Sounds Like "The sound of dark brooding metallic precision - Grand sweeping themes shrouded with intense complexity. Virtuosic prowess coupled with an innate melodic sense. Atmospheric canvasses echo musical expressionism and human emotion of the highest accolade - This is the sound of Black Orchid."

   About Black Orchid - auditioning for keyboardists
Biography

Black Orchid began in January 2007 formed by guitarist/song writer Justin Hartwig formerly of Australian gothic metal band Chalice. After 9 years and 4 international releases (“Chronicles Of Dysphoria” (2000), “An Illusion To The Temporary Real” (2001), “Augmented” (2003) & “The Calm That Was The Storm” (2006) on Modern Invasion Music), Chalice members Sean Graetz, Simon Henderson and Mat Enright joined by keyboardist Gareth Chin and vocalist Abby Skye completed the newly formed band.

With the experience gained from supporting artists such as Opeth, Mayhem, Leaves’ Eyes and touring overseas, the members of Black Orchid endeavour to present their music to the world stage through the release of their debut recording Inertia. Incorporating the passion of Nightwish, the drama of Opeth and the atmospherics of Pink Floyd, Black Orchid’s “Inertia” combines all the right elements for a band on the verge of great things.

Biographie

Black Orchid voit le jour en janvier 2007, à l'initiative de Justin Hartwig - guitariste/auteur-compositeur, ancien membre du groupe de métal Australien, Chalice. 9 ans et 4 albums après (“Chronicles of Dysphoria" en 2000, “An Illusion To The Temporary Real” en 2001, “Augmented” en 2003 et “The Calm That Was The Storm” en 2006 - sous le label Modern Invasion Music) Sean Graetz, Simon Henderson et Mat Enright, eux aussi ex-membres de Chalice, rejoints par Gareth Chin (clavier) et Abby Skye (chanteur), complètent la formation initiale.

Grâce à l'expérience acquise non seulement en suivant des groupes comme Opeth, Mayhem ou Leaves' Eyes mais aussi lors de tournées à l'étranger, les membres de Black Orchid s'efforcent de présenter leur musique à la scène musicale mondiale, notamment avec le lancement d'Inertia. Mélangeant la passion de Nightwish, l'émotion d'Opeth et l'univers planant de Pink Floyd, "Inertia des Black Orchid possède tous les éléments pour voguer vers le succès et offrir à son public une palette d'émotions et d'univers musicaux différents.

Biografie

Black Orchid hat sich im Januar 2007 durch den Gitarristen/Songwriter Justin Hartwig aus der früheren Australischen Gothik/Metal-Band Chalice formiert. Die alte Chalice-Formation Sean Graetz, Simon Henderson und Mat Enright wurden nach neun Jahren und vier internationalen Veröffentlichungen (“Chronicles Of Dysphoria” (2000), “An Illusion To The Temporary Real” (2001), “Augmented” (2003) und “The Calm That Was The Storm” (2006) bei Modern Invasion Music), durch Keyboarder Gareth Chin und Sänger Abby Skye vervollständigt.

Aufgrund der Erfahrung, die Mitglieder von Black Orchid als Support von Opeth, Mayhem, Leaves’ Eyes und durch zahlreiche Auftritte in Übersee gesammelt haben, wollen Black Orchid nun mit ihrem Debutalbum "Inertia" die Weltbühne erobern. Dieses Album vereint die Leidenschaft von Nightwish, die Dramatik von Opeth und die atmosphärischen Elemente von Pink Floyd und enthält damit genau die richtige Mischung für eine Band, die am Anfang von etwas ganz Großem steht.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
