ORPHANED LAND – reveal cover art and first details for new album “Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs”

Oriental metal pioneers, ORPHANED LAND, will release their new studio album “Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs” on January 26th, 2018 via Century Media Records. Jens Bogren once again took over mixing and mastering duties of what turned out to be the band’s best and biggest production so far. “Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs” will feature a guest appearance of guitar virtuoso Steve Hackett as well as guest vocal appearances by no other than Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates). The great album artwork was created by Valnoir.

Singer and frontman Kobi Farhi comments: “We are thrilled and so happy to finally reveal you the great artwork of Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs! Our music has always been a combination of anger, tragedy, protest and joy. We can’t wait for you to hear the 13 brand new tracks of this album. As always it will be very eclectic, no song sounds like the other and the whole album is a one big musical journey. We feel that this album takes our feelings to a new level of anger, protest and tragedy. The cover speaks for itself and it was made as tribute to the way governments design their money. Enjoy!”

AMARANTHE Release Remix Of Their Hit Single ‘MAXIMIZE’


Swedish metal outfit Amaranthe have released a remix of their song Maximize. Remixed by upcoming Finnish electronic music producer/ DJ Bliniks, he comments:

“For me heavy metal has been a huge savior in inspiration for the last few years and nowadays I have a massive urge to combine the elements of melodic metal with the heavier side of electronic music. Amaranthe‘s ‘Maximize’ was an amazing experience to remix, because the original was so melodic and uplifting that I already got an amazing idea for a remix after hearing for the first time.

Dubstep is one of my most common genres that I produce and the reason why I decided to go right into the remix with dubstep is because some of the modern dubstep is pretty much inspired by heavy metal, but for some reason that has been somewhat forgotten. This remix also includes some bigroom house and trap elements at the end of the remix, so it’s the most varied remix that I have produced to this day.”
