ORB – Birth

Birth by ORB is a powerful debut that channels proto-metal energy through dark, fuzz-driven psychedelia. The album’s five lengthy tracks deliver thunderous riffs and sci-fi tonality that evoke both classic Sabbath doom and modern prog sensibilities. With an unapologetic sonic intensity and instrumental command, Birth stakes its claim as an essential heavy-psych statement from a young Australian trio.

ORB’s musical vision shines through in their execution—tight riffs crackle over cavernous bass grooves and disciplined drumming, creating immersive soundscapes that remain compelling across each track's duration. From the brooding opener “Iron Mountain” to the sprawling 16‑minute “Electric Blanket,” the album’s mix of aggression and atmosphere delivers a distinctive fusion of psychedelia and sludge-rooted riffcraft.
