Orphaned Land is a progressive metal band from Petah Tikva (פתח תקווה), Israel, formed in 1991. They combine oriental elements and traditional Jewish folk music with slow doom/death metal. Orphaned Land is a doom/death band at its core, but they are highly influenced by the folk music and tradition of the Oriental Jews (Mizraḥim), making their sound much more progressive than typical doom/death bands.
