BIO

Orphans of Doom is an American post-metal band from Kansas City, Missouri. Centered in heavy riffage, the band takes you on a journey of melodic dueling lead guitars over driving bass and primal drums. Their new album “Realms” expands on their previous full lengths “Strange World/Fierce Gods” & “II”, with a more melodic, sludgier, progressive direction. Over 9 songs, Realms explores different dimensions that all fall prey to a nefarious force. Some realms triumph while others are destroyed. With sparse vocals, and very dense instrumental passages, there is something for every post-metal enthusiast.

REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS RELEASES

"In a time where most of the music scene has been defined by reaffirming existing practices and taking occasional baby-steps into less familiar territory, it is refreshing to see some younger acts out there taking some sizable risks and coming out with something highly listenable in the process."

– Jonathan Smith, Sonic Perspectives

"Strange Worlds/Fierce Gods was an intense ripper that kept your head banging through the entirety of its run time, and is a great foundation for what could be a very strong career in heavy music. The question is,“Does this new album keep that fire rolling?”. The short answer is yes, yes it does."

– Carlos Balmaceda, Sleeping Village Reviews

"There’s a point about halfway through the third track on Orphans of Doom’s sophomore album that really emphasizes where the band now finds itself. At the midpoint of “Swans,” the song goes from a slow pummeling into an outright barrage. It’s the auditory equivalent of a friendly sparring session turning into a beatdown, and it’s so, so good."

– Nick Spacek, The Pitch

"Orphans Of Doom debut album Strange Worlds/Fierce Gods is a mighty throwback to the good old days of Sludge/Post-Metal with heavy elements of Doom/Stoner Metal grooves. Throw in a dash of psychedelic weirdness and you have an album that takes the early thunderous days of Baroness and injects it with the spaced out worldly sounds of VYGR."

– Steve Howe, Outlaws of the Sun
