groovy drums and bass? Check. Badass solos? Check. Massive, drop tuned prog riffs utilising dissonant chords and beefed up chugging? Check. Awesome vocals? Check. What a kick ass band. Such a huge influence on a young lad like myself.
So nice to hear that there are still talented rock musicians creating new music in the World today. These guys have the heavy down and Rob's vocals have been getting better and better, which is demonstrated clearly here.
In a sea of bands that sound overproduced and just follow trends, Dorje is a refreshment! Every song is so memorable... I hope to see you headlining these huge festivals all over the globe, you deserve it! Greetings from Bosnia! And Bea, your solos are amazing, and inspiring.
What an album. It's seriously good. Rob's vocals have improved significantly , Rabea's playing is en pointe as always and Ben and Dave drive the rhythm bus like pros. Fuck, its good.
"Marginally" - are you kdding?! Rob has improved so much since he first started out singing. He has dedicated so much time to it and it really shows. He has improved drastically.
Maybe they meant to use a different word. Marginally doesn't really make much sense among the level of praise they're giving, so maybe it was a typo or misunderstanding of what the word means.
What I love about Dorje's sound is the refreshing feeling it brings to the musical palette. A lot of bands just start blending together. But this is refreshing.
these are some of the best written riffs of the modern era, 100 percent. there is so much potential for character in his voice, the music is always staying groovy, consistent and keeping busy, such simplicity yet exploration. these guys know how to take advantage of every direction the music goes in. absolutely incredible. Also for my personal preference I love that the singer makes use of the major 3rd in the vocal melody in exactly the right places. The guitar riffs are so forward and present and that is exactly what modern hard rock/metal needs to be stirring towards, there is just a fantastic array of ambiance compared to heaviness which creates amazing atmosphere. Anyway ill shut up now, but keep playing Dorje!!!!!
Every time I listen to this I get blindsided by how good Rob's vocals have gotten and holy shit those riffs are filthy! All around crazy and flawless rhythm work which is something you hardly see in bands these days
I hate how people are treating this piece like an amateur stuff, giving "advices", complaining like you can change their style to your liking. This i truly flawless PRO material. I absolutely love it, even tho i am not usually a fan of this particular genre. Greetings from Poland, thank you Dorje.
This is a seriously good group of songs, the diversity between each of them is not only show of your skill as songwriters, but your creativity as musicians as a whole. This is going to be on repeat for at least the next few months, no lie. Thank you guys for making this and I hope you keep making music like this for a very long time. All the man love
Dorje / Toska is clearly under rated compared to other "beasts" that are promoted by Roadrunner and Nuclear Blast Prog has never sounded so beast!!! New Dorje ALBUM? AND TOOL!!??? HECK, BRING EM ON, MY EARS ARE ALREADY WET!!!
@@graysonwilson-cacciapalle7989 It's up there on my charts ( Obviously i am biased but that's why i am here xD ) with Fire by the Silos and Chapman's Chromatic Aberrations
Thank you for being incredible as always, i've discovered you last year and you become one of my best influences, please keep it up, cheers from Argentina
Saw Rob and Rabea on Andertons videos. First hearing this now. I love it. Inspiring stuff that has technical ability and tons of feel. Great job on this. I am a fan
Fuck me, the first track Centered and One has gotta be one of the best sounding songs I've heard in so long. The rhythm section is spot on and love that guitar riff in the verse. Rob's vocals only get better and better too!!! 😄
I have commented on the first video of Aeromancy. I think I have said something like Rob's voice have been beaten by guitars in the mix. Now I have been listening to this pure hard rock musical beast. One of the best and mid rangy gained guitar sounds is here. And Rob has beaten them all in this mix with his voice without any tricks! Well Done to all!
Will Dorje return? I have no idea, and I hope they do. Thank you Spotify daily playlists for introducing me to white dove, and a few years later, their small, but amazing, catalogue. I hope y'all play again.
I came here via the brilliant Toto-Africa cover by Leo after seeing Rabea playing in it. Bingo! I am now a new fan - this is a seriously great album and I look forward to more in the future. Rob's vocals are spot-on. I bought it on amazon music! :)
Rob man, your vocals are so good!!! Bea, Ben, Dave, sounding phat. Just more eargasm goodness as always from everyone. Love Centred and one, such good riffage ^.^
Phenomenal album guys. Amazing vocals, massive riffs, wicked tones, epic grooves. Fantastic Rob! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos man. I can't wait to hear the studio version of Detritus
Bought both albums on iTunes when they came out and have been a huge fan ever since. Dorje might just be my new favourite band! Such amazing riffs and rythm section. You guys certainly deserve worldwide fame! Cheers from Switzerand!
this was was amazing rob everysong was amazing! I couldn't skip any songs that's how good they were! Keep it up you inspire me to keep playing guitar!!
I just bought your 2 EPs on Google Play and I must say, the more I listen to the songs the more I like them, great job guys! And also Rob, OMG your voice, just amazing I love your scream!
Seriously like, now that i have listened to the whole thing. Guitar playing, bass and drums are awesome as always (I am in love with Toska aswell), but i need to give special props to Robs vocals! They have improved immensely, with out a doubt one of my favorite vocalists, aswell as one of my favourite youtubers!
wow a reply from the man himself! I appreciate that! Btw, there hasn't been a piece of hear i bought that i haven't checked your channel for a review of it! :P
Wow this in incredible, glad you guys are getting some of the recognition you deserve. I can't think of a more deserving group of musicians. Keep it up!
Buying this to go along with my 2 y/o digital copy of Catalyst when I get some money through the door!!! Most all the songs are that amazing pre-established raucous prog metal tone that you can just vegetate to, so bouncy and powerful, vocally and rhythmically. However Zero is definitely the black sheep of the album, despite that it's such a beautiful, powerful song... even made me a bit emotional at the chorus, this song is the pinnacle of Rob's amazing lyrical and vocal development the difference from early Dorje/The Rob Chapman Band is absolutely astounding. Such an inspiring dual-EP guys, keep the powerhouse going, so excited for what's next in line!!!
This album is completely astounding. So intense. Each and every song is so different from the other and so original with so much details...The level of musicianship here is very patent, it’s made clear they are REAL musicians which have great knowledge not only in their field (rock and heavy music), but in many other genres. Never get tired of listening to it. Rob’s vocals are constantly surprising me as they evolve and evolve...and in this album I honestly find they can’t get any better! Such a pleasure to listen to. His tone is so unique that it contributes with Rabea’s, Dave’s and Ben’s original licks and playing to create a very very charasteristic atmosphere and environment which I love being surrounded by. I’m probably uploading another vocal cover of one of your songs if I reach that skill of singing in this album hahaha Congratulations, Dorje. I’m so proud of being a fan of yours.
Amazing both eps are just amazing catalyst was the first song of yours a heard a friend showed me it and till then i had not been into rock and metal i am now 15 and have played more gigs than ive seen and you guys have been a huge inspiration to me keep it up , greetings from scotland :)
This inspires me so much honestly, how good of a player rob is, with damn amazing vocals is what keeps me up at 4 in the morning practicing to try and be as good as him
Now I see why Rob drinks a lot of hot tea on tour. Outstanding record! Congrats lads getting better and better. Hope to catch a show when you guys come stateside. Cheers!
The way the rhythm hits on "Outspoken" makes my fucking soul ache. I love you so much, it has been so fantastic watching you guys mesh and improve as a band these last few years, including learn how to jam Tasty thanks to the Monkey Lord stuff and Andertons vids. So great, thank you so much, Rob, Bea, Ben and Dave!
can't believe its almost been a year since i saw you guys play in larvik! i bought a kraken amp a couple days after the show because it sounded so great! this record is really awesome! can't wait to see you in the future :)
It's available on CD in their webstore (link is in the description), unfortunately only as a part of CD+T-shirt bundle. I say "Unfortunately" because the T-shirt sizes available are very limited and there's no X-L (which is what I need). A bummer really :(
This is the one where it all comes together. - This mix is balanced, clear and powerful - Rob you've really found your voice here. You already had a good voice but you so sounded more self-conscious on other releases. The use of reserved amounts of screaming really brings life and variety. Reminds me of Audioslave era Cornell screams. - Nice use of shifted around song structures - Obviously the instrumentals are fantastic and always have been but all of you guys are virtuosos Look forward to the album guys. Maybe one day if we get our shit together we may get to play with you on stage.
Awesome album! Very reminiscent of Toska, but that's no surprise. The vocals were somewhat unique. In places they reminded me of Chris Cornell during the aggressive parts, and at other times they reminded me of the guy from the German band Brainstorm. Great riffs, and I like the emotional sweeps all throughout. Again, awesome album! :)
This is great stuff all around, it's awesome to see the progression and improvement especially in rob's singing! Hard rock got tiresome to me with a lot of bands sounding the same, but Dorje just has a unique vibe..
Got to see you guys last year in August which was insane. Amazing album, lost track of how many times I've listened to it. If you guys play in Guildford again anytime soon I'll definitely be there!
I CAN NOT believe I just now discovered this band today June 3rd, 2020. What a late fuckin bloomer I am! Hahahah....but really, right off from the beginning I was drawn in, excited & digging what I was hearing. So I looked them up on the Google-melator & pow! My new to me favorite! Dorje is killer! Going back to listening now and allready spreading word to my homies here in Virginia USA! 🤘🏻🍻🤘🏻

Thanks Kirk!
Kirk Whammet the prodigy!
oooh, centered and wah
use less wah!
What A Band...Now Sadly Split as of 16/12/21
Thanks For The Music Rob, Rabea, Ben and Dave.
Man I hope these guys come back. I cannot get enough of them.
Kudos to whoever mixed this album, sounds Amazing.
So nice to hear that there are still talented rock musicians creating new music in the World today. These guys have the heavy down and Rob's vocals have been getting better and better, which is demonstrated clearly here.

Maybe they meant to use a different word. Marginally doesn't really make much sense among the level of praise they're giving, so maybe it was a typo or misunderstanding of what the word means.
JummySea Hit the nail on the head. I thought marginally meant "a lot" or something along those lines; I'll edit it out.
Cheers!
Personally, I thought his voice was always really good.
Absolutely amazing. Faith, love, truth, music. Dorje. At today's number one in the world.
I just want one more song from you guys
The chemistry from the 4 of you is beyond impressive, it's like the stars aligned and made my favorite band
This music gives me moments of "Incubus meets Soundgarden and both have lots of fun". I like it.
What I love about Dorje's sound is the refreshing feeling it brings to the musical palette. A lot of bands just start blending together. But this is refreshing.
these are some of the best written riffs of the modern era, 100 percent. there is so much potential for character in his voice, the music is always staying groovy, consistent and keeping busy, such simplicity yet exploration. these guys know how to take advantage of every direction the music goes in. absolutely incredible.

The guitar riffs are so forward and present and that is exactly what modern hard rock/metal needs to be stirring towards, there is just a fantastic array of ambiance compared to heaviness which creates amazing atmosphere. Anyway ill shut up now, but keep playing Dorje!!!!!
Can you guys sort it out and make more music please and thankyou? Such epic grooves man, the world needs more.
THAT. FUCKING. SCREAM. Rob i freakin' love you man! Keep on rocking!
Thanks dude!
no no, thank YOU!
Every time I listen to this I get blindsided by how good Rob's vocals have gotten and holy shit those riffs are filthy! All around crazy and flawless rhythm work which is something you hardly see in bands these days
Modern Metal is all about rythm wtf jajajaja. I mean of course I´m referring to the Djent bands and artists but kjjj
I hate how people are treating this piece like an amateur stuff, giving "advices", complaining like you can change their style to your liking. This i truly flawless PRO material. I absolutely love it, even tho i am not usually a fan of this particular genre. Greetings from Poland, thank you Dorje.
The best relatively unknown British rock band period
This is a seriously good group of songs, the diversity between each of them is not only show of your skill as songwriters, but your creativity as musicians as a whole. This is going to be on repeat for at least the next few months, no lie. Thank you guys for making this and I hope you keep making music like this for a very long time. All the man love
Dorje / Toska is clearly under rated compared to other "beasts" that are promoted by Roadrunner and Nuclear Blast
Prog has never sounded so beast!!! New Dorje ALBUM? AND TOOL!!??? HECK, BRING EM ON, MY EARS ARE ALREADY WET!!!
How's that new Tool album ;)
@@graysonwilson-cacciapalle7989 pretty fuckin good ;)
@@graysonwilson-cacciapalle7989 It's up there on my charts ( Obviously i am biased but that's why i am here xD ) with Fire by the Silos and Chapman's Chromatic Aberrations
Powerful music, strong lyrics, absolutely love you and your songs guys !
Thanks man!
Thank you for being incredible as always, i've discovered you last year and you become one of my best influences, please keep it up, cheers from Argentina

How am I supposed to live without more dorje

Robs vocals sound fucking amazing on Zero. So much depth and power in his voice. Wow.
Thanks man!
"And here I stand..on a small mountain with wild fire like winds and lightening..... naked...and screaming at the sky.." 10/10

I wish they would still make music Chapman I didn’t know you had this kind of vocals
This album is completely astounding. So intense.

Congratulations, Dorje. I’m so proud of being a fan of yours.
Love the entire EP. To Survive has such a good hookline. Also flower of life's chorus is just awesome song writing.
Awesome EP, even better on vinyl.

DAMN this hits hard.
Miss you man!
can't believe its almost been a year since i saw you guys play in larvik! i bought a kraken amp a couple days after the show because it sounded so great! this record is really awesome! can't wait to see you in the future :)
Awesome man! Thanks!
great groove guys!! ;)
Need to buy a physical copy
Where can you buy it?
It's available on CD in their webstore (link is in the description), unfortunately only as a part of CD+T-shirt bundle. I say "Unfortunately" because the T-shirt sizes available are very limited and there's no X-L (which is what I need). A bummer really :(
I saw it in HMV when I last went there a few weeks ago.
it is indeed in HMV
This is perfection!
Really really awesomee good job keep it up
seriously good album !! it needed to be longer :)
We're working on a longer one!
This is so *E A R G A S M I C*
15 seconds in and already blown away. sheeeeeeit. love you Rob and Rabea (and Dave and Ben too)!
Thanks dude!
doing good with the music boys! keep it up. Great Vocal performance too, never would assume rob had it in him, and he is sounding rather howard-esque!
Outspoken is such a great song
centered+1--> ! great album!!! amazing guits!!! best produced >
A amazing trip !!!
GREAT STUFF BOYS LOVE IT!
this is awesome guys
love solo from the song ''To Survive'' !
love it still
This is the one where it all comes together.
- This mix is balanced, clear and powerful
- Rob you've really found your voice here. You already had a good voice but you so sounded more self-conscious on other releases. The use of reserved amounts of screaming really brings life and variety. Reminds me of Audioslave era Cornell screams.
- Nice use of shifted around song structures
- Obviously the instrumentals are fantastic and always have been but all of you guys are virtuosos
Look forward to the album guys. Maybe one day if we get our shit together we may get to play with you on stage.
Tremendo disco! Soo good
awesome love it
heard ... done ... impressed ... done ... paid ... done
Awesome album! Very reminiscent of Toska, but that's no surprise. The vocals were somewhat unique. In places they reminded me of Chris Cornell during the aggressive parts, and at other times they reminded me of the guy from the German band Brainstorm.

I will try to get You some gigs in Poland!!!!!!!!
GREAT album :)
Thanks bro!
Yeah would be awesome to see you in Poland!
Please please please
Hot damn. This is inspiring me to write again.
Got to see you guys last year in August which was insane. Amazing album, lost track of how many times I've listened to it. If you guys play in Guildford again anytime soon I'll definitely be there!
Thanks man! :)
Man! I love all four of you!
Wooooooooooo
I CAN NOT believe I just now discovered this band today June 3rd, 2020. What a late fuckin bloomer I am! Hahahah....but really, right off from the beginning I was drawn in, excited & digging what I was hearing. So I looked them up on the Google-melator & pow! My new to me favorite! Dorje is killer! Going back to listening now and allready spreading word to my homies here in Virginia USA! 🤘🏻🍻🤘🏻
