Kobi Farhi, leadman for Israel’s ORPHANED LAND, chats with Hank Pearl of The Daily Rock before the band’s September 17th performance at Reggie’s Rock Club in Chicago. Check out the video interview in two parts below:

Orphaned Land recently completed an extremely successful run across North America in support of their opus The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR. Now the band is set to celebrate their 20th anniversary in their homeland of Israel, revealing two very special performances on December 9th and 10th at Reading 3 in Tel Aviv.

Orphaned Land will feature special guests on both shows and their will be film crews on hand to document this incredible experience for an upcoming DVD release.

Performing with the band at both shows will be none other than the legendary Stephen Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE). He will be joined on December 9th by PARADISE LOST’s Greg Mackintosh and December 10th by iconic Israeli singer YEHUDA POLIKER.

The pioneers of Middle Eastern heavy metal have certainly pulled out all of the stops for these upcoming shows. Stay tuned for more info.
