Musically, ‘We Feast’ packs the speed and exuberance of Hardcore Punk as well as the heft, grit and low-end chug of Death Metal that has inspired the band’s three individuals for the decades in numerous projects they have been involved with.
‘We Feast’ was recorded in different DIY spaces and home studios around Hong Kong before being mixed and mastered (between ORCHiD’s reunion shows) by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air in Western Massachusetts for maximum sonic attack and clarity.
Videos for ‘女武神 malenia blade of miquella’ and ‘Angel 放假 Angel’s Annual Leave’ were rolled out in the last month ahead of the release of ‘We Feast’.
