This week we talk to progressive alternative metal band Eight Eyed Orchid.
Eight Eyed Orchid formed in early 2017 and it's band members come from a variety of different musical backgrounds from jazz and classical to extreme metal.
Not content to be a run of the mill metal act, the band instead explore a range of dynamics and textures, heavy riffs and melodies, all mixed together with a dark ambience of an almost cinematic quality.
The band is now releasing their debut EP "One by one & Two by two" following their warmly received single "Petrichor".
We talk about the bands sound, influences, formation, recording the EP and life in the Wellington music scene as a place for heavy artists to "break the rules".
