Amaseffer - Slaves For Life
I almost missed out on this one. Even though it came out back in June, I’m going to cover it now anyway.
Israel’s Amaseffer comes out of the gate with a very ambitious project - a trilogy of albums that tell the tale of the Exodus.
Slaves For Life is the first of the three and is Amaseffer’s debut album. It covers material ranging from the Hebrews’ bondage in Egypt, Moses’ life as an Egyptian, his exile in the desert, and ends with the ten plagues – leaving the Exodus itself for the next two albums. The story should be well known to most people – even if the extent of that knowledge comes from “The Ten Commandments” – so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out what’s going on or at what point the story is at if you don’t know Hebrew, which is used throughout the album (but breathe easy, the album is mostly in English).
