Orchid – Heretic – Review

Heretic (Nuclear Blast Records)
release date: 9/7/2012

Orchid are becoming one of the most name-dropped bands in the doom revival (try not to snicker at that oxymoron), and for good reason. Bold visuals, manly vocals, tasty riffs, songs with room to breathe, classy keyboards, and lyrics as cosmic and timeless as any on Masters of Reality. No mindless tribute or filler genre band here, this San Francisco love and live the dark vibe. Dig “Heretic” off their four-song EP.
