Orphaned Land is celebrating it's 30th anniversary in 2020
Being the pioneers of Oriental-Metal, metal with Middle Eastern influences, releasing 6 albums and 1 live DVD
It is time to salute this genre and this band for making the metal scene bigger, wider and much more colour and peaceful
One of the most revolutionary bands in the history of heavy music, Orphaned Land are an unstoppable forceFormed in Israel in 1991, these self-proclaimed 'Oriental metal' artisans have spent the last 26 years working tirelessly to use their creative endeavours as a means to spread a positive and peaceful messageOver the course of five conceptually deep and musically ingenious albums, the band have been true to their word, uniting fans across the Middle East and beyond, regardless of nation, face or faith

Hugely respected in the world of heavy music - the band won UK magazine Metal Hammer's 'Global Metal' award in 2014 - Orphaned Land have also been recognised for their tireless contribution to bringing people together, accruing three major international peace awards along the wayMeanwhile, fans have long been campaigning to see Orphaned Land awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, with many thousands already signing an online petitionWith fans spread across the globe, not least a diehard fan-base across the Arab world, the band's quest for truth, love and hope has clearly made a remarkable impact, to the extent that modern-prog-legend Steven Wilson has proclaimed them to be one of the greatest metal bands on the planet

"I would say that the Orphaned Land members are the most famous Israelis in the Arab world," states frontman and founder member Kobi Farhi"Those achievements, the peace awards we've received and the fact that we're doing a better job than our own foreign ministry, maybe it all means that we are the true ambassadors for our countryWe are the ones creating a dialogue and friendship through music

It seems safe to say that Orphaned Land are far from the average metal bandIn 2018 they will once again prove the uplifting and unifying power of their extraordinary musicSeveral years in the making, Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs marks another high watermark for Kobi and his band matesInspired by the writings of Plato and the thwarted aspirations of peaceful revolutionaries throughout history, it's a wholesale return to the conceptual depths and musical intricacy of earlier records like 2010's Steven Wilson-produced The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriORVeering from epic brutality to ornate theatricality, armed with an astonishing array of inspired melodies and euphoric crescendos, Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs is simply the finest and most powerful album the band have producedMost importantly, it is an album fuelled by righteous anger at the state of humanity in 2017
"We are angry, yes, with governments, the media and all the brainwashing you can think of," Kobi states"We are trapped in a system that simply became smarter

It just /looks/ like freedomThe emperors are still being emperors, and no matter how far humanity has gone with technology or science or anything else, when it comes to how one human being treats another, we are still at the same placeWe are being drugged by media and gossip that keeps us far away from those things that are really important
We read and know more about Kim Kardashian's ass than kids that are dying in Africa, just because there is no clean water for them to drink, Einstein once said: The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything, we are the ones who are afraid of the light, like the cave men of Plato, like the sons of Israel that didn't want to leave their life of slavery in Egypt."
With guest appearances from prog-rock-legend Steve Hackett (ex-Genesis) and metal luminaries Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates/The Lurking Fear), Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs is an artistic tour- de-force from a band with a formidable and furious sense of purpose
"When I'm writing music with the band, I've always been trying to figure out why humanity is unable to break out from the cycle of wars and bloodshed and ego," Kobi muses"It's not due to a lack of solutionsThere are many solutionsThe biggest problem is that people don't want to face those problemsOur education system teach us about trigonometry but not about human behaviours, we learn about a never
