Great album! Amaseffer- feat. Kobi

Morticia NL. · July 16th, 2008, 10:17 AM

Im quite surprised there is no thread about this album to date, so Ill start writing it myself.
There is this Israeli band called Amaseffer that have issued an excellent album called Slaves for life that is especially interesting for fans of progressive metal combining oriental sounds.And to make it even more interesting, this album features the vocals of Kobi!
Here is the story of the album:

Oh yeah I've heard about this, but I haven't had the chance to hear it

, maybe you could send it to me please?

Leilani · July 18th, 2008, 02:50 AM

Thank you for this great news. I am a huge fan of progessive metal in general. I never heard this band before and I will check it out

Thonolan · July 20th, 2008, 02:15 PM

Truly a fantastic album! Highly recommended. I'm addicted to it

Metal head87 · July 20th, 2008, 02:55 PM

It's out already?
It's been one of my most anticipated albums 08.

Morticia NL. · August 2nd, 2008, 06:13 PM

I find it hard to take out of my cd player still...
Sorry, I cannot send the album. Please check out the links I supplied earlier, you can hear quite some parts of the album there.

thank you Nathalie, I've already listened some songs, that sounds really great

SerenityNow! · August 26th, 2008, 07:59 PM

I'll be picking this up shortly! Like tomorrow!!

KidDaylight · September 1st, 2008, 03:57 PM

An amazing album in my opinion. I can't get enough of it!

Morticia NL. · September 1st, 2008, 03:58 PM

Same here. I have it on my phone, so it travels with me everywhere.....

Awesome album, too bad it's very expensive here (90NIS, approx 28$) and I haven't got my hands on the original copy yet.. it's highly recommended, mats is doing a great job on the vocals and this album and his work there should be rewarded

Miltbrand · September 10th, 2008, 09:47 AM

Yeah, it´s a pretty good album. Mats Levén is a great singer!

Late reply here , but Midian and Zipporah are amazing !
The atmosphere in Midian [ actually the whole album] is brilliant ]

I read somewhere that Amaseffer's next album will be the OST of a movie on a conflict shortly after the Israeli independence. Slaves for life itself would have made a kickass OST for a movie.

gestinannan · March 28th, 2009, 04:17 PM

amaseffer is really good,its hard to believe that slaves for life is their debut.

Morticia NL. · March 31st, 2009, 01:54 AM

I heard from a friend in Israel that they are already working on the next album. And it is not the soundtrack thingy (that was already issued by the way) They are even contacting some Dutch musicians for this. Can't wait for the next album for sure. I do hope they will continue to work with Mats Leven for the vocals, because his voice really fits the concept. I saw him in a show just after Christmas and he blew me away. It was even better than the shows he did with Therion.

By the way>>> Matti's twin. I swear Matti has not only the same hair, but also the same jeans!!! lol

Animanexus · March 31st, 2009, 04:36 AM

They also must co-operated with Kobi again.It's part of the concept.

Morticia NL. · April 17th, 2009, 05:28 AM

Goes without question.... Kobi is perfect for the oriental style vocals
