I have Orphaned Land’s new album, The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR, but I haven’t listened to it yet because, uh, I’m a douche bag. But I fully intend to get to it this weekend, and am excited to do so. Gotta support my fellow Jews in metal, y’know?

The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR comes out in Europe on January 25 and in the U.S. on February 9 on Century.
