Orbs started when Between The Buried And Me’s Dan Briggs started trading music with Ashley Ellyllon, who has played keyboards for both Abigail Williams and Cradle Of Filth. Rounding out the band are Fear Before’s Adam Fisher, Clayton Holyoak and Chuck Johnson. Despite their metallic background, Orbs’ debut is more like an epic space-rock adventure where you are constantly surprised.
Guitars and keyboards are constantly swirling around and feeding off of one another while busy drumwork sets the pace with Fisher’s vocal stylings further whipping up a wall of sound. While it could’ve easily turned out to be a cacophony of sounds, Orbs sounds amazingly restrained in all its exuberance. It all makes “Asleep Next To Science” a must for all the Muse fans out there. If this is just a debut, I can’t wait to hear what else they have up their sleeves.
Score: 8 out of 10
