Formed as a meeting of minds between award-winning composer/vocalist LEF, King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, Marta Sui Tubi’s Carmelo Pipitone on guitar and bassist Colin Edwin, formerly of Porcupine Tree, O.R.k. set out their stall with their forceful and enticing debut album InIlamed Rides in 2015.
O.R.k. have cemented their reputation with further full length album releases, 2017’s Soul of an Octopus, 2019’s Ramagehead, and 2022’s well received fourth album Screamnasium.
O.R.k have long attracted the interest and support of fellow creative artists and musicians. Previous guests and collaborators have included multiplatinum vocal phenom Elisa, virtuoso cellist Jo Quail and System of a Down’s Serj Tankian. The creative duo of Grammy winning art director Adam Jones (of Tool) and Marvel/DC Comics illustrator Denis Rodier have also been involved in artwork and their albums remarkable visual imagery, while mixing and mastering duties have been undertaken by both Machine (Lamb of God, King Crimson, Clutch) and 3 time Grammy winner Marc Urselli.
O.R.k. have always been keen to point out that the band is no self indulgent studio project, with tours and live dates across Europe and South America over the years.
O.R.k. are kicking off a new round of activity with their latest single release “Blast of Silence” - the Iirst in a series of new songs and one that arguably draws on the heavier side of the band’s collective identity and which showcases a newly revitalised four piece. “Blast of Silence” showcases Lef’s powerful vocals at the forefront of an ambiguous twisted hymn to hidden depths and undiscovered possibilities. Carmelo Pipitone ably demonstrates his ability to craft intricate, expressive and memorable guitar parts whilst Pat Mastelotto and Colin Edwin match the dynamism with sensitivity and force on drums and bass respectively.
