A Band Of Orcs Invades Earth With New Album "Adding Heads To The Pile"
Band Photo: A Band of Orcs (?)
The prelimary invasion of the soft, weak races of Earth began with "WarChiefs of the Apocalypse" (reviewed here), and the orcs took a brief side trek to metal-up the fantasy miniature world, but now it's officially time to add even more heads to the pile!
The debut full-length album from A Band of Orcs, "Adding Heads to the Pile," doesn't see it's official release (and the subsequent enslavement of all mankind) until Halloween through Itchy Metal Entertainment, but now you lucky few get the chance to hear the release in full, and possibly be spared orcish wrath come the Domination.
The album tells a tale of A Band of Orcs' mercenary employment for a human kingdom in the realm of Hirntodia. This craven kingdom of humans hires the Gore-Stained Axe Tribe to "settle their giant troubles" for them with axe and spear, but they get a lot more than they bargained for, once the orcs fulfill the terms of their geas by vanquishing the giants and returning to pay the piper.
Give all 13 tracks of the album a listen in the player below (the songs may take a few seconds to load the songs after hitting "play.") If you dig the death metal you hear and don't want to be eaten by orcs on the 31st, pre-order "Adding Heads to the Pile" right here.
A lyric video for "In The Keeper's Chamber" can also be found below, and the album's track listing is as follows:
1. Prepare for Domination
2. When the Hills Run Red
3. In the Keeper's Chamber
4. Of Broken Chains & Shattered Skulls
5. Wyrd of the Winter Wolf
6. The Darkness that Comes Before (Interlude)
7. Hall of the Frozen Dead
8. Lair of the Ice Wyrm
9. Stormbringer
10. At the Mouth of Fire
11. Fall of the Fire Lord
12. Adding Heads to the Pile
13. A Deeper Evil (Instrumental)

Except there isnt any creativity at all. A generic death metal band with a monotone sound that just happens to wish it was Gwar. I listened to this album in-full one time to make sure I was giving it a fair chance. This band gets praised on here like its the greatest thing to have ever happened to metal. That is what doesnt make sense to me.

Vancouver is pretty loyal to Gwar. Not sure the Orcs would get to much love over there. Lordi has been booed off stage for being yet another Gwar clone, would probably happen with these guys too. If the Orcs were to play Vancouver, they'd probably play the dumpy Winkerbeans or Astoria crack-den pubs

I guess the biggest difference between Lordi and GWAR is that Lordi fvcking sucks. The difference between the Orcs and GWAR is that Orcs bring it musically. While GWAR is cool and all, they lack the technicality that the Orcs bring to the table. I think the Orcs will do just fine anywhere they play because their music stands strong alone.
ES: He's comparing the two for the worst possible reason. Orcs will add his head to the pile soon.
