Dark and brooding, Metziut Nifredet gave the world its first taste of hard rockers Hayehudim in 1995. The expansive 15-track album brought a rough, jagged edge to the Israeli rock scene, with Tom Petrover's heavy, distorted guitars and Orit Shachaf's explosive vocals lending the band its propulsive and aggressive style. With a sound that falls somewhere between post-grunge and old school hard rock, it's obvious why Metziut Nifredet became a slow-burning classic.
