Tuesday, January 5, 2010 - New Orphaned Land Song
Orphaned land kick off the New Year with a brand-new track from their upcoming opus The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR.

Singer Kobi Farhi explains: "The track 'Disciples Of The Sacred Oath II' is a heavy song, both musically and lyrically and it is one of the most important tracks of the album by its meaning. Indeed, it calls for a laying down of arms, to realize that the warriors are first of all brothers: 'Lay down your swords, blood and flesh you share'...'Shall we see the end of war, bloodbrothers?' It is definitively the most outspoken text we ever wrote on this subject. Furthermore, as this song contains Arabic lyrics, we would like to dedicate it to our Arab fans and we hope that one day we will sing it together in a show in their home countries!"

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - Orphaned Land issue update
Kobi Farhi, vocalist of Israel's Orphaned Land has posted the following statement regarding the status of the band's follow-up to 2004's Mabool album as well as their participation in the upcoming documentary by Sam Dunn (Metal: A Headbanger's Journey) Global Metal:

"Hello to all the orphans out there! We are happy to inform you that the writing process of our long awaited album, The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR, is about to end soon, we have more than 90 minutes of written music. We don't like to repeat ourselves, so do not expect a Mabool Vol. 2! Of course, the female vocals and the oriental instruments will be there as always, but "ORwarriOR" is different and I can say for sure that it is more extreme, powerful and less progressive. Still, like all our albums, it is Orphaned Land and you'll all notice that. Watch out for the first single, which is the opener of the album called 'Sapari'!

We are also doing the arrangements to finalise the artwork and dates for recordings and production later this year, and we are still looking for the right drummer to fill in for the album.

On another matter, Orphaned Land appears in Sam Dunn's new documentary Global Metal, along with METALLICA, SLAYER, SEPULTURA, X-JAPAN and more, the film is a journey which is exploring the metal scenes in some rather exotic regions of the world, like for example in Dubai, Indonesia, China, Israel, etc.

The orphaned sons of the orient will soon come back to rock you!"

Check out the trailer for Global Metal, which sees Kobi Farhi appear alongside metal legends Tom Araya, Max Cavalera and Lars Ulrich.

An update from Orphaned Land:

"Hello to all the orphans out there, some updates from the Orphaned camp!

We are still in the writing process of our next album, OrwarriOR, we know it takes quite a while, but you all know how complex our latest album, Mabool, was and we want to give you no less than that.

The final result is most important to us and we simply haven't found the formula to produce an album every year.

However, I can assure you that your patience will be rewarded! Right now, to keep the flame burning, we have confirmed a few headline and co-headline shows on some summer festivals and we hope to meet all of you there!

Forever Orphaned.

Tour dates:
