Man, these guys are REALLY good! The influence is beyond subtle, as these guys seem to be picking up where Sabbath left off in the 70's. Amazing band...
I can't let this thread slip without someone checking them out.
If you like classic Sabbath, think Vol 4 and Master of Reality, you're going to like this band. A lot. Yea, they aren't doing anything new but they're doing the Sabbath sound perfectly. It's funny, the original Sabbath.... (well, without Bill but that's a whole 'nother story) are recording a new album and I'm willing to bet that Orchid is going to sound more like classic Sabbath than what they put out.
Usually I can't stand bands that sound exactly like other bands but these guys just do it so damn well that I can easily look past it.
Check out a few tracks and it'll instantly sound familiar but at the same time, exciting because it's not a song you've heard before.
