ORPHANED LAND In The Studio With STEVEN WILSON

June 4, 2009

Israel's ORPHANED LAND is continuing work on its highly anticipated new album, "ORwarriOR", due later in the year via Century Media Records.

Commented vocalist Kobi Farhi:"Drums, percussions, bass, all kinds of guitars, violins, piano and oriental instruments (Buzouki, Saz, Cumbus and more) have already been recorded and right now I am recording my vocals which include narrations, clean singing, Arabic chants and growls. Female vocals are being recorded in the coming days, too. Since I sing in so many different ways, this experience is very tough for me and I have to deal with many kinds of atmospheres, styles and languages (including English, Hebrew and Arabic).

"Last week we took a break from the recordings while Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE, OPETH) came to visit us in Israel and had a first session with us in the studio. Steve listened with us to the whole album and mentioned that this is easily our best work so far!

"Steve will do the keyboards and mixing once we have finished recording vocals, which is supposed to happen within the next 2-3 weeks. We are excited to hear the results that will come from Steven's studio and we are sure that together we will be able to deliver a fantastic album for the Middle Eastern metal scene and one of the most interesting and original albums the worldwide metal scene has ever known!

"We are looking forward to sharing this album with you and can't wait to hit the road again to play live for you!"

Upcoming ORPHANED LAND shows:

Aug. 06 - Pevnost, Josefov, Czech Republic - Brutal Assault
Sep. 12 - Atlanta, GA - ProgPower USA
