Orchid | Chaos Is Me | Riff Worship

The ‘90s served as a transitional era for hardcore punk and while many shed themselves of their ethos to get ahead, others dug their heels in and continued to push boundaries. Four college students in Amherst, Massachusetts did just that in 1999, unleashing 11 tracks of their own chaotic and dissonant version of hardcore.
Although the band was short-lived and relatively unknown at time, the album has since become a staple of the underground and its influence is still felt today. Join us this week as we celebrate ⁠Orchid’s⁠ debut full-length ⁠Chaos Is Me⁠!

this album is a highway straight to riff city.

Skramz is the ONLY acceptable word for this! C'mon, now!

OK, maybe you could also call it power-violence, or maybe even better emo-violence, or, like, rock 'n' roll. But ain't nothin' wrong with the greatest retronym of all time: SKRAMZ. How else to differentiate good music from the bubblegum mall pop christian dreck that goes by the names "emo" or "screamo" these days?!?!
