Besides having a badass band name Crimson Orchid has a kick ass CD to match. Every song on here is inspired from their own everyday lives, the second half is directed at the fucked up world we live in and how people are starting to reach their boiling points, if you really think about it that's pretty damn scary. Band inspirations include Opeth, King Diamond, and the legendary B.B. King..now how bangin' is that?

Listening to this besides having some really heavy beats Crimson Orchid has some crushing lyrics to mash you up with. These boys have been included in some very disturbing things like loss of friends and family, suicide, and actually witnessing a homicide- you can really see how those things really had an effect on them. Right now they have a third album in the works and they aim to keep it hardcore- just how we like it!
