ISRAEL’S ORPHANED LAND PLAY SHUNI FORTRESS
Over the weekend Israel’s progressive metal masters ORPHANED LAND played for
over 1,000 people in a Shuni Fortress for over two and a half hours. They
performed both an acoustic and an electric set, and performed tracks from
all three of their albums (track list below). The band was impressed to see
the crowd respond overwhelmingly to tracks from their Century Media debut
2004’s Mabool. Vocalist Kobi Farhi commented on their enthusiastic
performance: “I was in ecstasy! I was singing the first half of the first
song in the electric set, when I realized that the microphone was on the
other side of the stage. I couldn't understand why I couldn’t hear myself;
it became the joke of the show
. The crowed threw loads of candy at us (as
Jewish usually do in Bar Mitzvah since it was Orphaned Land's Bar Mitzvah).
In the acoustic set we were dressed in white clothing and then for the
electric we changed into black, the switch of the vibes was so perfect!” The
band brought along 6 female singers to perform the choral arrangements for
“Building The Ark”, a cellist, and other guest musicians. Pictures from the
extended performance can be viewed here
