Petah Tikva (פתח תקווה), Israel (1991 – present)

Day after day, in every news program on this planet, the Middle-East conflict is a major topic and it is one of the reasons the world we all live in is a world apart. For decades every attempt to make peace between Israel and the Arabian world has remained futile and the death toll keeps rising. Where politicians have failed, a mere metal band daringly labelling its style “Jewish Muslim Metal” or “Middle Eastern Progressive Metal” has actually achieved the unimaginable and united Israeli and Arabian people in spite of all their cultural, religious and political differences and conflicts!

Israel’s ORPHANED LAND is probably the only band from this country that has managed to succeed at building up a huge following among Muslims and Arabian people. These fans communicate freely via the band’s social networking pages, some of them even proudly bearing ORPHANED LAND tattoos, even though that puts them at huge risk in their home countries! Unfortunately, the ongoing political and military struggles still prevent ORPHANED LAND from playing in the home countries of its Arabian fans and friends.

As recent movies like “A Headbanger’s Journey” and “Global Metal” (in which ORPHANED LAND was featured) showed: the loudest, heaviest and most controversial music on earth can act as a universal language, bridging between opposites and overcoming all the obstacles that exist in our hearts and minds. The African musician Fela Kuti once said: “music is the weapon of the future” - ORPHANED LAND is the living proof of that!

My musical analysis of the trailer: - 0:00-0:20 - Shlomit's famous A'Salk plus Amasefferish atmospheric effects; 0:20-0:29 - "From Broken Vessels", guitar and keys and vocals sound 100% like Steven Wilson's stuff; 0:29-0:44 - Mabool is back; 0:44-1:03 - Mabool is really back; 1:03-1:15 "From Broken Vessels" again; 1:15-1:43 - the richest rendition of "Sapari", with wonderful Shlomit's voice and Arabic violin.

Great trailer indeed. I feel it's close to Mabool and certainly with some El Norra Alila components, plus some songs even "lighter" then Mabool.

No leaks as longs as Century Media is concerned :p BTW, according to Century Media in Europe you will be able to pre-order ORwarriOR two weeks before release date.

I'm sure all, if not most of us are wanting something "different". Right?

Well, I'm not expecting them to make something like Mabool. Mabool is a fucking masterpiece, but we don't need another one. So, I'm pretty sure it's going to be, at least, different.

Ah, I preferred "El Nora Alila" and "Sahara" anyway. So we'll see really.

Fuu, can't wait for some samples or something. Maybe we'll get some previews around Christmas time? That would make one hell of an awesome gift. ;D
