(CNN) -- Two Israeli bands, one Jewish and one Arab, are joining together in "metal brotherhood" to spread a message of peace through rock 'n roll. Arab group Khalas (Arabic for "Enough") and Jewish band Orphaned Land are heading out on an 18-day European tour that they hope will foster tolerance between the two sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict. "We want to share the stage together, we want to show co-existence," said Kobi Farhi, Orphaned Land's vocalist. The bands will also share a tour bus for three weeks. What more perfect example of co-existence, asks Farhi. "We will snore at each other, we will do laundry together, we will make coffee for each other," he said.

Apart from handful of cities that the government designates "mixed," where a minority of @placeholder lives alongside a majority of Jews, the two groups live in separate communities.
