Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs is the sixth studio album by the Israeli oriental metal band, Orphaned Land, and was released on January 26, 2018.

Orphaned Land believe that this allegory still holds true today, and acts as a prophecy two-thousand years later, and thus Plato is "an ancient prophet in a way".

"[3] The music video depicts a Haredi Jewish man and a Muslim woman attending a Kreator concert at night, while hiding their association with the metal community from their families.

[4] At the Gates lead vocalist, Tomas Lindberg, performed in the song Only the Dead Have Seen the End of War as a "lunatic" in the cave, according to Farhi, as a contrast to Kürsch's singing like Orpheus.

[4] The track Poets of Prophetic Messianism is sung by the album's choir, in its original Ancient Greek form, a line from Plato's The Republic: "Ἢ δοκοῦσί τί σοι τυφλῶν διαφέρειν ὁδὸν ὀρθῶς Πορευομένων οἱ ἄνευ νοῦ ἀληθές τι δοξάζοντες" which translates directly to English as: "Anyone who holds a true opinion without understanding Is like a blind man on the right road" At the start of the song The Manifest - Epilogue, Pirkei Avot 2:21 of the Mishnah is quoted: "לֹא עָלֶיךָ הַמְּלָאכָה לִגְמֹר, וְלֹא אַתָּה בֶן חוֹרִין לִבָּטֵל מִמֶּנָּה" which can be directly translated to English as: "It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it."

The song Yedidi (ידידי השכחת) is a medieval Sephardic piyyut written by Jewish philosopher Judah Halevi in the early 12th century.
