Orphaned Land have shared a second single and live video for “Birth Of The Three (The Unification)” off their upcoming live album “A Heaven You May Create”, which is out on December 1st via Century Media Records and now available for pre-order HERE.
”Birth Of The Three” is the opener of the classic and most successful album of Orphaned Land – “Mabool”. It tells the story of 3 friends of the band who were doing seances in the 90es at their home shelter and almost got crazy or killed from the strength of it. “Mabool”, which means the flood, was written based on the biblical story and re-arranged to include those 3 friends of the band to be the heroes, and as if the story reflects on today’s reality of humanity.
