Most influential metal band in the Middle East, Orphaned Land will meet their Turkish fans in 4 concerts.
Israeli heavy metal band Orphaned Land fuse progressive, doom, and death metal as well as Middle-Eastern folk music and Arabic traditions in a form of Oriental metal. Each album has its concept related to two extremes: a meeting of east and west, past and present, light and darkness, and God and Satan.
The band’s first album was Sahara (1994) which was originally released as a demo. The second album, El Norra Alila (1996), had many eastern/oriental influences. The third album, Mabool: The Story of the Three Sons of Seven released in 2004. It tells the story of three sons who try to warn humanity of a flood coming as punishment for their sins.
With its brand-new, fourth album, entitled “The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR” (2010), an opus that took five years of hard work, ORPHANED LAND has created an epic manifest beyond any political or religious agenda. They spent over 600 hours in the studio cooperating with The Arabic Orchestra of Nazareth, using multilingual vocals (e.g. English, Hebrew, Arabic, Yemenite), countless Oriental as well as other traditional instruments such as: saz, santur, arabian flutes, middle-eastern percussions, cumbus, bouzouki, violins, various kinds of guitars, piano.
