Orphaned Land will return to North America to further support their sensational new album, 'Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs'. The band have been enlisted as direct support to Faroese Viking Metallers Týr on their upcoming tour this May along with support from Ghost Ship Octavius and Aeternam. Stay tuned for dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
Orphaned Land mastermind and frontman Kobi Fahri tells us:
