Question about Orphaned Land's near decade long break...

[The Metal Pigeon]

Thats awesome, I'm hoping to have some sort of creative breakthrough myself...real life makes it hard though. I must say that you guys made a good choice by signing on with Century Media (or they made a good choice by signing you), because they have a certain amount of distribution power here in the United States that other metal record labels don't have just yet. I work in a music store here in Houston and while your albums are not physically in most stores here, it can be easily ordered.

Yes- Century Media is really getting this stuff so much easier accessible.
I remembered that I had to wait for around 3 months when Sahara was first on the market. It was nearly impossible to get the cd imported and there was no info at all- pre internet times people.....

Btw, note that we were signed by CM during the break (late 90's).

i think this is the description of great determination.OPRHANED LAND rules!

CM knows great music- a lot of bands I like were on this label at one time
> Moonspell, Tiamat, Rotting Christ, the Gathering, Lacuna Coil etc. etc.

Couldn't agree more, and I've gained respect for CM after reading that they signed OL and held on to their contract even though they had nothing to release for more than five years...there's a sign of commitment to an artist. Speaking of CM, have there been any talks about them rereleasing the first two albums?

 

[The Metal Pigeon]

eh whats the point - you can order them through the main orphaned land website anyway. I mean, it might be good for the band to actually have these albums easily available for fans worldwide, but they probably need to concentrate resources on Mabool and future albums. Doesn't re-releasing albums from another record contract/company cost alot of $$$$?

The first two albums are still printed by Holy Records, they are availbvle also through our web store.
