ORCHID! 20 - 30 yrs from now, The new generation will be hailing you dudes as one of the best Classic Stoner Metal Bands of 2000. Some people just don't get it (yet!). I'm a TOTAL SABBATH FAN from the 70's, and the truth is, Sabbath is more appreciated now than ever before, which should only place more limelight on your most awesome talents. Keeping the Classic Rock Tradition ALIVE! and in TRUE FORM!
So what if they sound like sabbath... That's certainly not a bad thing, yeah, the SG, the minimal drum kit, the bass playing and even the singer remind me of vintage Sabbath.. Fuck, they're the best new band I've heard in.. I can't remember..
I love the bass style. He brings the low notes forward in the mix by playing high up the neck and although it seems odd to see at first you can really hear how well it works on this track.
I LOVE ORCHID! If you know Black Sabbath, then you'll know their first 5 albums we're the best. Of course, all of their stuff is great, but the first 5 we're something else. It's as if Black Sabbath wrote a "secret" 6th album, and gave it to ORCHID. I mean that in the highest compliment. But it's ORCHID's talent, originality and style playing this "secret" 6th album. Bottom line, this is just some kick ass freakin' music. When I hear Wizard of War, I just want to BLAST this on a 2000 watt system, while my girl is yelling at me, grab my Les Paul, and head bang in her face, while my long hair hits her, and scream "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!!"....Damnit... I think I'm now possessed from listening to ORCHID too much... >:)
rodger deering Yeah Adam Cooper fucking reason. and I would say even more, sabotage is the best album of black sabbath(I listen all of their discography). I'm sick of seeing all the people is limited as the 5th album. and for information "wizard of war" is a little bit a rippoff of "Symptom of the Universe"
Malefics arvm ill take sabotage over sabbath bloody sabbath any day. I think orchid are very open about how they are inspired by Sabs. I agree that this is a bit like symptom with some children of the grave thrown in for good measure
You know i think it's weird that i like Orchid so much whereas i find all their rippoff of Sabbath. Black Sabbath is like one my favorite band ever and i find a band who wants to be more sabbath than sabbath and i like it. normally i will criticize their lack of originality but i can't do it.
Malefics arvm yeah. for me its because they really seem to capture that sabbath feel and spirit, but actually add to it rather than just stealing it. You can tell that they worship sabs. Their songs are also very good and would sit well as actual sabs songs. Thats why I prefer them to other sabs copyists
My fav new band. Love Sabbath if they sound this good I'm all in. Original in the Black Sabbath pocket sound,,,, love it. I will listen to everything they do.
I don't hice a shit if they're trying or not to be luke Black Sabbath anytime that I enjoy listening theyr EXCELLENT job! I love this band and I'm thankful we can enjoy a band like this nowadays
I don't know why people are acting like this is the first band to sound like Sabbath. Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Electric Wizard, Sleep, Trouble, Cathedral, Candlemass, etc. All of these bands have tried to capture that sabbath sound. Get over it Sabbath influenced a lot of bands. Stop acting like these guys are the first.
Orchid always sound like Black Sabbath... and I am damned glad of it! These guys recreate the sound of original Black Sabbath far better than Black Sabbath do. Some people might call it derivative or "copying" Black Sabbath, but I consider it a heartfelt tribute.
I don't see how people who're already into Sabbath wouldn't be able to appreciate this. Sure there's an obvious Sabbath influence but Is that a bad thing? Especially with bands like this (Sheavy, etc.) that do it so well. I'm thankful for bands like this who offer a fresh take on that classic sound, it just goes to show what an impact It had & it's only gonna continue for generations to come. If i had a choice to listen to this or some Nu-metal crap i would choose this.
If ORCHID were a Classic Hard Rock band back in the 70's, every one here who disses this band but loves Sabbath would be creaming in their panties for the opportunity of hearing another awesome 21st century release (e.g. BS-13). Because they're new doesn't mean their bad. It just means, this band (like you) loves Sabbath enough to carry on the tradition, but with state of the art vigor and youth. IMO, ORCHID is so far the best reminiscence sound of OZZY/TONY/GEEZER & BILL WARD. Hands Down!
Who cares that they are obviously heavily influenced by Sabbath! They still have a sound of they're own! I might add that, to be compared to Black Sabbath and still have you're own sound incorporated. That's one hell of a task my friends! Hell of a band!
What happened to these guys? Absolutely loved Capricorn and Mouth of Madness albums (as well as the EP's). I honestly thought they were going to be huge!!!
It does sound like Sabotage era Sabbath. Namely Symptom of the Universe. And the vocal line a lot like Hole in the Sky. But the song still rules. That riff is absolutely getting it done!
Along with Kadavar, Red fang, Elder and Black Space Riders; These guys are just the fuckin' peak of music at the moment. I know a lot of metal heads that say there isn't any current bands worth listening to, I shortly thereafter beat them with a copy of Capricorn. Rock the fuck on you legends.
Since the new Sabbath album almost certainly won't sound like this, and since I've played all my old Sabbath albums to death, I'll settle for new tracks by the new blood like Orchid. Excellent sound and riffing. 'We love you all!!!' \m/
Dis MoFo is the Best Song Black Sabbath NEVER did! When I heard this song on the XM channel I thought it WAS a long forgotten British Band from the '70's! At the Sabbath concert last night I was recommending this band to some the concert goers.
Ozzy moves so much more on stage, I know you know that. That pose with the microphone its from Ozzy, but Theo just do that almost all the time. Black Sabbath its the best, but this band is of our generation, and its great. Orchid are returning the 70's.
They show their love for Sabbath but still have their own original and unique sound. That's what i love.
it sure is man! We can't stop listening to it ourselves.
Love the throwback "Paranoid"-esque music video. Taking Black Sabbath legend to the next level with this song!
Sabbath worship are pretty high on this.
Yeah, the bassplayer even plucks over the fingerboard Geezer-style.
Reminds me of 'Symptom of the Universe'
Experiencing a Sabbath high from this one too!
No shit?
Really nice song.Reminds me of Symptons of The Universe by Black Sabbath.The riff is sweet..................)
Jimi Hendrix Yeah, that's what I thought, right down to the vocal melody.

