It all started on facebook. There I heard of this band called Orphaned Land, from Israel. I was reading about them and slowly became interested. The fact that Steven Wilson worked with them, helped with that. I watched some clips and visited the website of the band. What really touched me is the fact the band transcends religion and politics and their music actually united jews, christians and muslims.
Then I read the band had a DVD out, with their 20th anniversary show on it. Thanks to Century Media, I am able to bring you my review of this very impressive band and DVD.
