ORPHANED LAND: Quality Bochum Footage Available

December 2, 2010

Quality video footage of Israeli progressive folk metal masters ORPHANED LAND performing the song "Olat Hatamid" on November 28, 2010 at Zeche in Bochum, Germany on during the band's tour with AMORPHIS can be viewed below (courtesy of Orphaned Disciples).

ORPHANED LAND's December 9 and December 10 concerts at Reading 3 in Tel Aviv, Israel will be professionally filmed and recorded for an upcoming DVD release. The band will be joined at both shows by Steven Wilson of PORCUPINE TREE. Also appearing on December 9 will be PARADISE LOST guitarist Greg Mackintosh; famous Israeli singer Yehuda Poliker will perform with ORPHANED LAND on December 10. Poliker reportedly inspired the band to choose the name ORPHANED LAND from the lyrics of one of his songs.

ORPHANED LAND's latest album, "The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR", sold around 600 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at No. 80 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR" was released in Europe on January 25. Mixed by Steven Wilson, who is also responsible for several keyboard parts on the new CD, the effort — which was made available in the U.S. on February 9 via Century Media Records — is a sophisticated concept album which takes ORPHANED LAND's unique brand of exotic, heavy music to soaring new heights in terms of complexity and catchiness. The CD's artwork was created by Zen Two and Native.

On May 22, ORPHANED LAND performed at the Ramat Gan stadium in Tel Aviv as the support act for METALLICA.
