A metallic hardcore band rooted in the spirit of straight edge with elements of nu-metal = ORTHODOX Learning To Dissolve", the third album with great potential ORTHODOX is a metal band from Tennessee, USA, a four-piece that prides itself on its sound of metallic hardcore with elements of unsettling new metal that is the opposite of the laid-back energy and country music vibe that one might expect from their hometown of Nashville. The band released their memorable first album "Sounds of Loss" in 2017, their second album "Let It Take Its Course" in 2019, and in October 2021, announced a deal with Century Media Records and released the label's debut single " Body & Soul" was released. In August 2022, the band will release its third full-length album, "Learning To Dissolve". Learning To Dissolve was recorded at Graphic Nature Audio Studios in Belleville, NJ with producer and mixer Randy Lebooeuf (THY ART IS MURDER, KUBLAI KHAN). The work was recorded in the sweltering heat of the summer of 2021 in the midst of frustration. After the work was completed, Hurricane Ida hit the studio and nearly caused the loss of data on the work, but the band members were able to carry their equipment out of the studio, thus avoiding the worst of the disaster. Frontman Adam said, "We've been going our own way and not caring what anyone else thinks. We didn't grow up on hardcore, we listened to bands like LINKIN PARK and SYSTEM OF A DOWN.In "Learning to Dissolve," those influences can be felt from the album's opening track, "Feel It Linger," to the last track, "Voice in The Choir. It's an impulsive and sophisticated sound that you won't forget once you hear it," he says. While the previous album "Let It Take Its Course" focused on the duality of love and anger, this album is about intense introspection. Sometimes the people and things you loved when you were young don't always match your moral compass. Realizing this, finding your own way and deciding what is the right thing to do is explored in depth in this album. Another reason for arriving at this theme is the harsh background of the members, who grew up in families with addiction problems. And, not surprisingly, the work also reflects the spirit of straight edge that is rooted in the members of ORTHODOX. The music video for "Head On A Spike," which was released in June, is a strong track that raises expectations for the work even higher, and is a statement of determination for the band. It's a song that gives the middle finger to all the people who have scorned us for not being able to do anything. We've always been overlooked as a clichéd band. This song is a message to those who think we're going to throw in the towel. We're not giving up! The key to ORTHODOX's rise to prominence will finally be announced in the summer of 2022.
