[EN] Chen Balbus – Orphaned Land

Chen Balbus / Orphaned Land / WOA 2016

On Friday I had the chance to interview Chen, who plays in the Oriental-Metal band Orphaned Land.

I first heard about them in the documentary “Global Metal” and have always loved their open approach — towards music AND people.

We talked about his sound philosophy, “unusual” instruments and the music scene and venues in Israel.

We left out the obvious topic, for which Chen was thankful in a way, because he gets of course asked questions about politics all the time.

The conversation is featured in full length and uncut (if you dont count a five second pause in which I looked at my notes)

Thanks to Chen and Tal and all of Orphaned Land management for their support.