agreed!
yea man totally agree bro!!!+griz
Who's complaining? 👺
Wow, this looks so original, I think I've never seen something like this in my life.
The singer's got that Ozzy thing going on. It do jammeth for sure. :)
They absolutely rock live. I've seen them in a club in Stuttgart earlier this year.
we need more bands like this
Orchid is the new star for doom fans. Mouths of Madness is a great album.
can't stop listening to The Mouth Of Madness, what an amazing album!
These guys are the reincarnation of '70's-era Black Sabbath! I could almost swear that Tony Iommi is playing guitar on many of their songs!
I love the bass style. He brings the low notes forward in the mix by playing high up the neck and although it seems odd to see at first you can really hear how well it works on this track.
Awesome song Orchid. I hope you make many more albums!!

rodger deering agree but the 6th sabbath album (sabotage) was pretty damned good. Lets say 7th eh? lol

Great band. I like this song very much.
Топеч! Отличный трек. Спасибо, Orchid
This is the song that got me hooked on Orchid!
Im so happy that this good old raw 70´s heavy rock is coming back so many bands new and old making awesome shit lately :D

These guys are going to be legends one day!
Love this song!
I wonder if these guys are Black Sabbath fans?

Off course

Their dads are huge metalheads.
Iommi's fans, more accerted
The bass actually reminds me of G Butler
That's a great parallel to draw with this song.
So genius i ´m proud of bands of this kind ROCK´N´ROLL FOREVER
"Take me through the centuries to superso💥 .WAIT, hold up!" 🤯

Since the new Sabbath album almost certainly won't sound like this, and since I've played all my old Sabbath albums to death, I'll settle for new tracks by the new blood like Orchid. Excellent sound and riffing.
'We love you all!!!' \m/
Finally! Someone who gets it.
Back from the 70s to teach a new generation what good rock should sound like
Seens like symptom of the universe - Black Sabbath. I like it.
sick!!
Amo esta canción... Sabbath al 100%
Офигительно! Всё четко по началу Саббатам 70-ых, цепляет только так, 5 балов!))
You guys need to come play in Australia!
thanks mr, i found some great songs among those bands you mentioned
Monster riff!
Wow. Just wow. Reminds me of Blue Cheer.
reminds me of "Frost Hammer" by "High on Fire".. good stuff!
This is the first time I have heard proper heavy metal in a long time.
Dis MoFo is the Best Song Black Sabbath NEVER did! When I heard this song on the XM channel I thought it WAS a long forgotten British Band from the '70's! At the Sabbath concert last night I was recommending this band to some the concert goers.

Good sound !
He holds the microphone and headbangs equal as Ozzy.
symptom of the Wizard of war :)
nice may have to buy this
POWERFUL!!
Gotta love them trying to redo the Paranoid video take for take.
Super! I bought this album
These guys obviously have good management; Eighteen Foot Stonehenges in the background!!!
I wish there were bands like this here in the US
me encanta ORCHID!!!
The perfect combination between black sabbath and stoner metal, awsome
great! welcome back!
symptom of the universe...
Que banda nervosa!!!
symptom of the universe!
Symptom of the orchid
..."where the banshees live, and they do live well."
Great video, great song

Anyone have any idea what happened to these guys? Great band, great song!
