BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE create huge, memorable rock music that combines heavy-hitting savagery with intense melodic beauty. Their technical, fearlessly complex grooves and gigantic sing-along choruses have already earned them a widespread fanbase. A ferociously tight live band, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have toured Europe and the UK extensively, supporting Skunk Anansie, HED P.E, INME, Cellar Darling and Black Map as well as festival slots at Download, Standon Calling, Tech Fest, Teddy Rocks and Planet Rockstock. Following on from album releases with Long Branch Records and Season Of Mist, the band recently signed with Year Of The Rat Records landing support from BBC Radio 1, Spotify and Kerrang and now release second single ‘Blood God’ on the 4th July 2025.
“The songs on this new album are inspired by mythology – some of the cornerstones of human culture and fictional experience. Blood God is written from the perspective of someone completely on the thrall of a powerful, demonic Vampire. We all love gothic horror and the backdrop it creates for this track is a really fun place to explore – it really lends itself to some crushing riffs and epic choruses!” – Paul, Black Orchid Empire
