ORwarriOR in the media

[Morticia NL.]

This thread is meant to share all your links with reviews, interviews, newspaper clippings and everything in the media that has to do with "The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR"

And to keep it easier for the newbies and guests, I propose to keep this thread nice and tidy which means no posts with comments on the articles unless it is something important.

Here are pictures of the newborn- and congratulations to the parents! (added 08-01-2010)

I kick off with an article in a Turkish newspaper

A review on Metal-Temple:
http://www.metal-temple.com/review.asp?id=4178

 

[Morticia NL.]

This one of the 2 major metal magazines in Holland. For those who don't read Dutch: The headline reads:" bringing people closer through metal"
and in the cd review they compare Shlomit Levi to Anneke van Griersbergen (ex The Gathering) this is by way of giving her a huge compliment!
Also they state " Orphaned Land succeed to use/mix their oriental influences in a way that is both pleasing to occidental as well as oriental ears".

The interviewer also states in the article that Kobi is one of the most passionate people he ever spoke with when it comes to his music, lyrics, mission and plans.

Legacy Magazine, Germany Issue January 2010
They got top marks and are declared "album of the month"

 

[Morticia NL.]

This is a very well written piece from P magazine! Try to find it on the newsstand in Belgium (and I guess some parts of Holland). It is 4 pages long (-: and written in Dutch. The second page is a compilation of the pics and quotes of the 4 page article. I translated the headlines and quotes in English so everyone can understand what it is about.

The first page reads:
"The mission of the Jewish metal band Orphaned Land"
An Israeli metal band that consists of Jews and Muslims (ahem, a mistake in the article here) is not something you will find every day. Orphaned Land manages to succeed where politicians fail: bringing people together. Where else can you find a crowd of enthousiast Muslims who sing in Hebrew and Jews singing Koran songs at the top of their voices?

 

[Postmodernist]

A great collection of scans, bedankt. Hm, I'm trying to convince one fellow in Stockholm to write an article about ORwarriOR at his zine.

In that interview Kobi said something about Russia, but i don't understand what did he say))

 

[Vanh]

Judging from the covers, french magazines Metallian and RockHard feature OL, but I wasn't able to take a look inside, both were cellophane-wrapped.


that cover with the poodle is just .. weird.

 

[BC-A]

Vahn, we already got some bits an pieces thanks to Olivier
the interviews are very interesting, and the reviews are really good.
May be Nathalie will publish them later on here.

 

[Morticia NL.]

A big thanks you to Ollo-San.
I don't publish the complete article but a 'clipping' I made , because we don't want to piss off the magazines by doing that. We all want them to contine writing about the band!
For your conveniance the most important quotes have been translated to English. (sorry Frenchies, I saw the small mistake I made)

Metallian, France. Compilation!
Read those compliments for Yossi

New interview on Nightfall (french)
http://metal.nightfall.fr/index.php?choix=94&itw=3

Un fansite officiel a été récemment crée, Orphaned Disciples, avec des traductions dans plusieurs langues, avez-vous des projets avec ce site ?

Ce nouveau site web est vraiment bon, je l’ai visité à de nombreuses reprises et nous postons parfois quelques mots pour les fans. Ils ont mis de bonnes choses dessus et il y’a une bonne participation des fans qui coopèrent. Ils proposent également leur propre ligne de merchandising (avec notre approbation bien sûr). En somme je souhaite à l’administrateur bonne chance avec ce projet, car il est à notre bénéfice finalement.
