Kobi, I think it's safe to say that you and your bandmates will be in for a warm welcome here!
I was exchanging emails and thoughts with Glenn last year about bands I could possibly sponsor for PPUSA this year, and, knowing my diverse, progressive tastes, he mentioned Orphaned Land. "I've heard the name, but haven't heard them yet."
"Dude, go out and pick up
Mabool right away!"
So, of course, I did. Hell, this IS Glenn we're talkin' about.
Mabool almost instantly became my 2nd favorite CD of last year (beaten out only by Ayreon, and that's TWO CDs, with a stack of people involved, some of them friends o' mine)....and Orphaned Land quickly became one of the bands I most expected to be sponsoring this year, from the lists I was sending to Glenn.
When I heard I was sponsoring Therion instead, I thought "Uh-oh. This might mean no Orphaned Land......" --But at 8pm on Monday, what I was hoping to see on the ProgPower site appeared. I was 'estatic.'
We've been playing songs from
Mabool regularly on
WREKage, too. It's Atlanta's only real metal radio show, every Friday evening, with a few thousand listeners.
This great news about you playing PP gives us a good excuse to play a lot more, too. :Spin:
