Orgy came out of the heavy-metal Los Angeles scene
at the end of the century and summarized in many ways the state of the art
of the genre: Korn's disturbed psyche mixed with
Marilyn Manson's glamour,
and propelled by
Nine Inch Nails's electronic-laden soundscapes and
Gravity Kills' industrial beats.
The surging guitars of Amir Davidson and Ryan Shuck and the
psychotic vocals of Jay Gordon duel epically on
Candyass (Warner, 1998), and, although the hit was a cover, the band
displays its musical skills mainly in Stitches.
Melodic hooks and symphonic-like arrangements propel
Vapor Transmission (Warner, 2000).
Its songs espouse glam-rock but in a violent, twisted, disfigured form.
The massive sonic impact of Suckerface is due to super-heavy
distorted guitars, roaring distorted electronics and pounding drums, and matched
by sneering vocals.
Imagine Ultravox propelled by nuclear
reactors and you get Opticon.
Imagine David Bowie turned into a vampyr and backed by a gang of androids
and you get Odyssey.
Image Peter Gabriel in a biotech lab and you get Saving Faces.
The more human quasi-ballad melody of Fiction and the
threnody & power-ballad Eve hint at a less terrifying future.
