To celebrate their 25th anniversary, oriental metal pioneers ORPHANED LAND have released a digital compilation of special versions of some of their most popular songs and previously unreleased material titled “Orphaned Land & Friends”!

Frontman Kobi Farhi comments: “We are very proud to release these amazing collaborations we did with amazing different and various musical heroes of ours such as Steven Wilson, Erkin Oray or Yehuda Poliker. Not to mention that cover we did with friends for Pearl Jam or that amazing Piano cover Moran Magal did to our ORwarriOR song “From Broken Vessels”. These tracks were released only as bonus tracks on our previous albums’ limited editions and some songs were never released officially. Many people were not aware of these amazing versions and we believe that Orphaned Land & Friends’ is something you should all know!”

PREACH And DESECRATE Confirmed for Metal Over Malta III Festival

ALPHA OMEGA Management has a pleasure to announce that two of its roster bands, PREACH and DESECRATE are confirmed for Metal Over Malta III Festival, set to take place on March 10-11, 2017. The festival will be headlined by ORPHANED LAND and CIVIL WAR. Metal over Malta Festival is hosted by another Alpha Omega roster band, WEEPING SILENCE. Facebook event page here.

PREACH, formed in 2006, is a proof of the fact why Swedish metal is held in such a high consideration throughout the world. With their straight forward riffs, melodic hooks and inyourface vocals the band deliver metal as it’s supposed to be. Hard, heavy and passionate! PREACH joined SODOM as main support on their show in Saint Petersburg, on November 4th. Check out the latest PREACH video “Comes To Pass”, released in December 2015:

Formed in 1995, DESECRATE immediately became protagonist in the Italian underground scene. Their debut full-length album “Moonshiny Tales (The Torment and the Rapture)” came out in 1998 via Mephisto Records. Due to several musical disagreements, the band went to hiatus in 2001, but after nine years, in 2010, DESECRATE raised from the ashes again, releasing a new album, “XIII The Death” in 2012, via Inverse Records. The band’s sound has remained faithful to the European matrix death metal of the 90’s aggressive and scratching sonority, with several arrangement innovations which together with the constant use of the piano, create a very personal sound. Recently the band has toured in Italy, having one of the highlights the final show with Dark Tranquillity. DESECRATE‘s latest effort “Orpheus” came out in January 2015, followed by a promotional tour in Italy. DESECRATE‘s song “Nevermore”, from “Orpheus”, will be featuring in the movie, entitled “Stridor”. The film will come out in late January/early February 2017. Also check out “To the Hades and Back” (Official Video):
