“Just a bit before finishing our writing process for a brand new album we will hit the roads just one more time to celebrate our 25th band anniversary with a special show and a very special unique setlist from ALL our albums! Be there! For ORIENTAL METAL GALORE! See you all very soon!”
Orphaned Land: The pioneers of Oriental Metal from Israel will celebrate their 25 th band anniversary. They have been building bridges all over the world ever since with their experimental Hebrew and Arabic infused Metal. From acoustic traditional instruments to full orchestral, the band knows how to capture the audience from start to finish! They will celebrate their 25 years band anniversary with a special set of their outstanding history taking you to a journey into the past, today and into the future.
Voodoo Kungfu: Introducing ‘The Must see” band of 2016. True World Metal from China. Traditional Asian music infused metal. Throat-singing and the screams from thousands of tortured souls. Morin Khuur to full orchestral arrangements. Intensely dark, heavy and damn right impressive. You do not want to be to one that misses out on seeing them on their first ever European Tour!
Imperial Age: Aor is the Russian composer of our time. Imperial Age’s Symphonic Russian Folk drenched Metal is undeniably bombastic as hell, yet brittle at times. They are on their way to becoming one of the big names in Symphonic Metal for sure!

Orphaned Land’s latest album “All Is One” was released in North America on June 25 [one day earlier internationally] via Century Media Records. The cover artwork for the follow-up to 2010’s “The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR” was created by the French artist Metastazis [Paradise Lost, As I Lay Dying, Sonne Adam, Watain] by perfectly incorporating the three biggest religious symbols into one piece of art.
“All Is One” was mixed by Jens Bogren [James Labrie, Devin Townsend Project, Opeth] and was recorded in three different countries: Israel, Turkey and Sweden. Ironically, these countries are Jewish, Muslim and Christian, respectively, which strengthens the Orphaned Land message of unity through music. Over 40 musicians were used to flesh out the sound of “All Is One”, including 25 choir singers and eight classical violin, viola and cello players from Turkey.
