About orthodoxband The band started in the winter of 2004/05 and the next April they recorded the two themes of "Gran Poder", an amazing debut that is just the first stone of the sonic monolith they´re going to build step by step. In this first recording, their musical influences (Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Melvins, Sleep...) get mixed with their peculiar perception of the south-spanish religious folklore. The result is a liturgic music with obsesive repetitions, minimalism, feedback, distortion and endless drones creating a primitive feeling that leads to trance and remains as a perfect soundtrack for every dark point of christianism: opression, sin, suffering, guilt and pain. Orthodox members come from diferent bands of the spanish underground (Tierra, Degüello, The Forge... ) but is Orthodox the band where they feel free to express theirselves and let their personalities sing with a same voice. Now they´re working in new songs with new instrumentation (stand up bass, piano...) and showing influences from John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Morricone, Ligeti and religious music so they can express their spiritually in the heaviest way possible.
Zitat von AloneORTHODOX. Amanecer En Puerta Oscura. CD/LP. AR-020 CD/LP. (ltd. edition release gatefold 500 copies). ARTWORK by PEDRO G. ROMERO. Release Date: May, 21th 2007 7 Track album
Orthodox' second album "Amanecer En Puerta Oscura", gives a new perspective to the music they create towards many different directions. Comparing with their monolithic album debut, "Amanecer En Puerta Oscura" comes like a trip crossing through different steps where jazz influences, progressive sounds of King Crimson or the crushing and free forms experiences from Black Flag and Captain Beefheart, and at the same time not forgetting the true and pure metal roots from the band and the Andalusian cultural origins. The use of new instrumentation (clarinet, trompet, contrabass...), fits natural with the band’s original sound, opening a new window to see the light in a dark music concept. For a band like Orthodox, always looking for new and diverse forms of music expressions, "Amanecer En Puerta Oscura" is the logical evolution after their high critical acclaim and recognition with their debut album "Gran Poder" (Alone Records, 2006).
