In January 2012, Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein released a sixth studio album titled Short Songs, which included a covered Orchid's "Destination: Blood". Lars Gotrich, when writing for NPR music credited Orchid alongside bands Pg 99, Circle Takes the Square and Majority Rule as being prominent influences on emotional post-hardcore. Orchid is considered a prominent and quintessential band in screamo. They possess all these characteristics as the undisputed masters they have taught many proselytes, in all of their cynical splendor." Italian site "Emotional Breakdown" gave a positive review of Orchid's compilation album Totality, saying: " are the concentrated essence of the most poignant music you can imagine: the vocal cords that are pulled until they tear, the music sounds dark and desperate. It combines the melodic and poetic approach of post-hardcore and emo with the extremity of powerviolence (a fusion sometimes termed emoviolence) and grindcore. Orchid's musical style, which has primarily been described as hardcore punk and screamo, is highly dissonant, fast and chaotic. Jayson Green, Will Killingsworth, and Geoff Garlock currently play together in the band Ritual Mess. Jayson Green later formed a hardcore punk supergroup named Violent Bullshit, with members of Black Army Jacket and the Fiery Furnaces. They played their final show on July 9, 2002. This is a very personal record for us and we're incredibly excited to have it available digitally here on Bandcamp.The band was formed while Jayson Green, Will Killingsworth, and Brad Wallace were studying at Hampshire College, and Jeff Salane was attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst in early 1998. We also worked with the renowned mastering engineer Alan Douches who brought out the best in Kenny's mixes while retaining the dynamics you hear in the final product. Kenny pushed us in directions we wouldn't have considered and the performances we captured are all the better for it. "Apogee, Perigee" moves effortlessly from crushing rhythms to delicate, intertwined arpeggiated guitars-often within a single song.įor this record, we partnered with producer and engineer Kenny Eaton, recording at his Mystery Ton Studios in rural Maryland. With our sophomore record, we've compiled six songs that explore the theme of isolation and that, we believe, push our arrangements and instrumentation to the extremes: the wall of sound has become more aggressive and anthemic and the quieter passages more delicate and nuanced.įrom the massive, three-guitar assault of album opener, "The Astronaut (Escape Velocity)," to the haunting, suffocating sparseness of the closing "Life in Retrograde," the album weaves together influences ranging from Morricone’s Spaghetti Western soundscapes to DC-infused punk and math rock. ![]()
