One of the best metal albums ever, Mabool takes Israeli folk music and mashes it together with some of the tightest and greatest metal sounds in modern music.

My biggest complaint about Baghoul's adventure album is how long the adventure is. But otherwise, this is prog and it is enjoyable.

A creation of progressive metal with lots of folk elements; a concept album about a mythological/religious story; a perfect cohesion; a unique sound. That's all Mabool is about, an album that will let you experience a trip to Israel and back... or, more like, a fascinating story.

Note: if the tracks in the middle were as strong as the first four and last four ones, it could be as good as the best album in music history for me.

+bonus points for giving me the chance to dive deep into the story

With a narrative behind, Mabool: The Story of the Three Sons of Seven is a decent work of progressive music, but leaves something to be desired. This isn't boring, however, I don't find this sound particularly interesting or innovative, though every track is presented in a way that is easily enjoyable.
