Crimson Orchid saw the release of their third studio album recently. This past August 16th they revealed the
Behemoth onto a thralling crowd in Newport news' BUDDAS place.
"a chosen path..." is the title of this new beast. It is a mixture of all the music they have ever done. They blend a brilliant aray of metal genre's to create one wholly unique sound. The new EP, and I use the term loosely, consists of a 3 part story and an additional 7 songs. These seven are of a select grouping of songs that the band still plays
Live from their past albums.
Teaming with their long time friends Coldcast (also from the Newport
Area) they created an
Onslaught of metal that lasted the whole night through. Nearly 400 people came in and out those doors that evening.
It was a massive success and the band could clearly acertain that the new album would go
Down that same path of elations. Not only did the show go well, but the band was able to atain a copy of their preformance (which had been recorded by a fan).
The new album is available for purchase on their main site.
http://www.myspace.com/crimsonorchidband Parts of the album however are availble for download not only on their myspace site, but some 25 or so odd myspace-esque sites as well.
The videos too are slowly being thrown up all over the web including of course, SPIRIT OF METAL.
The band will be seeing some new and welcome faces as they are going to be among a group of featured myspace artists on this Decembers' "metallica" edition of METALEDGE magazine. Many things are undoubtedly in store for this band who continues to
Defy the critics.
Keep an eye out for
Crimson Orchid cause they are fully indie, DIY, and stopping no time in the near or distant future!
