Orthodox Premieres “Searching For A Pulse” Video, Announces Cameos From Mastodon, Boundaries & More On Upcoming Album

Nashville, TN-based nü-metalcore outfit Orthodox have officially announced their upcoming studio album, “A Door Left Open”. Produced by Randy LeBoeuf (Jesus Piece, Kublai Khan TX), the record is set for release on June 06th via Century Media. Alongside this announcement, the band has unveiled the album’s latest single, “Searching For A Pulse”.

A press release described the meaning behind the album’s title as follows:

‘Picture this: You get home—the same home you’ve come home to for as long as you remember, taking the same road with the same shadows cast from those familiar tree—and though the temperature feels appropriately crisp in the evening air, you notice there’s a bit more bite to it right before realizing the light on your porch also cuts through more sharply. The inside’s shine pierces the outside’s darkness: A Door Left Open.

On A Door Left Open, Orthodox capture the sense of unease and full-on dread one would feel having their comfort and routine violated. What got in—or what got out?’

Speaking about this second single, vocalist Adam Easterling commented:

“This is about a reoccurring dream I would get every time we left for tour that my house was burning down and I couldn’t make it home in time to save it. I tried to write something that encapsulates an overall fear and eventual submission to being powerless.”

This album features a trio of guest appearances, including Comeback Kid frontman Andrew Neufeld on the previously released track "Commit To Consequence." Additionally, Mastodon drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor and Boundaries singer Matt McDougal contribute guest spots on other tracks.
