemy Vocalist) enters on midian song. One very important aspect, is that they mix the oriental music and sounds with ocidental style, making this amazing fusion.
The full alignment was this:
1. Sorrow     02:40      
2. Slaves for Life 08:27
3. Birth of Deliverance 11:11
4. Midian     11:47
5. Zipporah     06:10
6. Burning Bush     06:31
7. The Wooden Staff     09:13
8. Return to Egypt     03:25
9. Ten Plagues     11:28
10. Land of the Dead     06:53

Here you can hear Burning Bush, 6th music of Slaves for life album, here you can feel almost every word, it's hard to be indifferent, enjoy the fusion between ocidental and oriental music.



In 2011 the band released a new song, Pillar of Fire , from their next album When the Lions Leave Their Den where the band showd What we could expect in a next album. The band only on last December (2013) revealed they are on studio making the new album, all fans expect the album to be released before 2015.
This is one of my most awaited albums, hope i will not be disappointed.

Here it is pillar of Fire,they keep on an amazing pace, this is still a pre-production sound, we hope the next album, the continuation of the story will be as amazing as the first one
