Looking back, we feel so proud we succeeded to extend the metal scene from the well-known American, South American, European & Scandinavian scenes, we made it wider when we started the ‘Oriental Metal’ genre and introduced metal from the Middle East to the world, since 1991. Cheers for the next 30 years!“ World famous stars commented on the musical work of the band. These are only a few statements from the past: Kirk Hammett (Metallica) “Orphaned Land are singing about the troubles in the Middle East and I really like what they are doing!” Ozzy Osbourne “The Best Hardrock band came out of the Middle East” Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) “One of the best metal bands not just in Israel, but in the whole world” Steve Hackett (Genesis) “Orphaned Land combines an operatic quality and world music exotica with driving rock sensibility” Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) “What keeps me so thrilled about it is this perfect blend of different musical cultures and the constant wave of emotions these guys have woven together in a stroke of genius. All of their work is a strong statement for humanity”  “30 Years Of Oriental Metal” will be available as Ltd. 8CD Box Set including a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity and can be pre-ordered HERE https://orphanedland.lnk.to/30YearsOfOrientalMetal as of now.
