Black orchid empire – lore – album review
Over the past decade Black Orchid Empire have consistently delivered hard-hitting records which showcase a complex sound that is still somehow pure and simple in its delivery.
With gargantuan riffs, elegant melodies, an insatiable groove and killer hooks, it’s criminal the lack of attention that they have garnered. New album ‘LORE’ however is once again ready to knock down doors and make a scene.
Those riffs are heavier; the lyrics are made to be sung with passion and the album itself is unrelenting in quality as the band continue their path of growth.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘TRISTAR’
Each album as well as showing their evolution, also takes on its own identity. On ‘LORE’, we find the band tackling some of their favourite myths and legends with their insightful lyricism. This is after all a band seeking to get you thinking and delving deeper into the songs and these twelve tracks will do just that.
The likes of ‘Angelfire’ and ‘Tristar’ may shine bright, but this is another consistent and unified record that is greater than the sum of its parts.
At the end of the day though, this is also one of those albums that no review will do justice, you simply need to turn the volume up and brace for impact.
