4 stars Israeli composer and musician Yossi SASSI is probably best known for being a founding member of Israeli progressive metal band Orphaned Land, but he's also a veteran contributor in the Israeli music circuit as a musician, composer and producer in his own right. In 2012 he started a solo career with the launch of the album "Melting Clocks". Two more albums have followed since. "Roots and Roads" is the most recent of these, and was self-released in 2016 under the moniker Yossi Sassi Band.

With "Roots and Roads" Yossi Sassi Band has created an intriguing album of music where the focus appears to be to continue his path of incorporating Israeli and Middle East folk music details with contemporary rock and metal, sometimes progressive and sometimes not as much. Those who tend to get intrigued by what people from a western cultural background would describe as exotic world music used to expand the borders of contemporary rock and metal, progressive or otherwise, should take note of this CD, as well as Sassi's previous excursions as a solo artist.
