ORPHANED LAND Guitarist Breaks Clavicle

November 12, 2008

Israel's ORPHANED LAND has issued the following update:

"ORPHANED LAND guitarist Yossi Sassi-Sa'aron broke his left clavicle and is expected a healing period of at least six weeks, in which he'll probably won't be able to play the guitar at all. The accident happened during a relaxful sabbath in the park, while Sassi-Sa'aron was walking on his hands during a game, tripped and landed badly on his left shoulder. The specific fraction is in the left clavicle near the acromion, and as a result his left arm was fixed to his chest and he cannot move it, and of course cannot play musical instruments. Friends reported he's suffering from severe pain, yet he's constantly smiling as usual, and he is laughing with his doctors. Sassi-Sa'aron composes and plays on various instruments in ORPHANED LAND, including bouzouki, oud, saz, electric and classic guitars."

ORPHANED LAND is continuing work on its long-awaited album, "The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR", for a tentative 2009 release. The group's vocalist Kobi Farhi said, "We have more than 90 minutes of written music. We don't like to repeat ourselves, so do not expect a 'Mabool Vol. 2'! Of course, the female vocals and the oriental instruments will be there as always, but 'ORwarriOR' is different and I can say for sure that it is more extreme, powerful and less progressive. Still, like all our albums, it is ORPHANED LAND and you'll all notice that. Watch out for the first single, which is the opener of the album called: 'Sapari'."

Fan-filmed video footage of ORPHANED LAND's April 12, 2008 performance at club Tochka in Moscow, Russia can be viewed below. Photos from the concert are available at The MetalList.
