Info for Learning To Dissolve

Learning To Dissolve‘ ist das Ziel einer Reise, die mit dem 2017er Album ‚Sounds of Loss‘ begann. Von Anfang an waren ORTHODOX ein absolutes Aushängeschild, das Riffs, die auf einer Slipknot-Platte nicht fehl am Platz wären, mit Easterlings unverblümten, Jonathan Davis-ähnlichen Schreien kombinierte. Wie bei ihren klanglichen Brüdern von Knocked Loose oder Vein. FM sind die Einflüsse der 90er und 00er Jahre zwar vorhanden, jedoch huldigen ORTHODOX ihren Einflüssen nicht nur, sondern übertreffen sie sogar. ‚Von Anfang an haben wir unsere eigene Richtung eingeschlagen, unabhängig davon, was andere dachten‘, sagt Adam. ‚Wir sind nicht damit aufgewachsen, Hardcore zu hören. Wir sind mit Bands wie Linkin Park und System of a Down aufgewachsen.‘ Mit 'Learning To Dissolve' haben sich diese Einflüsse zu einem Sound verfeinert, der eindringlich und unvergesslich ist, vom Eröffnungsstück 'Feel It Linger' bis zum persönlichen und akustischen Zusammenbruch des Schlussstücks 'Voice In The Choir'.

"Man muss sich als New-School-Metallic Hardcore-Fan (was für ein Wort…) auf die Musik von ORTHODOX einlassen und sich die vertrackte Welt der Band erschließen, ehe man seine finstere Freude an "Learning To Dissolve" haben kann. Diese hält dann aber umso länger an. Guter Stoff für Freunde von Integrity, Harm´s Way, Nails oder auch Ringworm." (Andreas Schiffmann, musikreviews.de)

ORTHODOX

ORTHODOX
has blazed a trail of anger, unease and brokenness that hasn’t just defined the Nashville, Tennessee-born band but brought hardcore itself to a new, disturbing place. Revolver Magazine stated about the band’s 2020 sophomore LP, Let It Take Its Course, “A straight-up bone-chilling metal album that sounds like the music [ORTHODOX vocalist] Adam Easterling has always wanted to make, but is presented with the authenticity that his music has always had.” Having torn up the road in the US playing alongside the likes of Kublai Khan, Spite and Knocked Loose, ORTHODOX takes its next step by announcing their new label home CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.

With a sound that encompasses the technicality and adroitness of hardcore with the rawness and emotion of influences including Iowa era Slipknot, Korn and System of a Down, ORTHODOX distinguished themselves from the outset with the release of 2017’s Sounds of Loss, released mere months after the band’s formation via Unbeaten Records.

Commenting on the signing, Orthodox, who is busily working on their third full length record with producer Randy LaBoeuf (Chamber, The Acacia Strain), states, “Hilariously enough, we signed with CM back in early 2020, waiting to unveil the news until the time is right. Now that that time is here, we're beyond ecstatic to share what we've been working on and can't wait to see what kind of impressions we can make with this team behind us.”

Century Media Vice President of A&R Mike Gitter adds, “ORTHODOX’s second album, Let It Take Its Course, was a complete coming of age for not just the band but a record that took hardcore and metal somewhere fresh and uncomfortably emotional. It’s the sort of record that bleeds with real vulnerability and honesty. And it bashes your skull in the process! ORTHODOX is going to be a band that will not only set the standard but will also make records that people will connect with for years to come.”

ORTHODOX is the sound of your world caving in on itself. They prove that once again with their new song "Body & Soul", which was released today on all digital platforms. The video for “Body & Soul”, directed by Erick Easterday is every bit a bloody blast to the ears, eyes and heart featuring the band tearing things up alongside their friend and visual artist Ryan Rado, who provided the extraordinary artwork for the single itself. The same was painted on the set of the video shoot with Rado artistically reacting to the music in real time.

This album contains no booklet.
