Orphaned Land All Is One

2013, Israel's breakthrough band Orphaned Land - the pioneers of Oriental metal - have returned with ALL IS ONE. Fans will never hear one Orphaned Land album sound like another. Some patterns on ALL IS ONE are Orphaned Land trademarks, but the band is always open to experimentation. This time out, for example, Farhi's growls are almost non-existent. In addition, the songs as a whole are catchier and shorter compared to previous outings, and more ´in your face`. That said, by no means has the band gone commercial. Not even close. ALL IS ONE was recorded in three different countries: Israel, Turkey and Sweden. Ironically, countries that 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.
