Have they really been around that long?
The Oriental-folk metallers have announced that they will be releasing a new album in the form of a concept later this year. The album will be called ‘Kna’an‘ and will be based a biblical story…
Probably best explained by the band themselves:
“Kna’an is a project that was born in the head of the Memmingen’s Landestheater director – Walter Wayers. Wayers wrote a complete new play with his modern perspective about the familiar biblical story of Abraham in the land of Kna’an and was looking for someone to fit in writing the soundtrack and songs for this purpose. That’s how a co-production between Kobi Farhi (Orphaned Land) and Erez Yohanan (Amaseffer) was born.
“Kobi & Erez, with the help of Orphaned Land’s members, composed this special soundtrack consisting ballads and metal songs about all the characters and inner conflicts of the heroes in this complex episode, a story that still reflects till this day the three Abrahamic religions.”
Well it certainly sounds interesting – metal and bible haven’t always been the best of friends, but it is quite metal to defy modern standards. So we wait for August 26th to see what the fuss is about when the album is released via Century Media.
