Orphaned Land, the leaders of Middle Eastern metal, just finished their tour with Blind Guardian, as special guests on their Euro Tour 2015. The group has been busy after the latest studio album, All Is One, which was released in 2013: also re-releasing a year ago the 10th anniversary concept album for Mabool.

Metal Shock Finland’s Tarja Virmakari discussed all these topics and more with guitarist Chen Balbus last Tuesday, May 5th, when the pair met at Orphaned Land’s show in Milan. Chen revealed that the band is working on a new album, which is scheduled for release next year.
